Can you see if a blocked number has texted you?

Answered by Robert Dupre

When it comes to determining whether a blocked number has texted you, the answer can vary depending on the type of device being used. Let’s start with iPhones. If you have an iPhone and someone has blocked your number, you will not receive any notification or indication that your message has been blocked. It will simply appear as though the message was sent successfully, but it will not be delivered to the recipient.

On the other hand, if you are using an Android device and someone has blocked your number, things work a bit differently. Unlike iPhones, Androids do not provide a “delivered” notification for text messages. So, whether or not a blocked contact has sent you a message, you won’t receive any specific indication. Your text messages will go through as usual, but they just won’t be delivered to the Android user who has blocked you.

It’s worth noting that this lack of notification can sometimes lead to confusion, as you may not be aware that your messages are not being received by the blocked user. This can be frustrating, especially if you’re expecting a response or if you’re unaware that you’ve been blocked in the first place. Unfortunately, there’s no way to know for sure if a blocked number has texted you unless the recipient chooses to unblock you or informs you directly.

In my personal experience, I’ve encountered situations where I’ve been blocked by someone on Android, and I had no way of knowing if they had sent me any messages. This lack of transparency can be quite frustrating, as it leaves you in the dark about whether or not your communication attempts are being received.

To summarize, if you’re using an iPhone and someone has blocked your number, you won’t receive any notification or indication that your message has been blocked. For Android users, your text messages will go through as usual, but they just won’t be delivered to the Android user who has blocked you. Unfortunately, there’s no way to see if a blocked number has texted you unless the recipient chooses to unblock you or informs you directly.
