If you have been blocked on iMessage and you send a message,will it say "delivered"?

I have been texting someone and it says "delivered" but I haven't received any reply yet.

Does that mean I am blocked?

iPhone 7, 12

I thought someone might have an official answer from APPLE here.

I tried it with a friend's phone too.

I blocked my number on a friend's iPhone and sent an imessage and it was blue but never said delivered.

I then unblocked my number,sent another one and it said delivered.

Well, again, this is a user to user support forum, so no one from Apple is here to provide an "official word". Sounds like you have tested this and you are seeing a different result. Frankly, I'm surprised that it didn't show delivered for the first message because the sender is not supposed to know that they are blocked, and that would seem like a bit of a tip-off.


However, I also just tested this by blocking myself on my husband's phone, and you are correct - it did not show as "delivered", but the next message sent moments later after I had unblocked myself. What I haven't been able to test yet is whether it behaves the same way when you are sending an SMS/MMS message. If I can test that, I will post back.


Best,
