If you send a text to a blocked number, it is likely that the text will not be delivered. The person who has blocked your number will not receive your message, and the service provider will not receive or store a copy of your message.
Depending on the mobile or app provider you are using to send the message, you may receive a message or notification that the message was not delivered. If this occurs, your recipient may have blocked your number.
Generally speaking, if a person has blocked you, it is unlikely that you will be able to unblock them or persuade them to unblock you. You may need to contact the person directly in order to resolve the situation.
Can I text someone I blocked on iPhone?
No, you cannot text someone you have blocked on iPhone. Blocking someone sends calls, messages, and FaceTime requests to your blocked list. This means the person you blocked will no longer receive calls, messages, or FaceTime requests from you, as well as not being able to contact you in any other way through your iOS device.
If a blocked contact attempts to reach out to you through text, email, or other forms of messaging, they will not be able to do so since they’re blocked.
Will a text message say delivered if blocked?
No, a text message will not say “delivered” if it is blocked. If a text message is blocked, the sender will not receive any indication that the message was not delivered. In other words, the sender will be unaware that the message has been blocked.
Additionally, if a message is blocked, the sender will not be able to see any changes in the delivery status of the message. For instance, if the message is blocked, the sender won’t be able to see if the message has been read.
A message may also be “undeliverable” if the recipient’s phone is switched off or out of cell phone coverage. In this case, the sender will be notified of the failed delivery attempts.
Do blocked messages get delivered when unblocked?
Yes, blocked messages that have been sent will be delivered to the recipient once the sender is unblocked. However, messages sent by the person who is blocked will not be delivered until they are unblocked.
In addition, depending on the messaging platform, messages sent before the sender was blocked may still be stored in the recipient’s blocked messages folder and will only be delivered if the sender is unblocked.
Generally, the recipient will not be notified if they receive a previously blocked message once the sender is unblocked, but they may be able to access the message after unblocking the sender. It is important to note that while the message may be successfully delivered after the sender is unblocked, it will not appear in the recipient’s inbox until they check their blocked messages folder.
Can you see if a blocked number has tried to contact you?
Yes, you can see if a blocked number has tried to contact you. Depending on the phone you use, there may be different methods to view blocked calls.
For example, if you are using an Android device, the blocked calls will be listed in the call log but they won’t be identified by name. You’ll need to open the log and look at the details of each incoming call to differentiate between blocked and non-blocked numbers.
If you are using an iPhone, blocked calls will appear in the recent list with “unknown” as the caller. If you select the button for “Details”, it will show the source as “blocked”.
Furthermore, some services such as apps, voicemail and caller ID may also help you identify blocked numbers. If you have enabled call forwarding, you may also be able to see the blocked calls on the forwarded number.
No matter the phone you use, blocked numbers can still leave voicemails, so if you’re getting anonymous messages, this might also be a way to find out if a blocked number has tried to contact you.
How do you tell if your texts are blocked?
The first, most obvious sign is that they’re not replying. Generally, when someone messages you and you have received the message, they will reply in some way. If their replies suddenly stop, this could be a sign that you’re blocked.
Another way to tell is if you’ve sent the same message multiple times and each time it says “delivered” but there is no response. In the case of messages sent on Apple devices, if a notification of a successful delivery appears and their ‘fire’ display remains gray, this means their device has blocked your text messages.
You can also tell if you’re blocked if you can still see the person’s profile picture, status, and last seen but they have not responded to any of your messages. As long as the profile picture isn’t greyed out, chances are you’re being blocked.
Finally, if you’re still unsure, you can try calling them or sending them a message on social media or another platform. If you still don’t get a response and you know the person is likely online due to their other activity, this is a sure sign you’re blocked.
What color are texts if blocked?
Texts that are blocked will appear gray or grayed out. Depending on the messaging platform, the block may also appear with a single line strikethrough. Blocked texts can appear on any platform, including phone messaging apps, emails, and even social media messaging.
Whenever someone has been blocked, the sender may see a “message not delivered” notification. If a person has been blocked, their message cannot be seen or opened by the recipient, as if it wasn’t sent at all.
Can someone read a message after you block them?
No, once you block someone on a messaging platform, they will no longer have the ability to read your messages. Blocking someone is a definitive way to prevent them from seeing your messages, and their messages will not appear to you either.
When you block someone, the platform will no longer deliver their messages to you in any way, including via read receipts. This ensures that you will not be able to know if they have sent any messages and they will not be able to know if you have read any of their messages.
This provides a strong boundary between you and the blocked user.
When you block someone can they still see old messages?
When you block someone on any form of social media or messaging platform, they will not be able to see any new messages that were sent after the block was put in place. However, they will be able to see any old messages that were sent prior to being blocked.
This means that if something was said or posted before the block, the person you blocked will still be able to see it. For example, if someone sends you a message, you block them, and then they look for it afterward, the message will still appear in their chat history.
Can you send a text to someone you blocked?
No, you cannot send a text to someone you have blocked. When you block someone you are preventing all incoming and outgoing communication from them. This means that any calls, text messages, emails, and even FaceTime calls will be blocked from the person you chose to block.
Blocking is an effective tool to use if you do not want someone to contact you or if you are in a hostile environment and need to protect yourself from further harassment.
How do I see blocked messages on iPhone?
There are two ways to view blocked messages on your iPhone. The first is to manually check your blocked contacts list to see if any messages have been received from those contacts. To do this, go to Settings > Messages > Blocked and review your contacts.
If you find that a contact has sent you a message, you can tap on the contact’s name to go to their conversation page and see their messages.
The second way to see blocked messages on your iPhone is to use a third-party app or service. These apps typically require a one-time fee to sign up, but then you can access your blocked messages from within the app.
These apps can be personalized with features such as notifications and message filtering, making them a great option if you’re looking to review your blocked messages on a regular basis.
Where do blocked texts go?
Blocked texts will typically go to an automated folder or a separate inbox. Depending on the type of phone you are using and your text messaging app, a blocked text will either be automatically rejected and not appear anywhere on your phone, or it will be routed to a separate folder or inbox, therefore being hidden from view in your main inbox.
Also, depending on your device, the blocked text sender may still be able to see that their message has been delivered, though you may not be able to read it.
