When someone blocks your phone number, it will sound like your calls and texts are not going through. You may hear something like a rapid busy signal or a message stating that the number you’re trying to reach is unavailable.
Additionally, when you try to call the number, you may not even hear the phone ringing and instead could get a variation of the error messages previously mentioned. Of course, you won’t know for sure whether someone has blocked your number until they tell you or you talk to an alternate contact who they haven’t blocked.
Can you tell if someone blocked your number?
Yes, it is possible to tell if someone has blocked your number. If you have been communicating with the person regularly and suddenly your calls and texts don’t go through, that could indicate that they have blocked your number.
Also, if you try to call them and hear a message saying the number you have dialed is not in service, that could mean they have blocked your number as well. Additionally, if you receive notifications that your texts have been sent, but the person doesn’t receive them, that is another sign that they have blocked your number.
Lastly, if you are able to see the person’s profile picture and status on certain messaging services, yet their name appears as a blank or a “no contact”, that could be a sign that they have blocked your number.
What happens when you text someone who blocked you?
When someone blocks you, they essentially remove any trace of your presence on their device. This means that any messages you send them will not be delivered and they will not receive them. It is essentially as if you are not even a part of their contacts list.
Additionally, if you and the person that blocked you were part of a group text or thread, they will no longer be able to see your messages. Any attempts to reach the person will likely go unanswered, as your messages will not be received.
Do blocked Imessages turn green?
No, blocked iMessages do not turn green. When an iMessage is sent from one device to another device, the message will show up in blue. This indicates that the message is sent via iMessage and not regular text messaging (SMS).
When an iMessage is blocked, it will appear as “Not Delivered” on the device sending the message, however, the message will not turn green. The sender will not get delivery confirmation or “Read” receipts.
If the recipient has blocked the message, the sender will also not be able to send them another iMessage unless they manually unblock the sender.
Will text say delivered if blocked on iPhone?
No, if a text message is blocked on an iPhone, it will not show as ‘Delivered’ on the sender’s device. Instead, the message will just show as ‘Sent’ and will never change. If the recipient has blocked their number, or have an active ‘Do Not Disturb’ setting enabled on their phone, then the sender will not receive any sort of notification that their message has been blocked or undelivered.
How do you know if you have been blocked?
Depending on the platform being used, certain signs can suggest that you have been blocked.
On direct messaging platforms such as WhatsApp or SMS, messages will remain as ‘delivered’ after sending, even if the person has blocked you. If you are unsure, try sending a few more messages to check.
On social media platforms such as Facebook or Instagram, if someone has blocked you their profile will no longer appear on your friends list. Similarly, you will be unable to view closely mutual friends, posts, stories and comments.
Another giveaway is if you no longer appear in the group chat. If everyone else is sending messages and yours are not being sent or seen by the group, then it is likely that you have been blocked or removed from the group.
It is also worth noting that if you have been blocked, it is possible that you may still see notifications or photos of the user. This is because these will usually remain stored in your device. This does not necessarily mean that you are not blocked, but it is worth checking.
Overall, keep an eye out for discrepancies, sent messages that remain undelivered, withheld posts and changes in friend lists as these could all hint that you have been blocked by the user.
Will someone still get my texts if they blocked me iPhone?
No, if someone has blocked you on their iPhone, then they will not receive any of your texts. Additionally, they will not receive any of your calls. They have essentially removed your contact from their iPhone, so you will not be able to reach them through any method.
What color are Imessages If you are blocked?
If you are blocked on iMessage, the message bubbles will appear gray, as opposed to the blue that they would normally appear in. To avoid confusion, there will also be no “Delivered” notification or two checkmarks that usually appear once the message has been successfully sent and received.
If you try sending a message to a person who has blocked you, the message will not be sent and you will receive a “Not Delivered” notification, informing you that the message was not successfully sent.
What happens when someone tries to text you but they are blocked?
When someone tries to text you but they are blocked, they will not be able to successfully send a message as they are not allowed to communicate with you. Depending on the type of phone and text messaging service, the sender may receive a notification indicating that their message was not successfully sent.
Alternatively, the sender may be unaware that the message did not go through and may be confused as to why they never received a response.
What does a blocked person see if they text you?
If the person is blocked from sending text messages to you, they will not be able to send the message. However, if they try to send a text, they will receive a notification that their message was not delivered and that you are no longer accepting messages from them.
Additionally, if they try to reach out via other messaging platforms, such as Instagram or Snapchat, they may still be able to send the messages, but they will not be delivered to you. Depending on their particular platform, this message may be visible to them or they may receive a notification that their message was not delivered.
How long does a number stay blocked?
The duration of time that a phone number will stay blocked will depend on the type of blocking you have implemented. For example, if you have a carrier-level blocking with your provider, the block can last up to 90 days before you have to renew the block.
If you have imposed a block with the Do Not Call Registry, it will be permanent and the phone number will remain blocked until the list is updated. Some applications may also allow you to set a time limit for the number to remain blocked.
Ultimately, the length of time that a number stays blocked will depend on the solution you are using.
Where do blocked messages go?
When someone sends a message that has been blocked, the message itself isn’t actually “deleted” or stored anywhere; instead, the person who sent the message only receives a notification that the message couldn’t be delivered.
That means the intended recipient will never see the message; they won’t even get a notification that someone tried to send them a message. The message itself will remain in the sender’s outbox, but the phone won’t attempt to deliver it to the recipient’s device.
Depending on the service and messaging app being used, the blocked message may remain visible in the sender’s account or device until it is manually deleted, or it may be automatically deleted after a certain period of time.
