We covered calls. But you may be wondering how to tell if someone blocked your number from texting. As it turns out, there are a few different signs you can look out for through text. The latter is self-explanatory. 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.
If a user has his or her phone on Do Not Disturb mode, you won't get any kind of notification until he or she turns that option off. However, if it's been a few days and you still don't see anything, you can consider blocking the most likely explanation. Some Android phones have this functionality; some don't.
Some message receipts work perfectly with iOS; some don't. If you've got an Android phone, your best bet is to just send a text and hope you get a response. Sometimes, the simplest solution really is the best one.
If you think you've been blocked, try calling the person's number from another phone. Use your work phone, borrow a friend's phone; it doesn't really matter. At least in terms of texts, calls, and FaceTime.
Blocking a number on an iPhone can't prevent the person from reaching out via third-party apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, or Instagram, but it will put up a wall between you in terms of the iPhone's primary methods of communication.
But what actually happens when you block a contact on your iPhone? What does the other person see or hear when they are blocked?
The answer in all cases is… not much. When you block a contact, their texts go nowhere. The person whose number you've blocked won't receive any sign that their message to you was blocked; their text will simply sit there looking as though it were sent and not yet delivered, but in fact, it will be lost to the ether. When someone tries to FaceTime a number they've been blocked by, the blocked FaceTimer's call will simply ring and ring without an answer because the person on the receiving end won't even know he or she is being contacted — until the blocked caller gives up.
When you block a number on your iPhone , the blocked caller will be sent straight to your voicemail — this is their only clue that they've been blocked, by the way. The person can still leave a voicemail, but it won't show up with your regular messages. Instead, you need to scroll down to the bottom of the voicemail window and tap the "Blocked Messages" tab.
