How to Know if Someone Blocked You on iMessage
Sarah and I had been best friends since kindergarten. We shared everything, from our deepest secrets to our favorite songs. But one day, out of the blue, she stopped responding to my messages. I tried calling her, but her phone went straight to voicemail. I was worried sick. Had something happened to her? Or had she simply decided to cut me out of her life?
After a few days of fruitless attempts to contact her, I started to suspect that Sarah might have blocked me on iMessage. I had heard that this was a common way for people to end relationships, but I couldn’t believe that Sarah would do that to me. We had been through so much together. I couldn’t imagine our friendship ending like this.
Signs That Someone Has Blocked You on iMessage
There are a few key signs that can indicate that someone has blocked you on the iMessage app. These include:
- Your messages are not delivered. When you send a message to someone who has blocked you, it will never be delivered. You will not see a “Delivered” or “Read” receipt, and the message will remain in your “Sent” folder.
- You cannot call the person. If you try to call someone who has blocked you, your call will go straight to voicemail. You will not hear any ringing or busy signals.
- The person’s profile picture and status are no longer visible. When you are blocked by someone, their profile picture and status will no longer be visible to you. You will see a gray silhouette instead of their picture, and their status will simply say “Unavailable.”
- You are no longer in the person’s contact list. If you are blocked by someone, you will no longer be able to see them in your contact list. Their name and number will be removed, and you will not be able to add them back.
What to Do if Someone Blocks You on iMessage
If you think that someone has blocked you on iMessage, the best thing to do is to respect their decision. There may be a reason why they have chosen to end communication with you, and it is important to give them space. You can try reaching out to them in other ways, such as through email or social media, but be prepared for the possibility that they may not respond.
It is also important to remember that blocking someone on iMessage is not a permanent solution. If the person who blocked you changes their mind, they can unblock you at any time. In the meantime, you can use this time to reflect on your relationship with the person and consider what you could have done differently. If you are able to make amends, you may be able to rebuild your friendship in the future.
