How to Know If Someone Has Blocked You on Viber [2023 Update]

As one of the most popular messaging apps, Viber is frequently used for people who wants to get in touch with friends or loved ones.

Same as Contacts and Message App, Viber also has the functionality of blocking others to avoid getting interrupted.

So how to know if someone has blocked you on Viber? The tips offered below should help.

How to Know If Someone Has Blocked You on Viber

1. Check the Person's Status or Profile Picture

If someone blocked you on Viber, his/her status or profile picture will not update any more. Thus the most straightforward way is to check their profile images or account status.

Chances are that you may be blocked from the person's Viber contact list if the status or profile photos are not updated finally. It is not 100% confirmed, though.

• Open the Viber app and check if the person’s profile picture remains the same. If the person has blocked you on Viber, the profile picture will not get changed.
• To confirm this, you can use a different Viber number to add this contact.
• When you check the profile picture again, you may find that the profile has changed. This means that you have been blocked on Viber.

2. Send a Message to the Person in Group Chat

As we know that the person will not be able to read your messages once he or she adds you in the block list. But you are still able to send messages to the person on Viber.

• Open the Viber group chat and send a message to the person that you suspected.
• If the person doesn't reply your messages but be active in the chat group, he or she may have blocked you on viber.

3. Check the Status of the Sent Messages

If you are blocked on Viber, the messages sent to him will be invisible, which means that the status of messages you sent to him will never be "Delivered" or "Seen". Try to type a short message and send to the recipient, then check the message status.

4. Send a Message Using Another Number

A different Viber number is required in this method, but this way is more precise than the tips mentioned above.

• Create a new Viber account, sent the person who may have blocked you a message.
• Check if the statues of the sent message marked as "Delivered" or "Seen".
• You may have been blocked if the status of "Delivered" or "Seen" has been turned off.

5. Confirm by Placing a Call

Give someone a call is somehow the final solution that confirms whether you are blocked on Viber.

• Take out of your device and give the person a call.
• You might be blocked if you see "Calling" rather than "Ringing".

This method is the last resort which can definitely confirm that you have been blocked on Viber. Yet, it doesn’t seem to be a good choice.
