How to check blocked numbers in WhatsApp - briefly?

To check if a number is blocked on WhatsApp, you can try sending a message or making a call to the contact. If the message shows only one check mark (sent but not delivered) and no call goes through, it's likely that the number has been blocked.

How to check blocked numbers in WhatsApp - in detail?

To check blocked numbers in WhatsApp, you can follow these detailed steps:

1. Check Recent Chats: The most straightforward way is to look at your recent chats. If a number is blocked, its messages won't appear in your chat list. To do this:

   • Open WhatsApp.
   • Go to the 'Chats' tab at the bottom of the screen.
   • Scroll through your recent conversations. If you don't see a particular contact, it might be blocked.

2. Search Contacts: You can also search for the contact in your contacts list. To do this:

   • Open WhatsApp.
   • Tap on the 'Chats' tab at the bottom of the screen.
   • Tap on the magnifying glass icon at the top right corner to search for a contact by name or number.
   • If the contact is blocked, they won't appear in the search results.

3. Check Blocked List: WhatsApp doesn't provide a direct list of blocked numbers. However, you can check the blocked contacts through your phone settings:

   • Go to your phone's 'Settings'.
   • Scroll down and tap on 'Apps' or 'Application Manager'.
   • Find and tap on 'WhatsApp'.
   • Tap on 'Blocked Numbers' (the exact wording may vary depending on your device). Here, you might find a list of numbers that you have blocked.
4. Check Message Delivery: If you suspect someone is blocked, try sending them a message. If the message doesn't get delivered and shows only one checkmark (indicating it was sent but not received), it could mean the contact is blocked. However, this method isn't foolproof as there could be other reasons for undelivered messages like network issues or the recipient having you blocked.
5. Use WhatsApp Web: If you use WhatsApp Web, you can also check your contacts there. The process is similar to the mobile app: look through your recent chats and search for the contact.

Remember, blocking a number means they won't be able to call or message you on WhatsApp. It also hides their last seen, online status, and any changes made to their profile photo. If you want to unblock someone, you can do so through your phone's settings under 'Blocked Numbers'.

By following these steps, you should be able to determine which numbers are blocked on your WhatsApp.
