Checking that contact's moments and thumbnail pictures is another method you can do to check whether you have been blocked.
- Step 1: Open your WeChat application and go to "Contacts".

- Step 1: Open the WeChat application and go to "Chats".
- Step 2: On the upper right of the screen, look for the "+" sign and choose "new chat".
