After you block someone, their likes and comments will be removed from your photos and videos. Unblocking someone won't restore their previous likes and comments. People that you block can still see your likes and comments on posts that were shared by public accounts or accounts they follow.
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.
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.
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 only way to see a call history from a blocked number is to unblock the number. They will be added to your regular call list, and you will be able to see any missed calls you receive from the number. However, they will be able to contact you again. Consider if it's worth your privacy.
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.
For Android, go to Settings > Call Settings > Additional Settings > Caller ID. Then, select Hide Number. Your calls will remain anonymous and you can bypass the blocked list.
once you have blocked someone you can not call or text them and you can not receive any messages or calls from them either.
Yep. Yep. Contact your carrier to see what options they have for call blocking. Hi, I was having the same issue, I have many numbers blocked but when then choose to hide their number the Phone would ring.
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 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.
Once blocked, the caller can't leave any kind of message on your iPhone, whether it's an iMessage or SMS. That means you can't see any messages that have already been blocked, but you can unblock that person and start receiving messages again in the future, with just a few clicks.
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 something is writing hateful messages to you, then you should block them. You do not have to listen to their criticisms or opinions. They are not entitled to a response from you, or even a view. You have the right to remove these from your space, and you really should.
If you're blocked by someone, your calls will go straight to voicemail, and your voicemail messages will head to the 'blocked' section immediately. The other person won't receive your calls, won't be notified you called, and won't see a badge for your voicemail.
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.
Usually, when a person blocks you, they don't want to speak or interact with you. While this is the typical implication of getting blocked, he might have used the block button to get your attention. Sometimes, getting suddenly blocked could be a desperate move for him.

It is possible that they are not calling from a real number. If they are disguising their identity by falsifying the caller ID information, this is called caller ID spoofing. Read this Apple documentation to handle these types of calls. If nothing works, you should also contact your carrier.
After you unblocked it, did you restart the phone? You may need to completely remove their contact, power cycle the phone and then add the contact again after they try calling you.
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.
