How can I tell if someone has unblocked me on WhatsApp - briefly?
To determine if someone has unblocked you on WhatsApp, check the status of your messages and calls. If your message is delivered (indicated by two gray ticks) or your call goes through, it suggests that you have been unblocked.
How can I tell if someone has unblocked me on WhatsApp - in detail?
To determine whether someone has unblocked you on WhatsApp, there are several key indicators to consider:
- Profile Picture Visibility: When a user blocks another user, their profile picture and status updates become invisible to the blocked user. If you suddenly see their profile picture again or can view their status updates, it is a strong indication that they have unblocked you.
- Delivery Receipts: WhatsApp messages have delivery receipts which indicate whether your message was delivered (with one checkmark) or read (with two checkmarks). If you were previously blocked, these receipts would not appear. If you start seeing delivery and read receipts again, it suggests that the person has unblocked you.
- Message Delivery Status: When someone blocks you, your messages will never be delivered, and you won't see any checkmarks next to them. Once the block is lifted, your messages should start delivering normally with the appropriate checkmarks appearing.
- Call Connectivity: If you try to call the person and the calls go through (i.e., ringing sound instead of a direct voicemail or no-response message), it indicates that they have unblocked you. Previously, blocked calls would not connect at all.
- Group Interactions: If the person had added you to any groups before blocking you, and now you find yourself able to see their messages in those groups again, this is another sign of being unblocked. Additionally, if you were removed from groups due to the block and are now re-added, that’s a clear indication as well.
- Direct Messages: The most straightforward way to confirm whether someone has unblocked you is by sending them a direct message. If your message is successfully delivered and read, it confirms that the block has been lifted.
- Block Status in Settings: WhatsApp does not provide a direct notification when someone unblocks you. However, if you had previously tried to view their profile or send a message and received a "blocked" status, you can try again. If you no longer see the blocked status, it means they have unblocked you.
By observing these changes in your interaction with the person on WhatsApp, you can determine whether they have indeed lifted the block and unblocked you.
