(121,376 posts)if they also have an iPhone they may be able to deduce that youve blocked them. This is because of the iMessage text status feature on iPhones. When two iMessage users text one another, the message status bar says Delivered when the message arrives and the conversation bubbles are blue. When someone youve blocked texts you, they will not see any delivery status for their text and their message bubble will turn green.

Except the blocking happens at the level of your device. So the person who was blocked won't know they're blocked when they try to call you.Jul 25, 2024
