Do People Know When You Block Them on Discord

Social media is entertaining until someone crosses the line. However, these platforms allow blocking someone involved in such activities. Similarly, in Discord, some users get blocked daily due to misbehaving during discussions and many other unpleasant conditions. But Discord does not notify you when you are blocked, and you may continue to use the platform without realizing the corresponding members have blocked you for an extended period. So, how can you realize if a Discord user has blocked you?

This guide will explain the methods to know if a Discord user has blocked you.

Let’s discuss all these methods one by one.

Method 1: Searching for a Friend With a Username

You might be confused why some Discord users are your friends but are invisible to you in a friend list. Aside from connectivity issues, you may have been blocked by the user. For instance, you have a conversation with two friends, but when you click on “Friends” and then hit the “All” tab at the top of the screen, a friend is missing from your friend list. It means that the other person blocked you:
