Do calls ring in WhatsApp if I am blocked - briefly?
When you are blocked on WhatsApp, any incoming call from the blocker will not ring on your device. You will also be unable to see their last seen or online status.
Do calls ring in WhatsApp if I am blocked - in detail?
When you are blocked on WhatsApp, the behavior of call notifications can vary depending on several factors. Here is a detailed breakdown of what happens:
- Outgoing Calls: If you attempt to make a call to someone who has blocked you, your call will not go through. You may see a message indicating that the recipient is unavailable or cannot be reached at this time. Your call will never ring on their device, and they will not receive any notification about an incoming call from you.
- Incoming Calls: If someone who has blocked you tries to call you, you will not receive a ringing notification. WhatsApp does not provide any indication that there is an incoming call from the person who blocked you. The call attempt will fail silently on your end, and you will not be aware of it unless the caller tells you they tried to reach you.
- Status Updates: Blocked contacts cannot see your last seen status or online status. Similarly, you will not be able to see theirs. This mutual lack of visibility extends to any changes in profile pictures or about information.
- Messages: Any messages sent by the blocked contact will not be delivered and will remain undelivered until they are unblocked. You will also not receive any notifications for these missed messages. Conversely, if you try to send a message to someone who has blocked you, it will show only one checkmark (indicating it was sent but not received) and will never be delivered.
- Group Chats: If you are in a group chat with the person who blocked you, they can still see your messages and profile picture within that group. However, if they remove you from the group, you will no longer be able to participate or see any updates from that group.
In summary, when you are blocked on WhatsApp, calls do not ring, and you do not receive any notifications of missed calls or messages. The blocking mechanism is designed to prevent all forms of communication between the two parties, ensuring a complete lack of interaction.
