6 Signs Someone Blocked Your Number on iPhone

When you block a number on your iPhone, you won’t receive calls or messages from that contact. They can still leave voicemails, but you won’t get notifications. You can unblock contacts in your phone settings. Third-party apps can offer additional blocking features.

Calls go to voicemail.
Messages remain undelivered or stay blue.
Profile info disappears in iMessage.
No response on social media.
Can’t create group chats in iMessage.
Optionally, use third-party apps for further confirmation.

1) Check iMessage Read Receipts

To check iMessage read receipts:

Open the Messages app on your iPhone.
Tap on the conversation containing the message you want to check.
If the message has been read, you’ll see “Read” below it along with the time it was read.
If you don’t see “Read” or the time, it means the message hasn’t been read yet or the recipient has disabled read receipts.
Note that read receipts can be turned off in Settings > Messages > Send Read Receipts.

2) Look for Green SMS Delivered Status

To check if a text message (SMS) has been delivered on an iPhone:

Open the Messages app.
Find the conversation containing the message you sent.
Look for a green bubble next to your message, indicating it was sent as an SMS.
If the bubble has a small checkmark inside, it means the message was successfully delivered to the recipient’s device.

3) Check For Missed Call Notifications

To check for missed call notifications on your iPhone:

Look for a red badge on the Phone app icon on your home screen.
Alternatively, you can check the “Recents” tab within the Phone app for a list of missed calls.
Missed calls may also appear on your lock screen or in the Notification Center if you have notifications enabled for the Phone app.

Will text message say “Delivered” if blocked on iPhone?

No, if you’ve been blocked on an iPhone, your text message won’t show as “Delivered” to the sender. Instead, it may remain as “Sent” but won’t change to “Delivered.” This is because the recipient’s device doesn’t acknowledge receipt of the message when you’re blocked.
