Telegram is a popular free messaging app that allows users to communicate with each other in real-time. As much as users can freely engage with anyone on the platform, individuals can still choose to create boundaries by simply hitting the block button. Unfortunately, Telegram will not notify you about being blocked. That does not mean that you cannot figure it out. If you have been blocked by another user on Telegram, there are a few signs that you can look for to determine if you have been blocked.

Here are a few ways to find out if you have been blocked on Telegram:

Contents

1. Check for a “Last Seen” status/Online Status

The chat’s last seen status will clearly give you an insight into the block status. Telegram displays the last-seen status of each contact. You will be able to see the time and date when the user was last active on the platform and if the individual hides their last seen status, you will be able to see “Last Seen Recently.” However, once you are blocked, the last seen status of the blocker will display as “Last Seen Long Time Ago” and you won’t be able to track their online history.

To see the chat’s last-seen status/Online Status;

  • Tap on the Telegram chat whose last seen status you would like to view.
  • Once the chat loads, you will see the status at the top just below the chat name.

2. Check the Profile Picture

This seems like an obvious indicator of being blocked, however, sometimes you might not be able to view someone’s profile picture due to different privacy settings that are far close to being blocked.

If you have been seeing the individual’s profile picture and all of a sudden you can’t, there is a possibility that you have been blocked. Sorry!

3. Send a Message

Don’t hesitate, to send that person a message. This is actually one of the easiest ways to figure out that you cannot be entertained anymore. If you have been blocked, you will be able to send messages to whoever has blocked you however; the message will not be delivered as before. Therefore, if the message status fails to change from single tick to double tick, chances are that you have been blocked. This could also be intuited by the fact that the individual you are trying to chat with is offline.

4. Try Calling

If you are still unsure of being blocked, you can try calling the person via Telegram. Unlike, the indicators listed before, this one will align the issue and clearly scream out loud that you have been blocked on the free messaging platform. Open the chat and hit the call button. Looking forward to the call ringing? Me too? Oops!! The call did not go through and you instead got an error message “Failed to Connect, Sorry you cannot call—because of their privacy setting.” Darling, you are blocked on Telegram

That’s it. If you are able to see more than two indicators from a particular chat, no more questions, you are blocked. If want to get even, you can choose to block them too. Here is how.
