If your blocked can you still see if they have notifications silenced because I person I thought blocked me now has the notifications are silenced and I’m wondering if he unblocked me
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone SE, iOS 15
I have been blocked for over a week and now all of a sudden I can see the “notifications silenced” message. I haven’t tried to message them but I think that would have been there before if it worked while being blocked.

I have the same question. I sent a text but it sent as a SMS (green) but I still see that the person has their notifications silenced. Was my number blocked or not?
what do u mean by notice because I told this girl to block me and she said ok and now it says her notifications are silenced. so am I blocked
I actually tried this. I blocked my number on someone else's phone then I silenced my notification. I could still see that notice message on the other person's phone that I have put my phone on Focus mode and that my notification is silenced.
So even if ur blocked u can see notifications are silenced
Are you sure? Can I ask how you know? I’m seeing focus notifications from someone I’m pretty sure has blocked me… also only see green texts which may be an effect of the block as well. Have you tried this? Or do you just “know”?
Some folks are suggesting that focus status sharing works independently of blocking texts/calls. I see the Apple community specialist says that you cannot see focus status after being blocked but others say they literally tried it with two phones and they could see focus status even while blocked … so how did you come to know one way or the other? Just curious.
Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities siri53,
We see that you have a question about seeing silenced notifications. We'd be happy to help.
If you have been blocked, or if you have blocked someone, then you would not be able to see if they have notifications silenced, and vice versa. The article provides more information on blocking numbers.
Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are blocked, you're blocked, nothing will show.
I tried it on my phone and my sons. If you are blocked and share focus is still on you will see it.
I have the same issue and would like some clarification.
I’ve been having the same issue and I know they blocked me.
If you have shared focus on they can see it even if blocked. Turn off shared focus if you don’t want them to see it.
Can you still see Focus status in Messages if blocked?
