There is no foolproof way to know for certain whether someone has blocked you on an iPhone through iMessage or on other messaging platforms such as Telegram or WhatsApp.

Certain signs, such as messages not showing a Delivered status, calls not going through, or a person's profile picture or online status no longer being visible, may lead you to suspect that you have been blocked. However, these signs are not conclusive and can also result from privacy settings, network connectivity issues, a switched-off device, or changes to the person's account.

More often than you might think, your suspicion may be incorrect. Messaging platforms generally do not explicitly notify you when someone blocks you, precisely to protect the privacy of the person who chooses to block you.

Therefore, it is best not to jump to conclusions based on a single indicator or a combination of them. Unless the person confirms it, you cannot reliably determine whether you have been blocked simply by observing the behaviour of the messaging app.

That person just texted back. They have just been swamped with work and life. Thank you for the replies. I was overthinking things.

might i be blocked?

Yes, but there is no way to know for sure unless you contact the person that you are sending the messages to and ask them if they have blocked you.

Perhaps a better way to do this would be to call the person and tell them that you think that there may be a problem when you try to send them a message. Then, ask them if you can send a "test" message and have them check to see that they received the message.

Now, if you are leaving phone messages and never get a return call, that is probably an indication that they are blocking and ignoring you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
