iMessage chat wallpaper disappeared and shows "Text Message - RCS” - am I blocked?

hi all :) I recently went no contact with someone who I had an iMessage wallpaper with in our chat. out of curiosity, I checked our chat just now just over a month after we spoke and now the text message box says “Text Message - RCS” and our wallpaper has disappeared. does that mean I am blocked or could there be another explanation? thanks!

There is no way to know if you’ve been blocked other than by asking the other party.

not even with the wallpaper disappearing?? it’s not the first time my messages have shown RCS with them but it is the first without seeing the wallpaper.
