130 views

When someone blocks you on Messenger, you will not receive a direct notification indicating the block. However, there are indirect signs you might notice. These include being unable to send messages to the person (they won't deliver), the 'Message' button being greyed out on their profile, and if previously visible, their profile picture, status updates, and last online status might no longer be visible to you. However, these signs can also be indicative of other privacy settings changes, so they aren't conclusiveproof on their own.
