Like any platform, Facebook also allows you to block anyone you find irritating or obnoxious on its platform. If you are one of those people, who got blocked by someone and now wonder whether you can still send a message to that person on Messenger, then allow us to break it for you! Before jumping to a conclusion, you first need to figure out if someone blocked you, and this is not all conjectures. Keep reading to figure that out!
How To Figure Out if Someone Blocked You on Messenger
Let us help you figure out how to be sure if someone has blocked you on Messenger.
Sign #1: Send a Message
Send the message to someone on the Messenger app and look at the delivery status to determine if you are blocked. Now, you must look for these indicators to be sure you might be blocked. If your message shows the “delivery status” of an empty circle with a check mark, it either means they are not online or have blocked you. If you suspect your message is not delivered because the person has blocked you, check their activity (their recent posts, comments, likes, etc.) on Facebook. If they are active there, and still your message does not go through, it means they have blocked you on Messenger.
Sign #2: Their Stories
Look for someone’s stories on Facebook and Messenger. When their story appears on their Facebook but not on Messenger – it indicates they have blocked you on Messenger.
Sign #3: Check Facebook
Check whether the person has blocked you on Facebook also. Go to Facebook and search for the person by name. If nothing appears, it means they have blocked you from everywhere.
How To Message the Person Who Has Blocked You on Messenger
Frankly, if someone has blocked you on Messenger or anywhere, they do not want to talk to you. So, it is absurd to reach out, but we are not to judge you on your life choices. Some people are too important to be left ignored! You might want to reach out to the person because they matter to you or you have wronged them, whatever your intention. Sometimes it is important to communicate your message due to some urgency. The moral of the story is that you cannot send messages nor make video or audio calls to anyone who blocks you on Messenger. Similarly, the person who blocks you on Facebook will disappear from your Facebook and Messenger. The main question is can you Message someone who blocked you in Messenger? The answer is simple, yes, you can! Before you get too excited, let us tell you that you can message them on other platforms but not on Messenger. You cannot message someone on Messenger if they have blocked you there. But here are some ideas to try:
You can use other platforms to ask them to unblock you from Messenger or communicate your message. Let there remain no confusion, as someone might have blocked you accidentally. If you have their numbers, you can call or WhatsApp them even. Create a new Facebook account and log in to Messenger using that. Now, send the “Message Request” to that person. Say whatever is in your heart sincerely and request them to unblock you. Ask your mutual friends to intervene. Send your message through your mutual friends.
The Takeaway
When someone blocks you anywhere, there is nothing the platform can do to enable you to contact that person on the same platform. You can try to reach out to the person in other spaces and clear the air. You can also get your mutual friends to intervene to make you both restore your relationships. If nothing works, let it go and give the person some time to think it over and make amends. If the account is deactivated, you will also see the message “This person is unavailable on Messenger” instead of the message board.
