It's easy to communicate with people anywhere in the world. You don't have to wait for the mail delivery. Instead, you can send a text message. However, people can cut communication quickly by blocking a phone number from an unwanted sender. And this can happen without you knowing. While the best way of knowing if someone is avoiding you is by asking them directly, there are other ways to find out. Show
How to know if someone blocked your numberWhen someone blocks you, you don't receive a notification of the action. Still, there are a few key signs. For example, a phone call that goes straight to voicemail instead of ringing many times. You do not want to trust this, because the recipient may have their phone turned off or they're on another phone call. You can leave a voicemail, but the recipient does not receive notification of the message if you're blocked. Another example is when you receive an automated message that the recipient is unavailable. The odds are the recipient blocked you. Attempt text messagesiOS and Android phones work in different ways with their messaging services. iMessage makes it easier to know if someone blocked you. On Android, it depends on the recipient's phone and message type. How to tell if you're blocked on your iPhoneiMessage uses two notifications to let senders know when message delivery and reading occur. One notification says "delivered" and the second says "read." While not a surefire way of knowing, they are among the methods available. It's possible the recipient is out of signal range or has their phone off. Still, there are other ways to find out if someone has blocked your number on iMessage. How to tell if you're blocked on AndroidAndroid phones use a service that doesn't notify you of the delivery or reading of messages. Therefore, a text message is not an ideal way of determining if blocking has occurred. If you send a text and don't hear back, they may not be able to respond or do not care to respond. Similar to the iPhone, it's best to wait a few days to see if you get a response. If you still don't hear from the recipient, try a different method to determine if blocking occurred. Attempt calling on iPhone or AndroidCalling is an easier way to determine if someone blocked your number. First, call from your phone number. If the call goes to voicemail, listen to the message. If you receive a message that the number is unavailable, it generally means the recipient blocked you. If you don't, the recipient may not be in signal range or their phone is turned off. In this case, your next option is to call from a different phone number or use *67 to hide your number. If the call goes through on that number, blocking may have occurred. You don't need to talk to the person, but rather see if it rings more than once. Can you know for sure?There's no clear way to use your phone to determine if someone blocked you. You'll see signs, such as undelivered messages and straight-to-voicemail phone calls. The only way to ensure someone blocked you is to find out from the recipient. Either ask them yourself or talk to a mutual friend. The Do Not Disturb settings silence all calls and text messages unless the recipient has set a contact or application as an exception. This means the recipient still receives notifications of a call, but the notifications won't make a sound. The purpose of this setting is to allow people to get work done and only be disturbed by important notifications or calls. Android has a setting that allows calls to come through if the caller phones twice in less than 15 minutes. You can use this to determine if you are blocked, but only if you know the recipient has the Repeat callers setting turned on. Airplane mode on the phone also disables the recipient's Wi-Fi, data, cellular, and Bluetooth connections. This setting prevents them from receiving text messages or phone calls until they turn off the setting. It prevents people from emitting signals that interfere with piloting equipment. However, some use this to preserve battery life on their phones. Many people also use it while traveling to prevent roaming charges when they are outside their service areas. Call, text, or walk away?The short answer is that there is no definite way of determining if you've been blocked without talking directly to the person in question. Sure, there will be a few signs, namely silence from the person in question. Even if you purchase one of the best Android phones, you will remain blocked unless you change your number.

One great thing about iPhones is that they make it simple to block nuisance callers. If you keep getting those annoying automated calls asking if you’ve been in a recent accident, then you can hang up, go to the call log and block that caller – so long as they’re not withholding their number. But what if it happens in reverse? If you find that you can’t get through to a particular person after multiple attempts, is there a way to tell if they have blocked you on their iPhone? Similarly, if they don’t reply to your messages, is it because you’re blocked? Maybe they have Do Not Disturb enabled? Or are they simply busy and not had time to respond? Before we get to the tips, know this: it is tricky to know for sure if you have been blocked. But hopefully, you’ll be able to find out one way or another. The most likely scenario is that you’re being paranoid, and the other person just hasn’t got around to replying to your message or calling you back just yet. Give it a few hours and try again. But, if it’s not all in your mind, here are some signs that you might’ve been blocked on an iPhone. These are just tips though; if you need to be 100 percent sure, you’ll need to ask them in person. What happens to a blocked phone call? To test what happens to a blocked call, we blocked a number and monitored the experience on both phones. When calling from the blocked number, the caller hears either one ring, or no rings at all, but the other phone remains silent. The caller is then informed that the recipient isn’t available, and is diverted to voicemail (if that service is set up by the person you’re calling). There doesn’t seem to be a reason why the number of rings varies, but if you hear two or more, you can be pretty sure you haven’t been blocked. Note that you can leave a message if someone has blocked you, but the blocker will never be notified of the message. It does appear at the very bottom of their voicemail list in the Blocked Messenger section (if they’re on a carrier that supports visual voicemail such as O2 or EE), but most people probably won’t check there. What happens to a blocked text message?Texting someone who’s blocked you works as you would expect. The message sends as normal, and you don’t get an error message. This is no help at all for clues. If you have an iPhone and try to send an iMessage to someone who has blocked you, it will remain blue (which means it’s still an iMessage). However, the person you’ve been blocked by will never receive that message. Note that you don’t get a ‘Delivered’ notification like you usually would, but this in itself is not proof that you’ve been blocked. They could simply not have any signal, or an active internet connection, at the time you sent the message. What about Do Not Disturb/Focus modes?Apple’s Do Not Disturb tech, which has recently blossomed into multi-use Focus tech, essentially gives users complete control over incoming notifications, calls and messages, essentially dictating who and what they want to be notified about when a focus is active. If you’re at work, for example, you may choose to block all incoming texts, calls and notifications from all but work colleagues to help keep you distraction-free. That could be a reason why you’ve not been able to get through to your friend or family member. Apple does give users the ability to share their Do Not Disturb status via the Messages app, so you could take a look at the message thread to see if Do Not Disturb is enabled on the recipient’s phone, but status sharing isn’t enabled by default and, thus, not everyone will utilise it. If your calls and texts are being blocked via a Focus/Do Not Disturb mode, give it a few hours before you try to contact them again. OK, so have I been blocked or not?The call is the best source of evidence to determine whether or not you’ve been blocked by an iPhone user. The key is that you will always be diverted to voicemail after exactly one ring – if they were declining your call, the number of rings would vary each time, and if the phone was switched off, it wouldn’t ring at all. Also keep in mind that Do Not Disturb will also cut you off after exactly one ring, so don’t get too worried if your calls aren’t going through at 3am. There is a Do Not Disturb setting that allows the user to specify that repeated calls are allowed through so you could always try again right away – just make sure your call is urgent, or they may block you for real this time! Finally, we would like to repeat that this isn’t an exact science, so don’t make any angry scenes without knowing for sure. Also: chill out, relax, and try not to worry about it. If they’ve blocked your number, hey, who needs them? (If your problem is the opposite and you have an iPhone and want to stop an annoying caller ringing or texting you, here’s how to block a number.) David has loved the iPhone since covering the original 2007 launch; later his obsession expanded to include iPad and Apple Watch. He offers advice to owners (and prospective owners) of these devices. Can you check if someone blocked your number without calling?You usually won't be able to tell whether or not a contact has blocked you by sending a text message, so you'll need to call them.
Can you tell if someone blocked your texts?Try sending a text message
However, if a person has blocked you, you won't see either notification. Instead, there will just be a blank space beneath your text. It's worth noting that being blocked is not the only reason why you might not see a notification.
How can you tell if you've been blocked on iPhone?Contact the person via iMessage or FaceTime. If texts in the Messages app have a green bubble or you see a “Not Delivered” error message, that could indicate that the recipient has blocked you. If FaceTime (and cellular) calls drop or go to voicemail drop after one ring, you've likely been blocked.
