Can a blocked contact see you in WhatsApp - briefly?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to view your status updates or profile picture. Additionally, any messages sent from the blocked contact will not be delivered and will appear as undelivered for them.
Can a blocked contact see you in WhatsApp - in detail?
When a user blocks another person on WhatsApp, the blocked individual loses their ability to see the profile picture, about section, status updates, and any changes made by the person who blocked them. This is due to the privacy measures implemented by WhatsApp, which prioritize the safety and security of its users.
After being blocked, the contact cannot view the online or last seen status of the person who blocked them. Additionally, messages sent from the blocked contact will not be delivered and will show only one checkmark (indicating that the message was sent but not received). Calls made to a blocked number will also go unanswered.
However, it is important to note that while the blocked contact cannot see these updates or interact with the user directly, they are still able to view the group chats they share with the person who blocked them. This means that if the blocked individual is part of a group chat with the user, they can continue to participate in discussions and see any messages or media shared within the group.
In summary, while blocking someone on WhatsApp significantly limits their ability to view your profile and interact with you directly, it does not prevent them from seeing updates within shared group chats.
