If a blocked contact writes to me in WhatsApp, will I see it - briefly?
If you have blocked a contact on WhatsApp, they will not be able to send you messages or see your online status. As a result, you will not receive or see any messages from the blocked contact.
If a blocked contact writes to me in WhatsApp, will I see it - in detail?
If you have blocked a contact on WhatsApp, you will not receive their messages. This is because blocking a contact effectively removes them from your contacts list and prevents any communication from that individual. Here’s how this works in detail:
When a contact is blocked on WhatsApp, several changes occur to ensure that the user experiences no further interaction with the blocked contact. Firstly, messages sent by the blocked contact will not appear in your chat list or notifications. You won't receive any alerts indicating that you have received a new message from them.
Additionally, even if the blocked contact attempts to send you a message, they will be unable to do so successfully. Instead of seeing a delivery confirmation (the double check marks), the sender will only see a single check mark, which indicates that the message was sent but not delivered. This is WhatsApp's way of protecting users from unwanted communication and ensuring that blocked contacts remain inaccessible.
Furthermore, if you decide to unblock the contact at any point, you won’t be able to see the messages they sent while they were blocked. These messages will not be stored or delivered once the block is lifted. Therefore, it's important to understand that blocking a contact on WhatsApp is a definitive action that prevents all forms of future communication from that individual.
In summary, if a blocked contact writes to you in WhatsApp, you will not see their messages due to the comprehensive nature of WhatsApp’s block feature. This ensures that your privacy and security are maintained by preventing any unwanted interaction with blocked contacts.
