Blocking people on the iPhone is what you do when you don’t need them contacting you for any reason.
Everyone knows that when you are blocked, you can no longer call the number that blocked you, but members of the iPhone community also want to know if this is also the same for SMS.
In this article, you will learn if SMS texts are delivered when you are blocked on an iPhone.
Will SMS Be Delivered If Blocked On iPhone?
Blocking a contact on an iPhone means that you are blocking them from being able to call you, send you SMSs, text you on iMessage, and then FaceTiming you.
When you block someone and they try to call you, it will be unable to go through as your phone automatically declines phone calls coming from that number.
When you block a contact in your iPhone, they are unable to FaceTime audio or video call you. When they try to do that, it abruptly hangs up and does not even connect.
When they try to send you texts on the iMessage, it switches from blue to green. This means the message has been sent as an SMS instead of an iMessage.
The SMS will be sent from your network provider, but it will not be delivered. Since network providers cannot unsent SMS texts that have already been sent, the SMS of a contact you have blocked will not be delivered to you.
They will not indicate that you have not received their message and neither would you receive any indication of them sending you a message.
Conclusion
No, SMS messages will not be delivered if blocked on the iPhone. This is because when you are blocked, all your access to them is disconnected and you are prevented from contacting them.
