Understanding the Signs That Someone Has Blocked You on iOS

Before we dive into the steps for checking if someone has blocked you on iOS, it is essential to understand the signs that indicate that someone has blocked your calls or messages. Here are some common indicators:

1. The person’s name appears grayed out in your contacts list: If you are unable to select a contact, their name may appear grayed out. This can be an indication that they have blocked your calls or messages.
2. No notification when someone sends you a message: If you are not receiving any notifications when someone sends you a message, it could mean that they have muted your messages or that they have blocked you.
3. No response when you call or text someone: If you call or text someone and they do not respond, there is a chance that they have blocked you on both calls and messages.
4. The person’s messages are automatically sent to the trash folder: If all of the person’s messages from you are automatically sent to your trash folder, it may indicate that they have blocked you on iOS.

How to Check if Someone Has Blocked You on iOS

Now that we have discussed the signs that someone has blocked you on iOS, let us explore how to determine whether or not this is the case. Here are the steps:

3. Open the Messages App: The first step in checking if someone has blocked you on iOS is to open the Messages app on your iPhone. You can do this by swiping up from the bottom of your screen and tapping on the Messages icon.
4. Open a Conversation with the Contact: Once the Messages app is open, select a conversation with the contact you want to check if they have blocked you. If you cannot see their messages, there is a chance that they have muted your messages or that they have blocked you on iOS.
5. Check for Signs of Blocking: If you are still unable to see the person’s messages, there are a few additional steps you can take to determine if they have blocked you on iOS. Here are some signs to look out for:

• <strong>The person's name appears grayed out in your contacts list</strong> : If you cannot see their messages, there is a chance that they have muted your messages or that they have blocked you on iOS.
• <strong>No notification when someone sends you a message</strong> : If you are not receiving any notifications when someone sends you a message, it could mean that they have muted your messages or that they have blocked you.
• <strong>No response when you call or text someone</strong> : If you call or text someone and they do not respond, there is a chance that they have blocked you on both calls and messages.
• <strong>The person's messages are automatically sent to the trash folder</strong> : If all of the person’s messages from you are automatically sent to your trash folder, it may indicate that they have blocked you on iOS.

Step 4: Check for Muting

5. Open a conversation with the contact.
6. Tap and hold on the person’s name at the top of the conversation.

6. Open a conversation with the contact.
7. Tap and hold on the person’s name at the top of the conversation.
8. Select "Info."
9. Look for the "Last Message Delivered" section.
