How to Find Out if Someone on Discord Blocked You

Last Updated: July 26, 2022

Are you worried that a friend may have blocked you on Discord? Even though Discord won't tell you directly, there are easy ways to tell if someone blocked you. You can even find out if you're blocked without sending a direct message! This wikiHow article will show you all of the signs that you've been blocked on Discord, whether you're using a computer or the Discord mobile app.

1

React to one of their messages.

You won't be able to react to someone's messages if they've blocked you. You can even test this in a text or voice channel, it doesn't have to be in a DM (although a DM would work too). Just right-click or long-tap any message from the person and choose an emoji.
- If the screen shakes and/or your reaction doesn't appear, this person has blocked you. If you're using a phone, you might also see "Reaction Blocked."
- Reactions might also fail if you don't have reaction permissions for the channel. If you can react to everyone else's messages except this person, they've blocked you.

2

Check your friends list.

If this person is no longer on your friends list, they might have blocked you. When you block someone on Discord, you'll be removed from each other's friends lists. So, if you're suddenly not friends with someone anymore, they might have blocked you. It's also possible that they just unfriended you, so don't panic quite yet!

Try sending a friend request.

If you try to add someone who blocked you on Discord, you'll get a specific error. Just click or tap the Send Friend Request button on the person's profile and see what happens.
- If you're blocked, you'll see a message that says "Hm, didn't work. Double check that the capitalization, spelling, any spaces, and numbers are correct."
- If you're not blocked, the friend request will either go through as normal, or you might see "(username) is not accepting friend requests."
- The "not accepting friend requests" message just happens when someone turned off friend requests (or is only accepting adds from friends of friends and/or server members).^{[1]

Send a private message.

Send a quick DM to the person you think has blocked you. If you see the error "Your message could not be delivered," you're probably blocked. But it's also possible that you and the person aren't on the same server or they are only accepting messages from people on their friends list.
- If you send the DM from your computer, the error message will come from Clyde bot.
- If you send the DM from your Android or iPhone, you'll see the same message, but it'll show up in an Error window, not from Clyde bot.

Look at their profile.

Click the person's username in the server to view their profile. If the person's "About me" is suddenly empty and there are no social media links when there used to be, they might have blocked you. Although it's also possible they just erased everything from their profile!
- Ask a mutual friend to look at the person's profile to see if looks blank to them, too. If the mutual friend sees profile content but you don't, you're blocked.
