Blocked in WhatsApp, how to find out - briefly?
To determine if you have been blocked on WhatsApp, try sending a message to the contact. If your message fails to deliver and there is no indication of a single checkmark (which signifies the message has not been sent), it is likely that you have been blocked. Additionally, checking if their profile picture or status updates are visible can provide further evidence; if they are not, this may indicate that you have been blocked.
Blocked in WhatsApp, how to find out - in detail?
To determine if you have been blocked on WhatsApp, there are several indicators and methods you can use. It is important to note that WhatsApp does not provide a direct notification when someone blocks you, but there are some telltale signs.
- Last Seen Status: If the person who has potentially blocked you has their Last Seen status visible, you will no longer be able to see it. This is one of the most common indicators of being blocked.
- Profile Picture: Similar to the Last Seen status, if the person's profile picture was previously visible and now suddenly becomes unavailable, this could indicate that you have been blocked.
- Messages: When you send a message to someone who has blocked you, there will be only one check mark (which indicates that the message has been sent but not delivered). For messages to contacts who are not blocked or online, you would see two check marks indicating delivery. Additionally, if you try to call the person and it rings once then goes directly to voicemail, this is another sign of being blocked.
- Group Interaction: If the person is part of a group that you both share, you can still send messages to them within the group. However, they will not receive your direct messages outside of the group if they have blocked you.
- Status Updates: You will no longer be able to see their status updates or stories. If you try to view them and get an error message or they do not appear at all, this could indicate that you have been blocked.
- Contact Information: Check your contact list to ensure that the person’s information is still there. Sometimes, if someone blocks you, their contact information might disappear from your list.
- Third-Party Applications: There are third-party applications available that can help you determine if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp. However, use these with caution as they may not be entirely reliable or secure.
If after checking these indicators you still suspect that you have been blocked but are unsure, it might be helpful to reach out to the person through another means of communication to confirm your suspicions.
