One thing that not everyone knows about Facebook Messenger is the possibility of being able to block someone, without, however, taking away the friendship on Facebook.In practice, we remain friends on Facebook, but messages sent by those who have been blocked cannot reach us.
Obviously, those who are blocked have no notification and can write messages as much as they want, perhaps thinking that the recipient reads them without answering.
To avoid writing messages in a vacuum, in the absence of a clear indication that our messages are actually read to a Facebook friend, let’s see what is the clue that makes us understand that a contact blocked us on Facebook Messenger.
What is important, above all, is to understand if that person has blocked us or if he has deactivated the account.First of all, let’s remember what it means to block a user on Facebook there is a big one difference between the terms “blocked” and “deleted”.
In summary, terms, when someone hangs up on Facebook, this person can not only no longer contact us and ask for friendship, but will not even see our profile anymore and will not even be able to read what we publish.
This is a complete block, which prevents any contact attempt.
If you delete someone from friends, they can still see our Facebook profile, the things we publish with public visibility and even contact us via Messenger.
If you delete a person’s friendship without blocking it on Messenger, their messages will still be received in the mailbox “Message requests“, the one that contains messages received from all non-friends.
The Facebook Messenger chat blocker can be made even on a Facebook friend, who will be able to continue to see our posts and everything but will not be able to contact us with messages.
If I block one of my contacts, it will no longer see me online and will not be able to send me messages in chat or even call us, even if it was still present in my list of friends.
Obviously even those who are blocked will not be able to send messages to the blocked person in chat.
Note that if I and the person who blocked me on Messenger are added to the same group of conversation, Facebook will notify those who put the block, so that it can choose whether to join the group or refuse.
See who blocked me on Messenger it’s pretty simple.
Both from the PC and from the Messenger app on the smartphone, when a message is sent and the reply is immediately received “This person is not available at the moment“, then we were blocked and the message will not be read by the recipient.
Furthermore, we will never be able to make voice calls to him because even Messenger calls are blocked.
If we have been blocked on Messenger by a Facebook friend we will not find the button to call, which is normally present
The only other reason why the writing may appear “This person is not available at the moment“is if the person we write to has disabled the account.
To check, just try opening his Facebook profile and see if the page is available.
If it is and we can read the data and its posts, then the account is not deactivated, but we were actually blocked in chat.
