If a number is blocked on WhatsApp, can they still see your status - briefly?
If you block someone on WhatsApp, they will not be able to see your status updates. This is because the blocking feature effectively cuts off all forms of communication and visibility between the two accounts.
If a number is blocked on WhatsApp, can they still see your status - in detail?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, several communication features are restricted to ensure privacy and prevent unwanted interactions. One of the key aspects affected by blocking someone is their ability to view your status updates.
WhatsApp status allows users to share text, photos, videos, and GIFs that disappear after 24 hours. When you block a number, they are no longer able to see your status updates. This means any new status you post will not be visible to the blocked contact. Additionally, if you had previously shared your status with this contact, they will lose access to it immediately upon being blocked.
However, there is an important caveat to consider: if a blocked contact was part of a group where you are sharing your status, they might still see it within that group context. WhatsApp does not prevent group members from viewing status updates shared by other members, even if those members have been individually blocked. Therefore, for complete privacy, it is advisable to leave any groups where the blocked contact is also a member.
In summary, blocking a number on WhatsApp effectively prevents them from seeing your status updates in one-on-one interactions. However, you should be mindful of group settings if you wish to maintain full control over who can view your status.
