How will it be displayed if I am blocked on WhatsApp - briefly?
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, you will not see the recipient's last seen or online status. Additionally, your messages to that person will only show one checkmark (sent), indicating they have not been read.
How will it be displayed if I am blocked on WhatsApp - in detail?
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, there are several indicators that can help you determine this status. WhatsApp does not explicitly notify users when they have been blocked, but certain signs can reveal a blockage:
- Last Seen Timestamp: The "Last Seen" timestamp will no longer be visible to you. This is one of the most telling signs that someone has blocked you, as WhatsApp privacy settings usually allow users to see when their contacts were last online unless they are blocked.
- Profile Picture: You won't be able to see any changes to the contact's profile picture. If the person updates their profile picture after blocking you, it will not reflect on your end. Additionally, if you try to view their profile picture, it may still show the old image or nothing at all.
- Messages: When you send a message to the contact who has blocked you, there will be no checkmarks (one gray, two gray, or two blue ticks) next to your message. This indicates that your message has not been delivered and read by the recipient. Your messages remain in a sent state indefinitely without any confirmation of delivery.
- Calls: If you try to call the contact who has blocked you, the call will not go through. You may hear a ringing tone, but it will eventually fail, indicating that the person is unavailable or has restricted access.
- Group Interaction: In group chats where both of you are members, your messages to the contact might still be delivered and seen by other participants, but there won't be any indication (checkmarks) on your side regarding whether the blocked contact received your message.
- Status Updates: You will not see their status updates in the Status tab. This feature allows users to share text, photos, videos, and GIFs that disappear after 24 hours, but if you are blocked, these updates won't be visible to you.
- Contact Info: The contact’s name might still appear in your list, but attempting to view their full information (such as the "About" section) may not display any details or show outdated information.
These signs collectively suggest that the person has blocked you on WhatsApp. While none of these indicators alone can conclusively prove a blockage, the combination of several of them strongly suggests that your communication with this contact is restricted due to being blocked.
