When you block a phone number or contact, they can still leave a voicemail, but you won't get a notification. Messages that are sent or received won't be delivered. Also, the contact won't get a notification that the call or message was blocked.
once you have blocked someone you can not call or text them and you can not receive any messages or calls from them either. you will have to unblock them to contact them. once you have blocked someone you can not call or text them and you can not receive any messages or calls from them either.
Blocked text messages disappear
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.
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.
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.
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.
After you block someone, your messaging threads with them will remain in your Direct inbox, but you won't be able to message them. If you're in a group message with someone you've blocked, you'll get a dialog asking whether you want to stay in the group or leave.
After blocking someone on Android, you can retrieve their blocked texts. Some Android phones have a specific folder to save these blocked messages, or you can use Android Data Recovery tool to recover those texts if you deleted them accidentally.
Your old messages remain blue, but the latest texts you send after they've blocked you turn green. However, the bubble colors aren't accurate clues. They could mean the recipient turned off their phone, gone offline, or switched from iOS to Android.
If you make a call and receive an automated message along the lines of “the customer is unavailable,” that person's wireless carrier may have blocked you. The messages can vary, but the result is the same. Your call won't go through.
No, blocking does not delete messages.
You won't be able to view those saved messages after blocking them, since they'll be removed from your chat and friends list.
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. Which variation of this they hear will depend on the carrier.
A green bubble simply means you are sending her a message through cellular SMS communications. It does not mean you're blocked. It's on for iMessage.
So the person who was blocked won't know they're blocked when they try to call you. On their end, they'll hear the phone ring a few times. Then, their call will go straight to voicemail. Here is the one big catch with blocking someone on iPhone.
If you've been blocked, the recipient will not receive a notification and won't be able to respond. If you don't receive a returned call or text message within a few days, there's a good chance you may be blocked.
If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this: The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device. iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient's device.
If your iPhone messages are green, it means they're being sent as SMS texts rather than iMessages. You'll always see green when texting Android users, or when you're not connected to the internet.
Check the Bubble Color
If you don't see a blue bubble on your end, then it's likely that they've blocked you on iMessage. It's important to note that this doesn't mean they have blocked your number altogether; it just means they have blocked you from sending them messages over iMessage.
Which is better for you? Most iPhone users will want to use iMessages, so long as they have a good plan that can handle the data usage. The only reason to use SMS instead of iMessage is if you're chatting with people who don't have Apple devices, or if you don't have any data on your phone.
SMS is available on virtually every phone and tablet in the world. iMessage on the other hand is available only on Apple devices. But one of the major differences and in fact, the most important is security. iMessage texts contain a thing called end-to-end encryption that regular SMS texts don't.
If you are using Apple's iMessage technology, your text messages will be sent or received in blue. If you are using Short Messaging Service or SMS (traditional way), your text messages will be in green. In the iPhone message app, the outgoing message bubble is either green or blue.
