168 views

If someone has restricted you on Messenger, you won't receive any notification of the change. However, signs include not being able to see the person's active status or when they were last active. Additionally, you might still be able to send messages, but they will not appear as 'delivered,' and there’ll be no response from the other side. Unfortunately, without direct communication from the person, there’s no definitive way to confirm if you’ve been restricted.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Can you message someone if they have restricted you on Messenger? Yes, you can still send messages, but they won't be marked as delivered, and the person restricted will not receive notifications.
  2. Will Messenger notify me if someone restricts me? No, Messenger does not send any notification if someone restricts you; you can only notice subtle changes like their active status being hidden.
  3. What is the difference between restricting and blocking on Messenger? Restricting limits what the person can see and how they interact with you without outright blocking, whereas blocking cuts off all communication entirely.
