It can be difficult to tell if someone on an Android device has blocked you. This is the case whether you’re blocking people on iPhones or Android devices. ..
Some people might tell you that they have blocked your number on Android if they notice that you haven’t been calling them back or sending them messages. Here’s more about it.
#1: Send SMSes
However, if you send an SMS message over the internet, it may not get delivered depending on the recipient’s location. ..
Some OEMs have a delivery report feature that you receive a pingback that the said message has been delivered.
This is a problem because people who use smartphones for communication don’t want to receive a “Delivered” message instead of a pingback.
The catch is, even if your phone is blocked, you can still send a text to someone. However, the text will never reach the recipient or it will be in their “Blocked Messages” section.
If you keep on sending a few texts and never hear back, there’s a high probability that your number is blocked and the recipient never received any text.
This is a tell-tale sign but not 100% accurate because it’s possible that the recipient never received any text due to network issues or maybe the texts accumulated in the spam section automatically and thus, the recipient wasn’t able to intercept it. ..
#2: Call them (with no voicemail)
Android calls are more likely to be successful in deciphering if someone has blocked your number than SMSes. ..
When you can someone, even though the recipient hears a traditional ringtone set by him/her, the sound is actually the tring tring of a song.
When you can call someone, it rings about a dozen times before disconnecting either directly or with a voice note that the call is going away or not picking up the call. If the recipient is busy, your call will connect but won’t ring and you will get a voice notification that the call is busy.
If the recipient has blocked your number, the call will ring once and you will get a voice notification that the caller is busy. This is your cue that the recipient has blocked your contact.
#3: Calling with voicemail activated
If you receive a voicemail from someone you don’t know, it’s a good idea to check the voicemail box and see if anyone has blocked your number.
If the phone rings for a while and goes to voicemail, the recipient is likely not near his/her phone.
If the phone goes to voicemail straight away, the recipient is on call and thus, you were sent to voicemail right away.
If you get a call from someone you don’t want to answer, it’s likely that they have blocked you.
#4: Check on WhatsApp
WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world with over 2 billion active users. If someone has blocked your number, they likely have blocked you on WhatsApp.
If you have a message from your contact on WhatsApp, and it gives you a tick on the right of a timestamp, it means the message has been sent. The next thing to do is wait.
If you have an iPhone, when you turn on internet access on your phone, a message will be delivered to you automatically. You can check the “Tick” on the right of the message timestamp, if it’s two grey ticks, the message was delivered. ..
If the recipient chooses to ignore the message, the ticks will remain greyed out. If messages are seen and ignored, the ticks will turn blue (which means you’re not blocked yet).
WhatsApp is a messaging app that allows you to communicate with your friends and family. If someone blocks you, it means they are not happy with what you are saying or doing. This can be a sign that they don’t like who you are as a person or might not be comfortable with your communication style.
