1. Check if Message is sent to Telegram Account
If you see a single check mark for sent messages, it means that the message has not been delivered to the user on Telegram. If you noticed that previous messages were sent with a double tick, and if you now see a single tick – and it hasn’t changed for a long time, then it is likely that you have been blocked on Telegram.
However, this is not conclusive as you may encounter some network connectivity issues that prevent you from sending messages on Telegram. Also, the person you are trying to contact on Telegram may be experiencing network problems or has uninstalled the app.
Therefore, you need to check a few more events to conclude that you have been blocked.
2. Profile picture will be replaced with initials
If someone blocks you on Telegram, you won’t be able to see that person’s profile picture. It will be replaced with the contact’s initials. However, it is possible that the user deleted their display photo, or they changed some privacy settings that prevented you from seeing their profile picture.
However, you can still see and read their profile even if they have blocked you.
3. You can’t see their online status
If you’re trying to talk to an account that has blocked you, you won’t be able to see the user’s status even if they’re online. As a result, you won’t see an ‘Online’ indicator below the username. However, it is also possible that they are offline and not using Telegram at the moment.
4. You can’t see their activity status
If someone has blocked you on Telegram, you cannot see their activity status. Telegram will show you a ‘Last viewed a long time ago’ message even if they are using or recently online on Telegram.
5. You cannot make voice or video calls to the account
If someone blocks you on Telegram, you can’t make voice or video calls to their account. Telegram will display a message that says ‘Call failed’ and may also say that the account that blocked you has modified some privacy settings that are preventing you from calling them.
6. You can’t add an account to a group chat
If an account has blocked you, you won’t be able to add them to a group chat. However, it is possible that they have some privacy settings that prevent you from adding them to a group chat. But this is the most convincing proof to know if you are blocked on Telegram as you may see a message saying ‘USER_IS_BLOCKED’.
Or, you won’t be able to add them to a group and Telegram will say you need to send them an invitation to join the group – you won’t be able to send this invitation if they’ve blocked you.
7. Check if Account has been deleted
You cannot perform any of the above operations if the account has been deleted on Telegram. Thankfully, the Telegram app will let you know if an account has been deleted. However, it may take some time for the changes to reflect. Therefore, restart the Telegram app and check if the account has been deleted.
