The answer? Continue reading and everything will be clear to you!
Last access
The first clue to understanding if you've been blocked is to take a look at thelast login.
Usually, except for very occasional users, Telegram provides rather precise temporal indications, such as when it refers to a user who has recently logged in, this means that access occurred at least once in the previous 48/72 hours.
But when the indication shows Last access a long time ago it means that more than a month has passed and this in itself is already a valuable clue.
If you are aware that the other person tends to connect frequently but you continue to see remote timing, the chances that you have been blocked are very high.
The Telegram ticks
You can have a definitive proof by trying to send a message. Telegram is designed in such a way that a a tick corresponds to a sent message, two ticks to one displayed.
Where even after days you continue to see only one check it means that there was no display and therefore you have been blocked.

It is a simplification perhaps even trivial, but which perfectly explains the state of things.
You must know, in fact, that a blocked contact will still be able to see yours since Telegram automatically synchronizes with the user's address book, however it will not accurately see the last login, your profile photos and if he will try to contact you in any way the communication will not be forwarded.
