What happens if I block someone on Telegram?

The most obvious consequence is that the contact will be blocked from contacting you via text or call. If he tries to use these features, the app will just show the message “Call Failed”. The secret chat function is also restricted. In this case, the warning “An error has occurred. Please try later”.

Interestingly, the blocked user can create a new channel and add you. To preserve your privacy choice, however, Telegram does not display messages sent by it in chat. The option to create groups, in turn, is unavailable.

But if you and the contact are already in a group, messages sent by the contact after blocking will still be visible. He will even be able to respond to whatever you send in the chat. And, of course, the contact will always be able to join third-party groups and channels that you are a part of.

In addition to these restrictions, the user will not see your online status or the last time you entered the chat (the famous “last seen”). What appears is “Seen a long time ago”, without further details. Acknowledgment of receipt and reading also disappear, as well as the profile picture.

Fortunately, TikTok does not send any blocking notices. But if you want to keep the action a secret, don’t celebrate just yet. It is possible to find out if a person has blocked you on Telegram by other means.

1. To finally use Telegram blocking (Android l iOS l Web l Desktop), access the “Contacts” tab and enter the name or number of the person you want to restrict. Tap on the contact;

2. With this action, you will enter the chat with the user. Click at the top of the screen to access the options. Then select the “More” button and then the “Block” command;

3. In the small window that will be shown next, confirm your decision.

If you want to eventually unblock the person, repeat the step-by-step path. When accessing the options screen, you will see the “Unlock” tab. Click on it, confirm and that’s it!
