Can I message someone who has blocked me on WhatsApp - briefly?
If you have been blocked by someone on WhatsApp, you will not be able to send them messages or see their last seen status. Additionally, your messages will not be delivered to them.
Can I message someone who has blocked me on WhatsApp - in detail?
When a person blocks you on WhatsApp, it restricts your ability to communicate with them through the platform. Here's what happens in detail:
- Message Delivery: If someone has blocked you, any message you send will not be delivered to their phone. Instead, WhatsApp will show only one checkmark (which indicates that the message has left your device) but not the double checkmarks (which indicate delivery and reading). This is because the message cannot reach the recipient's phone.
- Profile Picture and Status: You will no longer be able to see the profile picture, last seen status, or online status of the person who blocked you. These elements will appear as unavailable.
- Calls: Both voice and video calls will not go through if you are blocked by someone on WhatsApp. The call will fail to connect, and you won't see any indication that it has been attempted from the recipient's end.
- Group Messages: If you are part of a group with the person who blocked you, you can still send messages in the group chat. However, only the other members of the group will receive your messages; the blocked person will not see them.
- Notification Settings: You won't receive any notifications about changes to the blocked user's profile picture, status, or last seen information, as you are no longer able to view these details.
- Blocked Status Visibility: The other person will not know if you have blocked them unless they try to message or call you and see that their messages are undelivered or calls fail to connect.
In summary, while WhatsApp does allow users to block others, it also provides clear indications that communication is restricted when someone has been blocked. This ensures that users are aware of the limitations imposed by such actions.
