5 signs to check

  1. No Delivered under your last message. Earlier messages said Delivered, new ones say nothing.
  2. Calls go straight to voicemail. One ring or none, every time, for days.
  3. FaceTime never connects.
  4. No Focus status. If they had Focus on, you would often see a notice that notifications are silenced.
  5. Nothing changes for days. A dead or lost phone usually comes back online soon.

Frequently asked questions

If I am blocked, do they still get my texts later?

No. Messages sent while you are blocked are never delivered, even if they unblock you later.

Does a green bubble mean I am blocked?

Not by itself. It also happens when their iPhone is off, has no data, or they switched to Android.
