35 views

Detecting if someone has blocked you on Facebook via Messenger can be quite discreet. However, there are indirect signs. You cannot call or send messages to the person, and your previous messages will only show the 'sent' status, not 'delivered' or 'read'. Profile details like their picture or name won't be clickable anymore. If these symptoms are consistent, it's plausible you've been blocked. Remember, privacy settings could also impact these features, so consider all possibilities before jumping to conclusions.
