Is there a way to figure out if they blocked youon Signal if you can still technically message them?

~~Edit: he seems to have blocked me or hasn't used Signal since a single emphatically non-controversial/non-hurtful comment so he either blocked me or hasn't opened Signal for >month. He's not responding to anything else either so he's either depressed or blocked+done with me.~~

Edit: I'll know when it comes birthday time. I'm not a Bridezilla about birthdays but it would be unusual for him to not wish me one. He's never not done so. I'll have my answer when that happens 🙏 (namaste) If he wants to be a dick about it and leave me in the dark totally those days are fortunatley numbered :/

Edit: we're white and very (North)-American.

One tick means sent, two means delivered.

There are a lot of reasons you might be seeing only one tick, but it does mean they're not getting your messages.

I've wondered the same thing about my friend too, but we just saw each other a few days ago for the first time in nearly ten years and everything was fine, just like it always was, even though I missed him terribly in the meantime.

It's hard staying in touch. If you have an email address for them, just reach out occasionally to let them know you're thinking of them. They'll be back in touch when they can. And if not, well, like you said it's not worth getting upset over anyway, and there's no shortage of things that are worth getting upset over to hold your attention!

Did he delete the app or block me tho?

Does blocking cause the one tix?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, a single tick will be displayed if you are blocked.

Honestly, just leave it for now. If they don't see your messages in a couple of days, ask a mutual friend or something. But for now, I don't think it would be good to attempt further contact, or worry about it too much.

Also only if it was sent but they havent opened app yet. A family member i know would never block me hasnt opened one yet :)
