Skype tips friend blocks are great things that alert you if a friendship has turned into animosity in the popular messaging app.

The Fuse Joplin gives us three tips that tell if a contact has deleted, or worse, blocked you in Skype:

-The "X" sign next to your friend's name.

One of the most obvious Skype tip friend block is when you see a gray icon in the form of an imitation of a question mark in place of your friend's picture.

Your friend most often, wants to avoid you when he/she blocks you. So obviously, any information you have pertinent to that friend will disappear once he/she blocks you.

-The Skype Icon Takes the Place of Your Friend's Picture

Another surefire Skype tip friend block is when the Skype icon takes the place where your friend's picture used to be. You definitely won't be able to miss that when it comes around!

-Conversation Statuses

Another genius way to figure out if a friend has deleted or blocked you is when your previous conversations with them don't appear anymore. Or, if by any chance, your future messages don't get delivered to them anymore. Try sending a message to your friend who you suspect has blocked or deleted you, then if your messages don't go through, you know you've been removed or blocked from your friend's contact list.
