Let’s be honest; getting blocked is very annoying. One minute, you’re chatting, scrolling through their page, and the next, silence. No replies. No profile picture. Nothing. You start asking yourself if they blocked you or maybe they’re just ignoring you.
The good news is that you don’t have to think too much about it because there are simple ways to find out if someone blocked you without making it too awkward. Whether it’s on WhatsApp, Instagram, iMessage, or even a regular phone call, here’s exactly how to check.
-
How to Know if Someone Blocked You on WhatsApp
- If their profile picture is not showing and you also can’t see their status updates, it might mean they’ve blocked you.
- If your messages stay on one tick forever, then you’ve definitely been blocked.
- If you call them on WhatsApp and it doesn’t connect, then you’ve most likely been blocked.
If you want to be very sure, add them to a group chat. If they really blocked you, you won’t be able to add them.
2. How to Know if Someone Blocked You on Instagram
Instagram blocks are very sneaky but don’t worry, you can still find out.
- If you search for their username and it doesn’t show up, but other people can still see their profile, that’s a BIG sign.
- If they used to comment under your posts and all of a sudden they’re all gone, then there’s a big chance they blocked you.
- If you’ve already had a chat with them, go back and check your dms. If the messages are still there but you can’t send new ones, you’ve been blocked.
And if you want to be a 100% sure, try viewing their profile from another account. If they appear there but not on yours, you know the answer.
3. How to Know If Someone Blocked You on iMessage
If you have an iPhone, detecting a block is pretty easy.
- On iMessage, messages between iphones appear in blue. If someone blocks you, your messages will turn green like regular SMS and won’t say delivered.
- If you call them and it rings once and goes straight to voicemail, that’s a big sign that you’re blocked.
And if you want to be 100% sure, call them from another number. If it rings normally then you’ve been blocked.
4. How to Know If Someone Blocked You on Facebook
- If you search their name and they don’t show up, but their account still exists when you check from another profile, you’re definitely blocked.
- If you’ve chatted before and it is showing “this person is unavailable on Messenger,” you’re blocked.
If you ask a mutual friend and they can still see the profile, then you already know what has happened.
5. How to Know If Someone Blocked You on Regular Call & SMS
- If you call and it rings once and ends or goes straight to voicemail, you are definitely blocked.
- If your messages are never delivered or sent, then that means you are blocked.
If you want to check, call from another number, and if it rings normally, you’re blocked.
If you’ve been blocked, take a deep breath. It’s not the end of the world.
