When someone blocks you from messaging them on most Android and iPhone apps, you probably won’t be receiving any notifications, and many of these apps don’t allow continued communication after one person gets blocked. However, there are ways to text someone who blocked you on Android, iPhone, and social media apps.
Before going right to it, you need to confirm first if you were blocked from sending a message.
- On your phone, if you keep receiving “Message Not Delivered” or no notification at all that your message was delivered, your number may have been blocked. If you try calling the person but can’t get through, that’s the confirmation you need.
- On social media, if you find that all your messages were not delivered and you can no longer view the person’s profile, you have been blocked.
Now that you have confirmed if you were blocked, let’s examine how you can work around texting someone who blocked you on Android and iPhone apps.
How to Text Someone Who Blocked You on Android
Follow these steps to text anyone who has blocked your phone number from texting them.
- On Google Play Store, search for SpoofCard App.
- Download and install the app on your Android phone.
- Next, open the app, and on the navigation page, select SpoofText.
- Click on New Spoof Text
Type the phone number of the person you’d like to text in the space provided. You may grant the app access to your phone’s contact to make choosing a phone number easier. Type your message and send it to the person.
Alternatively, you can text the person using any anonymous texting service that allows you to message anyone via the internet. Some common anonymous texting services include:
- SendAnonymousSMS

Just visit the site, enter the phone number you want to text, write your message, and click on the send button.

How to Text Someone Who Blocked You on WhatsApp
There are two ways to approach it,
- Delete and reactivate your WhatsApp account: To text someone who has blocked your number on WhatsApp, you must first delete your account. Make sure you remember the details of your account because it will delete most of your personalized settings. In the settings tab, you will be able to delete account under the account tab. Open WhatsApp and set it up the way you’d normally do. By now you should be able to message anyone because you deleted your account.
- Ask a mutual friend to create a group and add the person: A mutual friend can create a group on WhatsApp and add both you and the person who blocked you from texting them on WhatsApp. This way, you can message that person in the group. With prior arrangements, the creator of the group may leave the group so only you two can send and receive messages.
How to tell if someone has blocked you on Instagram
- Log in to Instagram
- Enter the URL www.instagram.com/username (you need to replace the “username” in the URL with the person’s Instagram handle) on a computer
- If you see the message pop up: “Sorry, this page isn’t available,” you have almost certainly been blocked, provided they did not delete their Instagram account.
One way to be sure you may have been blocked is by looking for the handle by logging in with a different Instagram account and trying the above. If you find their page, the other account has been blocked.
You may check and verify by looking at the comments and likes on an Instagram account that they follow (if it’s a Private account, ensure you both follow the account). If you come to find any, it signifies that they have not deleted their Instagram account and have blocked you.
How can you tell if someone blocked you on Discord?
Attempting to respond to one of their messages on a server you both use may help determine whether you’ve been blocked. If they haven’t blocked you, you’ll see the emoticon shown in your profile. On the other hand, the screen will vibrate while using a PC.
