I blocked a subscriber in WhatsApp, what does he see - briefly?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to view your profile picture or status updates. Additionally, messages sent after the block will not be delivered to their device.
I blocked a subscriber in WhatsApp, what does he see - in detail?
When you block a subscriber on WhatsApp, the experience for the blocked user is significantly limited. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what they will and won't be able to do:
- Message Delivery: The blocked user will not be able to send messages or calls to your number. Any message they attempt to send will fail to deliver, and there will be no indication on their end that the message was not sent successfully.
- Status Updates: They won't see any updates to your profile picture, about section, or status. Similarly, you won’t be able to view their status updates either.
- Calls: All incoming calls from the blocked user will be automatically declined. There is no ringing or notification for the blocked user, and they won't see any indication that their call was rejected.
- Group Conversations: If you both are part of a group conversation, the blocked user can still see your messages within the group chat. However, they won't be able to contact you individually or view your profile. You also have the option to remove them from any groups you both share.
- Profile Visibility: The blocked user will not be able to view your last seen timestamp, online status, or read receipts (the blue ticks that indicate message delivery and reading).
- Media Sharing: They won't be able to send you any media files such as photos, videos, documents, or voice notes. Attempts to do so will fail silently.
- Contact List: The blocked user remains in your contact list, but their name and profile picture are no longer visible to you. Similarly, if they search for your number on WhatsApp, it won't appear in their contacts list either.
- Blocking Notification: The blocked user will not receive any notification informing them that they have been blocked. However, they might suspect something is amiss if their messages are consistently failing to deliver and calls are being declined without explanation.
By blocking a subscriber on WhatsApp, you effectively restrict their ability to communicate with you while maintaining your privacy and control over the interaction.
