When someone blocks you on Apple, they are preventing you from being able to contact them through iMessage, FaceTime, or other forms of communication through Apple. Apple will not give any notification when you are blocked and there is no way for you to know for sure that you have been blocked.
If you suspect that someone has blocked you, look for signs such as not being able to see the person’s profile photo or last active status, or if messages sent to that person are not being delivered.
How do I know if I’ve been blocked on iPhone?
If you believe that you have been blocked by someone on iPhone, there are a few ways to know for sure. The most obvious indication is if you are unable to send them an iMessage or a text message. If these messages appear in blue and not green on your Messages app, it is a sign that the person has blocked you.
Another indication could be if you can’t see their name or profile picture in any list you have them on in the Messages app. Furthermore, if any of their text replies to you are always one-liners without any conversation, it is also a sign that you have been blocked.
Lastly, if you have been blocked, you will not be able to call them or FaceTime them. If you try to call them, it will either ring briefly and hang up on its own, or it will go directly to voicemail.
How can I know who blocked me on iMessage?
Unfortunately, there is no direct way to find out who has blocked you on iMessage. Because Apple does not allow you to see the list of blocked users, the only way to find out who has blocked you is to take a few indirect approaches.
The first approach would be to look through your message history with the user and simply see if any messages have been sent that have not been replied to. If your messages are going unanswered, even after waiting several days, it is likely you have been blocked.
Another method of finding out if someone has blocked you is to call them. If the user’s phone number is not available in your contact list anymore, or if the call logs are missing, it could mean you have been blocked.
One last approach would be to ask your friends who may be in contact with the user you suspect has blocked you. Chances are a friend may be able to tell you if their messages are getting through, or if the user is just not responding to anyone.
Ultimately, the best approach is simply to ask the user directly if they have blocked you. While this may seem awkward, it will probably be the only surefire way of finding out.
Does iMessage say delivered if you’re blocked?
No, iMessage will not say delivered if you’ve been blocked by the recipient. When you send a message, if it is successfully delivered, it will say “Delivered” under the message. However, if you are blocked, your message will not be delivered, and will never reach the recipient.
Instead, you’ll see a “Not Delivered” error message. The message will appear to be sent, but will never reach the other party. Additionally, no delivery notification will appear in the conversation to indicate that it has not been delivered.
Am I blocked if iMessage sent as text?
No, sending an iMessage as text will not block you. iMessage is an additional feature available on iPhones and iPads that allows users to send messages over the internet, rather than traditional SMS texts.
If a user sends an iMessage as a text, the message will still be sent and the recipient can still reply. The only difference is that they won’t be able to see the iMessage “bubble” or any of the special iMessage features such as sending stickers or using an “echo” effect.
Ultimately, if you’re using iMessage but the other person is using an Android device or doesn’t have iMessage enabled, the message will default to being sent as a text.
What do blocked texts look like?
When you receive a blocked text, it will generally appear as a long line of symbols or symbols and numbers. Typically, the message will not make sense to the recipient due to being encrypted or blocked by the sender.
Depending on the type of phone and the carrier, some types of blocked text might not be received at all, or appear as if it was never sent. In most cases, the sender’s phone number may not appear or be partially visible either.
Additionally, some phones may not display the message in a readable format and might just show a message saying that the message was blocked and cannot be read.
How do you tell if you’re blocked on iMessage?
If you think you may have been blocked on iMessage, there are several tell-tale signs you can look out for. If the person you’re messaging has their Read Receipts enabled, a message that you’ve sent would usually show as “Read” with a time stamp next to it when they have read it.
If the message remains “Delivered” instead, this could indicate that you’ve been blocked, since the recipient isn’t opening the messages. Additionally, if you try to call the person and it goes straight to voicemail without ringing, the person may have blocked you from making calls and sending messages.
Also, if you try sending an iMessage to the person but it does not appear to have been delivered, and you have no read receipts, the person could have blocked you. Finally, if you suspect you’ve been blocked, you should try to send a message to other contacts in the same conversation.
If your messages appear for them but not for the person you suspect is blocking you, it is possible that the latter has blocked you.
