How to know if I have been blocked on WhatsApp - briefly?
To determine if you've been blocked on WhatsApp, check for these signs: your messages to the contact are only showing one gray tick (indicating they haven't been delivered), and you can no longer see their profile picture or status updates.
How to know if I have been blocked on WhatsApp - in detail?
To determine if you've been blocked on WhatsApp, consider the following detailed signs and methods:
- Last Seen: If you can no longer see the contact's last seen or online status, it might indicate that you've been blocked. However, this isn't definitive, as users can choose to hide their last seen from everyone.
- Profile Picture: You won't be able to see updates to the contact's profile picture if you're blocked. If there was a picture before and it suddenly disappears or stops updating, this could signify that you've been blocked.
- Messages: Your messages will have only one checkmark (sent but not delivered). This is different from when they are simply offline, as in that case, your messages would eventually get two checkmarks once delivered. If the contact is online and you still only see one checkmark, this could mean you've been blocked.
- Calls: You won't be able to call the person if you're blocked. WhatsApp calls will fail to connect or go straight to voicemail without ringing.
- Group Chats: If you're in a group chat with this contact, try removing them from the group. If you can't remove them, it might indicate that they've blocked you. However, this method isn't always reliable, as group admin privileges also affect this.
- Contact Info: Sometimes, when you’re blocked, the person’s name won’t display correctly in your contacts list or their information may disappear entirely.
- Status Updates: You won't be able to see any updates to the contact's status if they have blocked you. This includes changes in their profile picture, about section, and any status messages they post.
