No, you cannot send a text message to someone you have blocked on iPhone. When you block a contact, their messages and calls are blocked for all of your devices associated with your Apple ID. This means that you will not be able to send any messages to that person, and the messages will not be delivered.
Even if you unblock the contact, the messages that you attempted to send while they were blocked will not be delivered.
Where do blocked messages go?
When messages are blocked on a messaging platform, they are not delivered to the recipient’s inbox and instead are diverted to a separate folder (commonly referred to as the “Junk” or “Spam” folder).
Depending on the platform and the specific messaging service, the messages may be stored for a certain period of time (sometimes up to 30 days) before being automatically deleted.
In most cases, blocked messages cannot be accessed or viewed by the recipient and will remain in the “Junk” or “Spam” folder where they will be automatically deleted after the designated time period.
If a user wishes to manually review, read, or delete a blocked message, they can do so by checking the “Junk” or “Spam” folder and manually deleting or moving the message to the desired folder.
Will blocked messages come through when unblocked?
Yes, blocked messages will come through when unblocked. This is true for both SMS and MMS messages. Generally, when an individual has blocked another person on their mobile device, the blocked person will not be able to send or receive any messages or calls from that individual.
However, when the person who originally blocked the other individual unblocks them, all the messages sent while they were blocked will come through. It is important, however, to note that unblocking someone on your device does not guarantee that they will be able to successfully send you new messages or calls.
In order to re-enable these features, the person who blocked must also manually accept all incoming calls from the blocked person and add them to their contact list once again.
How do you tell if you’re blocked on iMessage?
To determine if you are blocked on iMessage, you should first look at the last time the person sent you an iMessage. If it has been longer than the normal time frame of when they usually respond to you, that could be an indication that you have been blocked.
Additionally, if you are unable to ‘see a typing status’ while they are messaging you, that is another potential sign that you have been blocked.
You can also send a message directly to the person and if it shows as ‘not delivered’ on your end, then this is yet another indication that you may have been blocked. If more than one of the above scenarios applies and the person isn’t replying, then you can safely assume that you have been blocked.
What does a blocked caller hear?
When a caller is blocked, the call will usually go directly to voicemail without alerting them. Depending on the phone provider, the caller may hear a message indicating that the call has been blocked.
This message will usually be automated and will vary depending on the phone provider. Generally, a caller will hear something along the lines of, “This call cannot be completed as dialed. ” or “The number you have dialed is not in service.
” In some cases, the caller will hear that they have been blocked by the person they are calling, or the person’s phone service. Once blocked, the caller cannot leave a voicemail message or text the person they are attempting to call.
