When a person is blocked on Messenger, they will not receive any notification of being blocked. However, they will no longer be able to send messages to the person who blocked them. Sent messages will not be delivered, indicated by the lack of a delivered message icon (a filled-in blue circle with a checkmark). Also, the blocked person will not be able to see the blocker's online status or any changes to their profile picture. Essentially, it will seem like the blocker has disappeared from Messenger for the blocked person.
