Understanding whether you’ve been blocked on Telegram can be tricky. Telegram doesn’t directly notify users when they’re blocked, so you need to rely on a few clues. Here’s how to tell if you are blocked on Telegram.
Signs You Might Be Blocked
1. No Updates on Profile Picture or Status
One of the first signs you might notice is a lack of updates to the contact’s profile picture or status. If you used to see frequent updates and now they’ve stopped, it might be because you’ve been blocked. However, this could also be due to the user adjusting their privacy settings or simply not updating their profile.
2. Messages Not Delivered
When you send a message to someone who has blocked you, you’ll only see one check mark (which indicates the message was sent but not delivered). Normally, two check marks indicate that the message has been delivered. This is a strong indicator that you might have been blocked.
3. Inability to See Last Seen or Online Status
Typically, when someone blocks you on Telegram, you’ll notice that you can no longer see their “last seen” status, profile picture, or online status. If you can no longer see a contact’s “Last Seen” or “Online” status, it could be a sign that you’ve been blocked. However, it’s also possible that the user has adjusted their privacy settings to hide this information from everyone or only from non-contacts.
4. No Profile Information
Being blocked means you won’t have access to the contact’s profile information or any changes they make to it. If their profile information has disappeared or seems incomplete, it might be worth considering that you’ve been blocked.
5. Unable to Add to Groups
If you attempt to add a contact to a group and you receive a notification that you cannot add them, it may be because they’ve blocked you. Telegram does not allow blocked users to be added to groups.
6. Calls Won’t Go Through
If you try making a voice or video call to a contact who has blocked you, the call will not go through. You will receive a message saying that the call couldn’t be completed.
What to Do If You Think You’re Blocked
If you believe you’ve been blocked and want to confirm or resolve the situation, consider reaching out through another Telegram account or contacting them via other methods.
