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.
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.
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.
However, the person you've been blocked by will never receive that message. Note that you don't get a 'Delivered' notification like you usually would, but this in itself is not proof that you've been blocked. They could simply not have any signal, or an active internet connection, at the time you sent the message.
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.
Not really. Firstly, because they will hear pre-recorded messages when they call you, and their messages are also shown as sent. Secondly, the contact will not be notified or sent a message that you have blocked them. However, after a few attempts, they may be able to guess that something is fishy.
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.

It blocks both text messaging as well as calling, so the person who is doing the blocking will be able to rid themselves of unwanted contact entirely. Generally, the blocked person won't have any idea that they are blocked, other than their messages aren't going through and aren't responded to.
Messages from a block number are sent to the Block SMS folder instead of the inbox. To get access to this folder, follow the steps given below. Open the Message app. Tap the three dots on your device's top right corner.
You can also try to check if your number has been blocked by sending the person a message. If the iMessage never shows a “Delivered” or “Read” message, and it's still blue, then you may have been blocked – but not always.
To check if you're blocked, try calling the person you suspect has blocked you. If the call goes straight to voicemail every time, it's possible that you've been blocked.
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.
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.
If you call someone that hasn't blocked your number, you typically hear several rings before it goes to voicemail. 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.
They block you because they want you to feel unstable and crazy. They want you to reflect on what you did to make the blocking happen, even if you had nothing to do with the decision. This is part of the devaluation stage of narcissistic abuse. The narcissist wants to make you feel less of a person.
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.
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 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 have been blocked on an iPhone, a few things can give you some hints. You can send an iMessage or SMS — if they are not delivered, you may be blocked. Or if you phone them and go straight to voicemail, that is usually a sign of being blocked too.
