Blocked text messages disappear When someone that you've
When someone you've blocked tries to text you, you will not receive text messages from them. The blocked person also does not receive any notification that they're blocked. However, many iPhone users may be able to deduce that you've blocked them. This is because of the iMessage text “status” feature on iPhones.
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.
The blocked party won't get a notification that they've been blocked, but if they call your landline they may hear a busy signal, or a message that their call couldn't go through or that the number is busy.
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.
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.
Count the rings before voicemail
It's a normal call when you call a person and hear the usual number of rings before getting voicemail. But if the person has blocked you, here's the big indicator. You only hear a single ring before being diverted to voicemail.
Blocking Someone on Android Messages and Apple iMessage
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.
How long do numbers stay blocked on Android? There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the individual phone and carrier. However, most numbers are typically blocked for a period of 30 days.
Will I receive old texts sent while they were 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.
However, they will be unaware their calls and texts are being blocked; instead they will simply see that their message 'has not been delivered'. The only way for them to know they have been blocked is if they use a third-party app to check if your number is being blocked.
The correct answer is that no, you shouldn't – if you've blocked the number properly. When you block a number, the Android phone should send them straight to voicemail – this is the best way to tell if someone has blocked you on an Android device. And, you'll no longer see this number in your missed call log.
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.
Send them an iMessage
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."
If the other person switched to an Android phone, their bubble may have turned green (plus, they may have a new number). That means you may have to find it more directly if the other person switched from iOS to Android. If you were blocked, those green text bubbles mean the message was not received.
If you see green bubbles, this means that your text messages are being sent through SMS, and they might have blocked you on iMessage. For example, if you send me a message and I receive it with a green bubble, this means that the message was sent through SMS rather than iMessage.
Blocking a contact would not affect you sending them messages. It just stops them from approaching you through their messages or calls.
Android phone users can read the blocked messages before they are deleted permanently. After blocking, the sender cannot send text messages or make calls to you. So to see the blocked messages, you only need to open the blocked list and all messages and calls that are blocked will be visible.
Yes, it is possible to delete blocked numbers. When you delete a contact, it won't appear in the contact list as well. Deleting blocked numbers means you are unblocking the blocked numbers. Therefore, after deleting blocked numbers, the numbers can call on your number as well as send you messages.
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.
In many cases, blocking someone who disagrees with you starts a fire when there was nothing there to begin with--except for your own angry feelings. Blocking isn't just a mental health break. Use the option after lecturing someone and giving them no chance to respond and it's a manipulative move.
' Taking self-validating action makes us feel in control. We all have the desire for control in our lives, and the act of blocking gives us the ability to take control over the people we are exposed to.
Some people said that it's perfectly reasonable to block someone if they are being disrespectful or 'creepy' during your encounters and this doesn't make you a bad person, while others said they had been on the receiving end of being blocked and thought it to be rude.
