Here are the most important ways to know if you have been blocked:
1. Disappearance of “last seen” information:
If you are no longer able to see a contact’s “Last Seen” or “Online” status, this may be an indication of a ban, keeping in mind that the user may have disabled this feature in their privacy settings.
2. Not seeing profile picture updates:
If you’re blocked, you won’t see any updates to your contact’s profile picture, and will often see a gray default photo instead.
3. Only one “check” mark:
When you send a message to someone who has blocked you, one check mark will always appear (sent) and the second check mark will never appear (delivered), which means that the message did not reach his phone.
4. Call failure:
Any attempt to make a voice or video call through the app with the person who has blocked you will not go through, as the call will be dropped or the attempt will constantly fail.
5. “Group” test:
This method is considered the most accurate; If you try to add the contact to a “Group” and you receive a message stating that you are not authorized to add him, this is conclusive confirmation that he has blocked you.
