How to Know If Someone Blocked You on Tandem

  • by

If you’ve been blocked on Tandem, you won’t be notified, but there are ways to know. If you suspect someone has blocked you, search for their username, check your messages, or try to chat with them. If all fails, searching for their profile from another account can confirm if they’ve been blocked or not.

Meanwhile, there are a number of reasons why a user may have blocked you. People may block someone to protect themselves but it might be confusing on Tandem to find out if someone has blocked you.

Ways to know if you have been blocked on Tandem

As with Tandem, if you’ve been blocked by someone, you won’t get an alert or message that this is the case. But there are ways to check if that’s happened. 

Here’s how to find out.

Method 1#. Search for the person’s username or full name

If you’ve been blocked on Tandem by a user, their account won’t show up when you search for it. To check this, open Tandem and tap the search icon, located toward the top-left corner of the screen. Then enter the person’s name or username. 

If the person’s name doesn’t appear, it isn’t necessarily confirmation that the person has blocked you or may have deleted their account. You must not mistake this for a person who has deactivated their Tandem account or a person who has been banned by Tandem, as this might also be the case. So you’ll have to check further to find out what’s happened.

Method 2#. Check recent conversations

Being blocked on Tandem can give a bad feeling sometimes. You want to send a message to the person, and the next, you can’t find your chat history or can’t reach out to them. If you suspect someone has blocked you on Tandem, and you’ve had conversations with them in the app, you may be able to tell for sure by going into your chat history.

To check, open Tandem and log in to your account if needed. Then tap the chat icon, located at the bottom of the screen to the left of the tab, to go into your chats. If they don’t show up in your chat history, that’s a clue that they may have blocked you. 

If you do find their name in your chat history, tap their name and try to send them a message. If you get a response that reads something like, Failed to send your message Tap to try again, you might have been blocked.

However, it could also be a connection issue, so you should also check your WiFi strength, just in case. If it instead says Pending, you’ve likely been deleted from their contacts list on Tandem. 

Method 3#. Search their name from a different account

Another way to verify you’ve been blocked is by using a friend’s account to search for the person in question, or you could create another Tandem account. It’s confirmed you’re blocked if you can find their profile and see photos and additional info once you search from a different account. 

Method 4#. Directly ask the person

Another simple way to know if someone has blocked you on Tandem is to ask the person directly if the person is close to you in real life. You can simply go up to them and ask them if they have blocked you on Tandem. If their answer is yes, don’t get upset; it might feel harsh at that moment, but at least now you won’t have to keep stressing about it.

How will someone know if you block them on Tandem?

If you block someone on Tandem will they know? You might decide to block someone on Tandem for any reason, but you might be worried that they will understand if you have blocked them. Fortunately, Tandem doesn’t send notifications to the person you blocked but they can use some methods above to know if you have blocked them.

How to know if someone deleted their Tandem account

How will you know if someone deleted or deactivated their Tandem account? If you’re trying to see a person’s profile but can’t see it from your account it is likely that you’ve been blocked. But if you want to be sure you can try searching for that person’s profile from another Tandem account. If you can find the profile from another account then you can be sure that you’ve been blocked.

You can also visit the Tandem website, and after the last slash, enter the username of the person whose account you are looking for. If it comes to a screen that says “This page is not available,” they’ve either deleted their account or they have blocked you.

Moreover, it is that they mistakenly blocked you and don’t even have any idea of this whole incident at all. So, you might just be worried over nothing.

Why do people block you?

Before going through the details of how to know if someone blocked you on Tandem, let’s see why your friends might block you. While people might block different users because of any reason, the major reason people block others is that they do not want to see a certain user’s profile, or there are users who don’t want to see their profile.
