Identifying who has blocked you on most platforms can be challenging due to privacy policies. However, there are indirect signs you can look for: Messages not being delivered, inability to find their profile using its direct link, or missing previous interactions in your chat history. Although these indicators can suggest you've been blocked, they're not definitive proof since the same signs can result from the person deactivating their account. Without explicit features or notifications from the platform, confirming a block requires careful observation of these indirect signs.
