Messenger does not explicitly notify you when someone blocks you. Instead, you will no longer be able to see their online status or send them messages. Messages sent to a user who has blocked you will not be delivered; the sent message will not show a delivered or seen receipt. Additionally, their profile picture, updates, and any form of direct communication through Messenger become restricted, effectively making it impossible to interact with them through the app.
