How to Know if Someone Blocked Your Number on iPhone

No Ringing or Busy Tone

When you call someone and their phone doesn’t ring or you don’t hear a busy tone, it’s possible that they may have blocked your number. However, it’s also possible that they have their phone turned off, are in an area with no reception, or have set their phone to Do Not Disturb mode.

To confirm if you’ve been blocked, try calling the person from another number or ask someone else to call them. If the call goes through or they answer, then it’s likely that your number has been blocked. However, if the call still doesn’t go through, then it’s more likely that the person’s phone is turned off or in an area with no reception.

Straight to Voicemail

Another sign that you may have been blocked is if your calls are going straight to voicemail. Normally, if someone’s phone is turned off or they’re in an area with no reception, your call will still ring for a while before it goes to voicemail. However, if you’re being immediately sent to voicemail without your call ringing first, then it’s possible that the person has blocked your number.

To confirm this, try calling the person from another number. If the call goes through and rings normally, then it’s likely that your number has been blocked. If it goes straight to voicemail again, then it’s possible that the person’s phone is turned off or in an area with no reception.

Messages Not Delivered

If you’re trying to send text messages to someone and they’re not being delivered, it could be a sign that your number has been blocked. When you send a text message to someone who has blocked your number, the message will still appear to be sent on your end, but the recipient won’t receive it.

To confirm if your number has been blocked, try sending a text message to the person from another number or messaging app. If the message goes through and is received normally, then it’s likely that your number has been blocked. If the message still doesn’t go through, then it’s possible that the person’s phone is turned off or they’re in an area with no reception.

No Last Seen or Online Status

If you’re using messaging apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger to communicate with someone, and you notice that you’re not seeing their last seen or online status anymore, it could be an indication that your number has been blocked.

When someone blocks your number on these apps, you won’t be able to see their status or when they were last online. To confirm if your number has been blocked, try sending a message to the person from another number or messaging app. If the message goes through and is received normally, then it’s likely that your number has been blocked. If the message still doesn’t go through, then it’s possible that the person’s phone is turned off or they’re in an area with no reception.

No Profile Picture or Status Update

If you notice that someone’s profile picture or status update has disappeared on your messaging app, it could be another sign that your number has been blocked. When someone blocks your number, they may also remove you from their contacts list, which can result in your messages not being delivered and their profile picture and status update disappearing.

To confirm if your number has been blocked, try searching for the person in your messaging app’s contact list. If their profile is no longer visible, then it’s likely that they have blocked you. However, if their profile is still visible, it’s possible that they’ve simply changed their picture or status update.
