When someone that you've blocked texts you, their texts go nowhere. They won't receive any notification that they're blocked, and their messages will still look like they've been sent. But you won't receive any of them, and you can't respond.
When you block a contact over Android or iPhone, they will still be able to send you text messages. These messages will not show up on your phone but the sender will see the messages as sent.
WhatsApp messages sent by a blocked contact will not show up on your phone and will never be delivered to you. You will not be able to send messages to a blocked contact until you unblock them.
When you block someone on WhatsApp, you will stop receiving messages and calls from them. Even if they continue to send messages, they'll never show up on your phone.
If an Android user has blocked you, Lavelle says, “your text messages will go through as usual; they just won't be delivered to the Android user.” It's the same as an iPhone, but without the “delivered” notification (or lack thereof) to clue you in.
Android phones move all blocked messages into a folder on the phone called “Spam and Blocked.” That means that the phone is still collecting messages from the blocked people; they just aren't notifying you. This can be a lifesaver in needing those blocked messages for various reasons after the fact.
The psychology of blocking someone can have a harsh impact, with some individuals brushing it off while others become deeply aggrieved. This can lead to negative emotional reactions, ranging from sadness to anger and even depression. In extreme cases, it can cause a person to seek out and confront the blocker.
If someone using an Android device blocks your number, you can't contact them via SMS, cellular calls, or RCS messaging. When an iPhone user blocks your number, you can't reach the person via iMessage, FaceTime, cellular calls, and SMS messages.
Perhaps the most simple is the best one: use a different phone to call the person who blocked you. Phones can't block people as there's no way for them to know who is on the other end of the line. All they can do is block specific numbers.
If you're blocked, you would only hear a single ring before being diverted to voicemail. An unusual ring pattern doesn't necessarily mean your number is blocked. It may just mean the person is talking to someone else at the same time you're calling, has the phone off or sent the call directly to voicemail.
If the person you blocked sends you any messages in Direct, you won't receive those messages, and they won't be delivered later if you unblock them.
Android users may determine if someone has blocked their number by checking notifications. If the “sent” icon changes to “delivered,” the receiver is likely not blocked you. On the other hand, if it stays on “sent,” there's a good chance they have blocked your number.
If you send a message as a regular SMS in the green text bubble and you do not get a “Delivered” notification but instead get a notification similar to “Message not Delivered” or no message at all, that means you were probably blocked.
A red flag that you've been blocked is when you don't see the delivery status or the read receipt at all. The message you just sent will still be in a blue bubble, but it will have no delivery status below it – not even a "Not Delivered."
Their status appears as “unavailable” You cannot send them any messages, and if you try, you will get a message saying that the user is unavailable. If you try to call them you will hear that the number is busy or unavailable. If you search for them and get no results.
Perhaps the most simple is the best one: use a different phone to call the person who blocked you. Phones can't block people as there's no way for them to know who is on the other end of the line. All they can do is block specific numbers.
The psychology of blocking someone can evoke indignation and a sense of rejection, reminiscent of the social dynamics of high school. Blocking someone sends a clear message, but it's a cowardly move to run away and hide behind our devices.
If he blocked you for no reason, it could be because he has feelings for you, but he believes (for some reason) that both of you cannot be together. So, can you be blocked by a guy who truly loves you? The simple answer to this is “yes, you can.”
Blocking a contact would not affect you sending them messages. It just stops them from approaching you through their messages or calls.
When an ex has blocked you, you must go into full-fledged use of the no contact rule which means that you don't communicate with them in any way at all. No texts, messaging, or calling from another phone number or app.
He Will Feel Sad That You Blocked Him
It's not what you think. Yes, he will feel sad about losing you, and he will miss you. He might even reflect on some of his behaviors he knows were wrong. But all that sadness will be heavily overshadowed by his wounded pride and shattered ego.
Sometimes, people may block you because they need a break from social media. The constant barrage of information and notifications can be overwhelming, and some people may find that they need to step back from their online presence in order to focus on other aspects of their life.
Yes, it will hurt him to the very core to take in the fact that you blocked him. He may even feel a little vexed but it will never go to the extent of hopping mad. Even if it does, he knows it's his issue and he will deal with it in isolation.
