To determine if you are blocked or ignored on Messenger, look for specific signs. If you're blocked, you won't be able to see the person's profile, send messages, or find them on Messenger. Your existing messages will remain but you cannot interact further. If ignored, your messages will stay sent (not delivered) and you won't receive any read confirmations, but you can still view their profile and send messages. The distinction is subtle but key: blocking removes access and interaction capabilities, while ignoring impacts message delivery status without removing your ability to send messages.
