How to find out if someone blocked you on Telegram

When someone blocks you on Telegram, there are several signs, in this section we will briefly explain some methods to help you know if you are blocked on Telegram.

📮You can't see their online status and last visit: If someone has blocked you on Telegram, you can't see their activity status. Even if they use Telegram or have been online recently, Telegram will show you the message "Last Seen a Long Time Ago".

📮You can’t see their profile picture: if someone blocks you in Telegram, you will not be able to see that person's profile picture and it will be replaced with the contact's initials.

📮You can't send them messages: When someone blocks you on Telegram, you can't send them messages. It means that every message you type and send will not be delivered and you will not receive any notifications about unread messages.

📮You can't call them: If you are blocked on Telegram, you can't make a Telegram voice call or video call with that account. Telegram will show the message "Call Failed". Any attempts to call them will be unsuccessful and they will not receive any notification that calls have been missed.

📮You can't invite them to groups or channels: When someone blocks you on Telegram, you can't add them to groups or channels. For inviting to groups, Telegram may ask you to send them an invite to join the group - which you can't send if they've blocked you.

How to send messages to someone that blocked you on Telegram

When someone blocks you on Telegram, it's like they have created a big wall between you and themselves on this messenger. Any message you send them disappears and they will never receive it!

And to be clear, you won't get any notifications telling you that your messages have not been delivered. So, it might seem like they're just ignoring you, but in reality, they can't see what you've sent.

Remember that blocking only affects your communication through Telegram. If you have other ways to talk to that person, such as using a phone call, texting, or another messaging app, your messages may still reach them. This block only applies to Telegram, not all ways to contact them.

Also you can delete your Telegram account and create a new account to be able to text the person that has blocked you.
