Blocked text messages do not go to your MacBook. When someone blocks you, it means that they have chosen to prevent any communication from reaching them, including text messages. As a result, any text messages you send to a person who has blocked you will not be delivered to their device, whether it’s an iPhone or another smartphone. This blocking feature is designed to provide individuals with the ability to control who can contact them.
In terms of viewing old text messages, if someone has blocked you, you will not be able to see any previous conversations you had with them on your MacBook or any other device. When a message is blocked, it simply disappears into the digital void and is not saved or stored on any device. This means that even if you were to unblock the person later, you would not have access to any of the messages that were sent during the blocking period.
Now, if you suspect that someone has blocked you on their iPhone, there is a way to check it on your MacBook. Apple’s ecosystem offers a feature called iMessage, which allows seamless communication across multiple devices, including iPhones and MacBooks. When you send an iMessage to someone who has blocked you, it typically shows a “Delivered” status, indicating that the message has been successfully delivered to Apple’s servers. However, it will not be delivered to the recipient’s device, and you will not receive any notifications about the block.
To check if someone has blocked you on iMessage using your MacBook, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Messages app on your MacBook.
2. Start a new conversation by clicking on the compose button.
3. Type in the name or phone number of the person you suspect has blocked you.
4. As you type, the auto-complete feature will suggest matching contacts. If the person you suspect has blocked you does not appear as a suggestion, it could indicate that they have blocked you.
5. Alternatively, you can try sending a message to the person. If the message remains stuck on the “Sending” status for an extended period without showing a “Delivered” status, it may suggest that you have been blocked.
It’s important to note that these methods are not foolproof, and there could be other reasons why a message does not get delivered or shows a delay. However, if you consistently experience these signs and have strong reasons to believe that you have been blocked, it might be the case.
Remember, though, that respecting others’ boundaries and privacy is crucial. If someone has chosen to block you, it’s essential to acknowledge their decision and refrain from further attempts to contact them.
