How to understand if someone blocked you on WhatsApp - briefly?
To determine if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, check for these signs: your messages will only show one tick (indicating they were sent but not delivered), and you won't be able to see the person's last seen or online status. If both of these conditions are met, it is likely that you have been blocked.
How to understand if someone blocked you on WhatsApp - in detail?
To determine if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, observe the following signs:
- Last Seen: If their profile picture is still visible but there's no last seen or online status, they might have blocked you. This feature allows users to hide their last seen status from specific contacts.
- Messages: When you try to send a message, it won't show the checkmarks (one gray, two gray, or two blue ticks) indicating delivery and read receipts. Instead, you might see one gray tick, but it won't turn into two when delivered, suggesting they haven't received your message.
- Calls: You can't initiate a call to them. If you try, the call will fail immediately, displaying "Connecting..." for a while and then showing "Call Ended" or "Call Failed".
- Profile Picture: Their profile picture won't update. If they change their picture after blocking you, it won't reflect in your chat window as it would with other contacts.
- Group Conversations: You can still see their messages in group chats, but you cannot directly message them or view their profile.
- Add to Contacts: If you attempt to add the contact again using their phone number, WhatsApp will not recognize it as a new contact and won't allow you to send a request to that person.
- Broadcast Lists: You can't add them to your broadcast lists if they have blocked you.
If you notice one or more of these signs, it is likely that the person has blocked you on WhatsApp. However, it's important to note that these indicators are not definitive proof, as some settings and configurations might produce similar results.
