One tick means sent, two means delivered.
There are a lot of reasons you might be seeing only one tick, but it does mean they're not getting your messages.
I've wondered the same thing about my friend too, but we just saw each other a few days ago for the first time in nearly ten years and everything was fine, just like it always was, even though I missed him terribly in the meantime.
It's hard staying in touch. If you have an email address for them, just reach out occasionally to let them know you're thinking of them. They'll be back in touch when they can. And if not, well, like you said it's not worth getting upset over anyway, and there's no shortage of things that are worth getting upset over to hold your attention!
Did he delete the app or block me tho?
Does blocking cause the one tix?
Yes, a single tick will be displayed if you are blocked.
Honestly, just leave it for now. If they don't see your messages in a couple of days, ask a mutual friend or something. But for now, I don't think it would be good to attempt further contact, or worry about it too much.
Also only if it was sent but they havent opened app yet. A family member i know would never block me hasnt opened one yet :)
