Suspecting that someone has blocked us on their mobile phone can cause discomfort and raise questions about the relationship with that person. Although it's not always easy to determine the reason behind this decision, there are some tricks that can help verify whether we have actually been blocked. It is important to remember that signals indicating a possible block may be due to technical problems or privacy settings, and by themselves they do not confirm the fact.
To detect a possible blockage, several tests can be performed. For example, when making a call, if the ringtone ends after a single ring and it goes to voicemail, it's likely that the number has been blocked. Another sign is sending an SMS that does not show delivery confirmation, and in messaging apps like WhatsApp, a single check mark when sending a message could indicate that the other person has blocked us. Additionally, on WhatsApp, the absence of a profile picture, not seeing their last seen time, and the restriction on adding the contact to groups are clearer evidence that we may have been blocked. It can also be checked by calling from another number, which provides a clearer view of the situation.
