If someone blocks you on Hangouts, you won’t be able to send messages, calls or video chats to that person. You also won’t be able to see their profile, including any of the photos they’ve shared. You also won’t show up in that person’s Contacts list, so they won’t be able to see when you’re online.
If you try to send them a message or call, you’ll see an error message saying the contact “isn’t receiving messages”. You may also get notifications that they’ve blocked you when you try to contact them or invite them to a group chat.
If the person has blocked you, you won’t be able to unblock them yourself. The only way to be unblocked is for the person who blocked you to unblock you.
Can we see last seen on Hangouts if blocked?
No, you can’t see someone’s last seen on Hangouts if they have blocked you. When someone blocks you on Hangouts, they stop all contact with you and you will not be able to see their last seen status or message them.
This applies to all Google Hangouts features, including message history, images, GIFs and emoji that you have shared with the user. They won’t be able to see when you are online, or when you have seen their messages, images and GIFs.
What do the symbols mean on Hangouts?
The symbols on Hangouts represent a few different indications of status. A green dot means that the person is online and available. A grey dot means that the person has recently been active, but is potentially offline.
A tiny phone symbol means that the person is currently on a call. A lightning bolt symbol means that the person is actively typing a message. An orange dot means that the person has recently used the Hangouts app, but is now inactive.
Lastly, a clock symbol means that the person’s status is unavailable and that the last time the person was active was over 24 hours ago.
How can you tell if someone is online on Hangouts?
If you are using Hangouts on your computer or laptop, you will be able to tell if someone is online by looking at the “circle” icon beside the contacts name on your list of contacts. If the circle is green, this indicates that person is online and available.
If the circle is absent, that means that particular person is not currently active on Hangouts.
If you are using the Hangouts app on your smartphone or tablet, you can also tell if someone is online. In the contacts list, green dots will appear next to contacts who are currently active. If there is no green dot beside the contacts name, this indicates the person is not currently online.
In addition, you can send a message via the Hangouts app and look to see if the specific contact is “typing” a response. If the typing indicator is present, this indicates that contact is online, and you will likely receive a response.
If a typing indicator is absent, this person may not be online, or may have not seen your message.
What does it mean when someone turned history off on Hangouts?
When someone turns “history off” on Hangouts, it means they have enabled the Conversation History feature, which prevents Hangouts from storing your conversations, video calls, messages, and video messages in Google servers.
When history is turned off, all records of communication with that person, or in that Hangout, will be removed. This can help to protect your privacy as it prevents anyone from accessing the records that were previously stored.
Additionally, turning history off may also help to conserve data usage as you will be able to start or join a Hangout without downloading and re-downloading your conversations.
How do I see who is online on Google Chat?
To view the people who are online on Google Chat, you have several options.
The first way is to check your contact list. When you open Google Chat, you will see a list of your contacts. Those who appear in bold type are available to chat with you.
The second option is to look for the green dots next to the names of people who are online. These green dots indicate that the particular person is available to chat with you.
You can also use the search bar in Google Chat to see who is currently online. Just type in the name of the person you want to chat with, and then click the magnifying glass icon. If the person is online, you’ll see their name with a green dot next to it in the search results.
Finally, you can check the last seen status of your contacts to see who is online. If a contact’s status says ‘last seen now’, it means they are online and available to chat with you.
Using any of these methods, you’ll be able to easily see who’s online on Google Chat.
What does the red dot mean in Google Chat?
The red dot in Google Chat is an indicator that someone has sent you a message or has invited you to a video call. When you see the red dot, it either means there is an unread message or an incoming call.
To read the message or join the call, you just need to click on the conversation. With Google Chat, you can get notifications when someone mentions you, adds you to a group conversation, or starts a private conversation.
The red dot is a helpful reminder that there is a new message waiting for you.
Can you permanently remove someone from Hangouts?
Yes, you can permanently remove someone from Hangouts. Doing this requires you to block the person in Hangouts, which will prevent them from contacting you or seeing any of your messages. To block someone in Hangouts, open the Hangouts app, go to your list of conversations, and long-press on the conversation with the person you want to block.
Then, tap on the “menu” icon at the top-right corner and select the “Block” option. Confirm this action by tapping “OK”. Now, the person will be blocked from Hangouts. This block is permanent and any messages that you sent to or received from them will be erased.
What happens when you report someone to Google?
When you report someone to Google, a process begins to investigate the reported issue. Depending on the type of issue, different teams within Google may be involved. For example, if you report someone for violating the Google Terms of Service, the Google User Experience team might investigate the issue.
During the investigation, any information you provided in your report can be reviewed and analyzed. Once the investigation is complete, the appropriate action is taken, including suspending the account or terminating it if the violation is severe enough.
This process is meant to protect the integrity of Google services, prevent further abuse, protect users, and keep people safe.
Does someone know when you block their number?
The short answer to this question is, it depends. It depends on the type of device and the phone carrier that a person has. If the person has an iPhone or Android device and their carrier supports caller ID, then yes, they will know you blocked their number.
However, if the person is using a device that does not support caller ID or they use a carrier that does not support caller ID, then they may not know you blocked their number. Additionally, some phone carriers will provide a “phantom ring” when calling a blocked number, which may let the person know that the call is being blocked.
Can you tell if someone blocked your texts?
Yes, there are several ways to tell if someone has blocked your texts. If you send a text message and it is not delivered or sent as ‘delivered’ within a reasonable amount of time, then it could be a sign that you have been blocked.
Another sign is that if you are able to see the person’s profile picture and have sent them a text message but no longer see the profile picture, this can also be a sign that your texts may have been blocked.
Additionally, if you have previously shared a group chat with the person and no longer see any of their messages in the chat, this could be an indication of a blocked text. Finally, if you call that person and their phone never rings or you can’t leave a voicemail, this can also be an indication that you have been blocked.
What happens when you block a number and they call you?
When you block a number and the blocked caller attempts to call you, the call will not go through. Depending on the phone carrier, the blocked caller may be informed that the call did not go through due to your phone settings, or just hear a busy signal.
After a call is blocked, the blocked caller may be prevented from leaving voicemails, or the voicemails may still go through but they will not be delivered to you. If the blocked caller sends text messages, they may be delivered, but you will not receive notifications and the messages will not appear in your inbox.
When you block someone can you still text them?
No, when you block someone on your phone, you cannot text them because you will be unable to send any messages to their number. The person will also be unable to contact you in any way because their number has been blocked by you.
This means that any calls, text messages, or other form of communication that uses the blocked number will not be able to be received by you.
Will blocked messages come through when unblocked?
Yes, when you unblock someone on your messaging app, any previously blocked messages that they sent you will still come through once they are unblocked. This means that once you unblock someone, you will be able to see any messages they sent you previously that were blocked.
Keep in mind that when you unblock someone, any messages they send after the unblocking will come through as usual, even if those messages were blocked before. It is important to note that the messages won’t appear if you unblock someone on one device, and then move to another device—you will need to unblock the person separately on each device.
Can I text someone I blocked on iPhone?
No, you cannot text someone you have blocked on an iPhone. When you block someone on your iPhone, it will prevent them from being able to contact you in any way, including through text messages, phone calls, FaceTime, and iMessages.
Any messages that are sent by the person you have blocked will not show up on your iPhone and will not be delivered to you. Additionally, you will not receive any notifications from the blocked user.
How do you send a blocked text message?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to send a blocked text message. Blocking a message is typically used to prevent a sender from being able to send certain messages, so even if you did manage to get a blocked message to send, the recipient would not be able to receive it.
If you have a specific reason for wanting to send a blocked text message, such as wanting to ensure the privacy of the conversation, your best bet would be to use a third-party mobile messaging app that has built-in security and privacy features.
These services allow you to control who can view and access your messages, as well as encrypting them to prevent outsiders from intercepting them. This offers you the highest level of security when sending messages.
