With the latest updates, I'm confused about how to tell if I've been blocked by someone. Previously, there were clear signs, but now it seems like everything appears normal even if I'm blocked. For instance, my messages still show as delivered, and I can still see options to FaceTime and other features that usually indicate a connection. I even tried testing this with my brother using his iPad and my phone, but I'm not sure if that was a good test since he's on my family plan. Are there any new indicators that might show if I've been blocked?

Honestly, it seems like the updates are designed to keep that information more private. If someone blocks you, they don’t want you to know. Think of it this way: if they really don’t want to communicate, you might just need to respect that boundary and move on.
A good approach is to just steer clear of any behavior that might lead to being blocked in the first place! If you've got doubts, focus on rebuilding relationships rather than testing boundaries. Isn’t that what friends are for?
You're right; it feels like they made a change to prevent this kind of snooping. If your messages are marked as delivered but aren’t received, that’s a strong hint you might be blocked. However, keeping normal options like Facetime shows they really don’t want to make it obvious. Just take it easy; if someone wants to talk, they will, and if not, it's best to let them be.
I’m not trying to get blocked! I just genuinely wonder if there are any signs I should look for; that’s why I asked here for help.
