Does it still say delivered if blocked?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

I can provide a detailed answer to your question: Does it still say delivered if blocked?

When you send a message to someone on a messaging platform, such as WhatsApp or iMessage, you usually expect to see a delivery status or a read receipt to indicate that your message has been successfully delivered to the recipient. However, if you have been blocked by the person you are trying to message, you will not see any delivery status or read receipt at all.

One way to determine if you have been blocked is by observing the absence of any delivery status below your message. Normally, when you send a message, it will appear in a blue bubble, indicating that it has been sent. Below the message, you would typically see a delivery status, such as “Delivered” or “Not Delivered.”

However, if you have been blocked, the message you sent will still be displayed in a blue bubble, but there will be no delivery status below it. This lack of a delivery status is a red flag that suggests you may have been blocked by the recipient.

It’s important to note that this absence of a delivery status can also occur for reasons other than being blocked. Network issues or the recipient’s device being turned off can also cause a message not to be delivered, and in such cases, you would usually see a “Not Delivered” status. However, if you consistently see no delivery status for multiple messages sent to the same person over a period of time, it is more likely that you have been blocked.

It’s worth mentioning that different messaging platforms may have slightly different behaviors when it comes to blocked contacts. For example, on WhatsApp, if you have been blocked by someone, you won’t see any updates to their profile picture, last seen status, or online status. On iMessage, the lack of delivery status is a strong indicator of being blocked.

If you don’t see any delivery status or read receipt below your message, even after a considerable amount of time has passed, it is highly likely that you have been blocked by the recipient. However, it’s important to note that this is not a foolproof method, as there can be other reasons for the absence of a delivery status.
