When someone blocks you on Messenger, the app doesn't send you a direct notification for privacy reasons. However, there are indirect signs: You can't find their profile, send messages, or see their last online status. Your messages will remain in a sent state, but never show as delivered or read. The conversation thread won't disappear, but it becomes impossible to interact further. Remember, similar symptoms might occur if the user deletes their account, so it's not an absolute indication of being blocked.
