If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, you will no longer see updates to their profile picture or status. Additionally, messages sent to them will not show the double blue checkmarks indicating delivery and read receipts.
How is it displayed in WhatsApp if you are blocked - in detail?
If you suspect that someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, there are several indicators to look out for. These signs can help you determine whether your contact has indeed blocked you or not. Here is a detailed breakdown of what to expect:
- Single Tick: When you send a message to the contact who may have blocked you, you will notice that it only shows one tick next to the message. This indicates that the message was sent but not delivered. Normally, messages show two ticks once they are delivered and read by the recipient.
- No Profile Picture: The profile picture of the person who has blocked you will no longer be visible. Instead, you will see a default icon or blank space where their picture used to be. This is one of the most telling signs that you have been blocked.
- Last Seen Status: You will not be able to see the 'last seen' status of the contact who has blocked you. The feature that shows when the person was last active on WhatsApp will disappear, and you might see a message saying "You can't see this contact's last seen."
- No Status Updates: If the contact has set their status updates to be visible only to certain contacts, and you are no longer one of those contacts due to being blocked, you will not be able to view their status updates.
- Messages Not Delivered: As mentioned earlier, your messages will not be delivered to the person who has blocked you. This means they will not receive any of your texts, images, videos, or calls until they unblock you.
- Calls Do Not Connect: If you try to make a call to the contact through WhatsApp, it will show as 'Connecting' but will never actually connect. You will hear a message saying "Your call did not connect. Please try again later."
- No Group Addition: If you attempt to add the person who has blocked you to a group, WhatsApp will display an error message stating that you cannot add this contact to the group.
These signs collectively indicate that you have been blocked on WhatsApp. It is important to note that while these are strong indicators, they may not always be conclusive, as other factors such as network issues or the person's privacy settings could also cause similar behaviors. However, if multiple of these signs are present, it is highly likely that you have been blocked by the contact in question.
