In this context, yes. But I can also mean that the device could not be reached or the recipient switched to android. But for the sake of the joke it means they were blocked.
iMessage uses it’s own protocols and shit that are proprietary, and uses the standard sms protocol as a fallback. Android can use something called RCS which catches up feature wise, but doesn’t play nice with apple.
It’s to create an illusion of exclusivity and therefore social pressure to use an apple device.
This isn’t technically wrong, but to be clear, iMessage is closed source. No one can play nice with Apple, in that regard.
RCS on the other hand is a more open standard that anyone is free to implement and use. It just doesn’t come with end-to-end encryption as a part of the standard.
