If you suspect your texts are blocked, some signs to look for include messages not delivering (no 'Delivered' or 'Read' receipts), your calls going straight to voicemail, or being unable to add the person to group texts. Additionally, if you can still see the person’s profile picture and status updates in messaging apps but receive no responses, you might be blocked.
