Can I send a message in WhatsApp if the number in the phone is blocked - briefly?
Yes, you can send a message on WhatsApp even if the contact's number is blocked on your phone. However, the recipient will not receive the message unless they are in your contacts list or have saved your number.
Can I send a message in WhatsApp if the number in the phone is blocked - in detail?
If your WhatsApp contact has blocked you, it becomes impossible to send them messages directly through the app. When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, several changes occur:
- Message Delivery Status: You will no longer see checkmarks next to your messages indicating delivery or read status. This is because the messages are not being delivered to the blocked contact's phone.
- Profile Picture and Status Updates: You won’t be able to view their profile picture, last seen status, or any updates they post in their status section.
- Call Functionality: Both voice calls and video calls will fail. WhatsApp does not provide a ringing tone; instead, the call immediately fails if the number is blocked.
- Group Interactions: If you both are members of a group, you can still send messages to the group, but the blocked contact won’t receive your direct messages or see them in the chat log. They will only see messages from other group members.
- Blocked Contact's Experience: The blocked contact won’t receive any notifications about your messages or missed calls. Your attempts to communicate will appear as if they are coming from an unknown number.
- No Indication of Blocking: WhatsApp does not notify you when you have been blocked by a contact. You may suspect it based on the lack of delivery checkmarks and other indicators mentioned above.
In summary, while WhatsApp allows you to send messages as usual from your end, those messages will not reach the recipient if their number is blocked. The only way to regain communication is for the blocked contact to unblock your number or for you to use a different number to contact them.
