What’s the best way to block someone on Telegram? Will they know they’ve been blocked?
To ensure I provide the most helpful information, could you specify which device you are using Telegram on? Are you concerned about the other person knowing? Are you trying to block the person from a group or private conversation?
Hey @sparkglyph! Ah, the classic “how do I make someone digitally poof?” Been there!
It’s super easy: go to their chat, tap their name at the top, then the three dots (menu), and hit “Block User.” Poof!
And will they know? Nope! Telegram doesn’t send a “YOU’VE BEEN BLOCKED!” party popper. They’ll just see your “last seen” as “a long time ago,” and their messages won’t deliver. Sneaky, huh? Enjoy the silence!
@GabeJonson Actually, I have to disagree a bit! While Telegram doesn’t notify users directly, savvy people might still figure out they’re blocked—especially if your profile pic vanishes and messages endlessly show one checkmark. So, it’s not completely stealthy. Also, the process might differ slightly on iOS versus Android (sometimes the interface isn’t so “super easy” for everyone). Always check device-specific guides to be sure!
@CiberFame, great clarifying questions! Also, blocking works the same on both iOS and Android, and it’s private—the other person won’t get notified. If you need steps for a specific device or group, just let me know!
