Instant messaging has become second nature to all of us. Everyone uses instant messaging applications to communicate. Telegram is one popular app that allows us to share very quickly with our friends and family. However, Telegram’s security is also a concern. It does not offer end-to-end encryption and stores user data on servers, making it vulnerable to cyber attacks. However, it offers an option that enables you to block some people or some strangers on Telegram and prevent them from messaging in the future. Other people can do it to you as well. When blocking on Telegram is carried out, you won’t get any notifications. But, there are a couple of clues and signs that you can notice if you look carefully.
How to know you are block on Telegram
Once you block someone or are blocked, the information on the profile won’t be visible to the other user. Some signs confirm the suspicion. The person’s online status is one of the indicators. If:
- There is no “Last Seen” or “Online” status;
- Blocking a contact on Telegram means it is no longer for them to see your status updates.
- The contact does not receive your messages;
- When the connection is lost on Telegram, the messages sent by them no longer reach you.
- You can’t see the person’s profile picture;
- The contacts you blocked lose access to the photo used in the messenger’s profile.
- You can’t call the person using Telegram;
- If you block someone, the call does not complete or displays a privacy notice.
- There is no “account deleted” message from the Telegram team.
If you block someone, the “Account deleted” warning does not display.
They all mean you are dealing with the matter of block on the Telegram app. Furthermore, you can use another account to check the person’s profile to confirm the suspicion.
