When you're blocked on Messenger, you won't be able to send messages to the person who blocked you. Any messages you try to send won't go through. You won't see their profile picture in chat, and you won't be able to call them. The chat thread with this person will still exist, but you'll notice that you can't interact with them in this app anymore. There won't be any direct notification telling you you're blocked, but these changes in functionality are key indicators.
