Sometimes it can happen for various reasons that of people blocking you directly on FaceTime. From then on, it is impossible for you to contact them, but above all, you are absolutely not informed.

Indeed, nothing will tell you that you have been blocked on FaceTime and you can continue to send messages and try to call for a while without necessarily getting any responses from the person who blocked you.

From then on, it may take a while before you feel like you've been blocked. If you've gotten this far, it's because you've had this feeling for a while and you want answers. That's good, we'll give them to you.

Indeed, if at first, we will see how to block someone on FaceTime from their iPhone, we will then see the different methods that you can apply in order to have the answer to your question, find out if you've been blocked on FaceTime.

How to block someone on FaceTime?

The first thing to know is that theyou can't really block someone except on FaceTime. Indeed, if you choose to block the person, they will no longer be able to contact you at all.

Therefore, of course FaceTime will be blocked, but so will normal calls and even text messages.. In short, anything that goes through your mobile number will be blocked for that particular person, which can be handy.

Indeed, if someone is harassing you for example, blocking can quickly become essential. We will therefore tell you the procedure to follow to set it up in relation to a particular number.

The procedure is very simple. Whether on FaceTime, in your text messages or in your call history, you can see a small 'I' blue icon next to the phone number, just click on it.

Then scroll through the options until the one to block the contact appears.

Then validate your choice. From then on, that person will no longer be able to get in touch with you.

No mention clearly indicates that you are blocked on FaceTime

Obviously, if when you were blocked, you were informed of it or even if you were directly refused on each call, this would quickly alert you, it's quite logical.

So, to protect its users, Apple has implemented the following system. When you call a contact on FaceTime who has blocked you, everything will happen as if they hadn't done it. It will ring for a few seconds.

You will then have the impression that it did indeed ring, but that your correspondent was not available or simply did not have time to take the call. Nothing further will then be indicated to you.

However, what is certain is that you may have an idea that the person has blocked you if they have not answered several calls. In this case, doubt may arise on your part.

However, as you were told, nothing can guarantee you at that time that the person in front of you has indeed blocked you. However, there is three techniques to allow you to make sure of it and we present them to you.

Use the SMS trick

The first technique is that of SMS. Indeed, you have surely noticed that on your messages between iPhone, you have an evolution of the statuses of the messages. These appear initially in delivered, then in read.

Of course, as for FaceTime, if the mention delivered did not appear, you would have fairly quickly the confirmation that you have been blocked and it will therefore appear as in a normal message.

However, the read notice does not appear. Therefore, if you ever see that you have all your messages which are delivered, but none are read, you know that you have probably been blocked by this contact.

Be careful though, since this is a fairly simple method for see you've been blocked, it is entirely possible that Apple will react in the fairly near future via an update and implement false mentions read in conversations.

Try calling with another number

If this technique ever becomes corrected, don't panic, there is always another technique, that of calling via another phone. To do this, the first step is to call with your phone blocked to make sure that the call goes through when it is you.

Then borrow the phone a member of your family or a friend, try calling the person concerned again. If she responds when she didn't answer your phone thirty seconds ago, you can be sure that you have been blocked.

This is surely the technique that will allow you to know as soon as possible if you have been blocked on FaceTime or not and also the one that is surely the most reliable since you will never be told directly that you have been blocked.

Go through Messenger

Finally, the last technique that we can present to you is to try using other messaging services. Indeed, if your phone number has been blocked, it is surely also the case for your Messenger account.

Besides, unlike your iPhone, it is quite easy to know if you have been blocked on Messenger by your contact. In fact, when you try to send him a message, a small red dot appears next to it. Moreover, to confirm this, you can see that it is impossible to display your profile on Messenger.

This is then a sign that your message could not be sent, because you were blocked by this contact on Messenger. Since then, you will know almost for certain that you have also been blocked on FaceTime by the latter.
