Determining if someone blocked you can be subtle, but look for these signs: messages or calls not getting through, and their profile appearing different or inaccessible to you. Additionally, if you can no longer see their last seen or online status in chat where you previously could, it's a strong indication. However, remember these could also result from privacy settings changes or account deactivation. There's no direct way to confirm a block without asking the person directly.
