Unfortunately, no. If a text message is blocked by the recipient's Android phone, the sender will not see a "delivered" status on the message. The best way to determine if your message was blocked is to try and have an open conversation with the recipient.
Any messages you send to a contact person who has blocked you will always show one check mark (a sign of a message sent) but never show the second checkmark (a sign of message delivered).
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.
One method you can use on any type of phone is by calling the person you suspect has blocked you. While typically you can expect to hear anywhere from three to 12 rings when you call someone before going to voicemail, a blocked number will only ring once and then go straight to voicemail, according to Tom'sGuide.com.
Yes. The meaning of “delivered” is similar in Android and iPhone devices. It indicates that the recipient's device successfully received the message, and is stored in their memory. However, this does not necessarily mean that the person has yet opened or read the message.
The recipient opted out of messages or blocked your number
Similarly, if a recipient blocks your phone number, your message won't be delivered. This is the likely explanation if you don't see a “Delivered” or “Read” message notification.
SENT means the message has been submitted to the cellular network for immediate delivery. DELIVERED means the message was delivered to the recipient's cell phone.
Simply put, after you block a number, that caller can no longer reach you. Phone calls do not ring through to your phone, and text messages are not received or stored.
When you send them an SMS and you get the "Delivered" notification underneath it, you weren't blocked. If you get a notification like "Message Not Delivered" or you get no notification at all, that's a sign of a potential block.
If a user has blocked you, any messages sent to that user will not be delivered and will not appear in the conversation thread. The best way to determine if a user has blocked you is to contact them directly and ask them about it. If they don't respond, then it could mean that they have indeed blocked your number.
Recipient has switched off their mobile
If you sent a text message when your recipient has switched off their mobile phone then the text message will not get delivered. Once you sent a text message to a switched-off mobile device, you don't have to resent the message.
DELIVERED = confirmation the message has reached the recipient's phone but fails to show if it has been "seen" yet. "Delivered" is a good sign. It means that the text is ready and waiting for them to open it.
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. They won't know that they've been blocked.
Blocked messages will not come through when unblocked.
While someone is blocked, any sent text messages will be blocked by Messages. You won't be able to retrieve them. If you decide to unblock the person, you will receive the texts normally.
Assuming you only see the word 'Delivered' in grey under the message you've sent, the recipient has turned their read receipts off.
Call your contact back with a masked number.
If the call goes through like usual--e.g., five or more rings--then your contact has blocked your number. If the call still stops after a ring or less and diverts to voicemail, your contact's phone is dead.
Look for the checkmarks: A single gray checkmark indicates a successfully sent message. The appearance of a second gray checkmark shows your message was delivered to the recipient's phone. The two checkmarks will turn blue if the recipient has viewed your message.
If your message was sent successfully, you'll see the words “Delivered” or “Read” (if they have Read Receipts on) below the last iMessage that you sent them. If you don't see these words, it means they either didn't get your message, don't have adequate service to receive messages, or might have blocked you.
It does NOT mean the recipient has opened it, merely that it was delivered. If you are sending to device on another carrier, you won't see "delivered" since it's another network, and Verizon can't see if it was successfully delivered to the device.
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.
Sent: The mobile device has sent the SMS to the SMSC (Short message service center). And the SMSC has confirmed it has received the SMS. Delivered: The mobile device has received a SMS-DELIVER (Delivery Notification). Although delivered is a relative term in the SMS world.
Delivered on an Android text typically means that the message has been sent successfully to the recipient's device. To make sure your messages are delivered, be sure you have a strong network connection and that all of the contact information is correct.
When you call a number that has blocked yours, you may hear one or half a ring or no rings at all and then the call will go to voicemail. If it goes straight to voicemail, their phone may also be off or out of range, or they may have temporarily turned on Do Not Disturb mode to work, drive, or sleep.
If the person does have caller identification, the incoming call will show up as “unknown,” “private number,” or “blocked,” allowing the call recipient to see that the number has been blocked or that it cannot be identified. Someone without caller ID cannot see that an incoming phone number has been blocked.
