Do texts turn green if blocked?

No, green text bubbles on iPhone don't definitively mean you're blocked; they mean the message is an SMS/MMS (carrier text) instead of iMessage (over data), which happens if the other person has an Android, no internet, iMessage is off, or you're blocked, but other signs like calls going to voicemail are stronger indicators. A true block usually results in blue iMessages with no "Delivered" status at all, while green bubbles just mean carrier delivery, not necessarily a block.


Do texts still turn green if blocked?

Green text on an iPhone usually means your message is an SMS/MMS (carrier text) instead of an iMessage (blue), often because the recipient isn't on an Apple device, has iMessage off, or has no data/Wi-Fi; however, it can signal a block if it's a long-term change from blue to green with no "Delivered" status, but it's not definitive, as network issues or settings changes (phone off, iMessage off) cause the same green bubble. 

How do I tell if I'm blocked on iMessage?

You can suspect you're blocked on iMessage if your blue bubbles suddenly turn green (sending as SMS), messages never show a "Delivered" or "Read" status, calls go straight to voicemail without ringing (or ring once then voicemail), and FaceTimes fail.

Do iMessages stay blue if you're blocked?

Yes, your iMessages will generally stay blue when you've been blocked, but they won't show a "Delivered" or "Read" status, which is the key sign you've been blocked; the message just sits there, as if the person's phone is off or has no signal, but it's actually not reaching them at all. The bubble remains blue because it's still attempting to send as an iMessage (over the internet), not an SMS text (green bubble).

No, blocked iMessages don't get delivered to the recipient's device; they are held by Apple's servers, though your phone might briefly show "Delivered" or send it as a green text, but it won't reach them, and you won't get read receipts. The confusion comes from Apple's servers sometimes showing "Delivered" (meaning it hit the server, not the phone), but the person is truly blocked if messages stop coming through or you see "Not Delivered" or a green bubble (for SMS).
