If I accidentally react to an old text message (not iMessage) does the person receive the reaction if you have them blocked on your phone?

After update, text is wierd I have my iphone 12 on automatic updates, but for some reason I noticed that there was an available update that didn't happen, so I manually initiated it. It updated from 15.something to 16.something. Right after that, if I text someone, they see the sender info as my Apple username instead of my regular name as usual, so they aren't sure it's me texting them. Also, in a group text chat, I no longer get the group's texts. Do you know what's going on?

Disable iMessage Report as Junk option iPhone 13 with iOS 16. I don’t want to have to decide to report or not report every single time I delete a text message. Can I turn that off? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Yes. You blocking someone on your iPhone only blocks their ability to send you a message. You can still send them one, unless they blocked you.
