If a person blocked you on WhatsApp, what is visible - briefly?
If a person has blocked you on WhatsApp, several changes will be noticeable. You will no longer see the contact's last seen or online status, and any messages you send will only display one check mark, indicating they were sent but not delivered.
If a person blocked you on WhatsApp, what is visible - in detail?
If a person has blocked you on WhatsApp, several changes in visibility and interaction options become apparent. Here are the details:
- Profile Picture: The profile picture of the person who blocked you will no longer be visible to you. Instead, you'll see a default image or avatar that WhatsApp uses for contacts without a profile picture.
- Status Updates: You won’t be able to see their status updates anymore. This includes text, images, videos, and any other content they share in their status.
- Last Seen: The "last seen" timestamp will not update for the contact who has blocked you. It will remain static at the time when they last interacted with you before blocking you.
- Read Receipts: You won’t receive read receipts (blue ticks) or delivery receipts (gray ticks) for messages sent to them. This means you won't know if your messages have been delivered or read.
- Message Delivery Indicator: The checkmarks next to your messages will remain gray, indicating that your message has not been delivered. This is because the delivery status is not updated for blocked contacts.
- Calls: You won't be able to call this person via WhatsApp. The call button will be disabled, and you’ll see a message stating that the contact cannot receive calls.
- Broadcast Messages: If you try to add them to a broadcast list, you'll encounter an error message indicating that they are not allowed in your broadcast lists.
- Group Chats: If the person who blocked you is part of a group chat, you won’t be able to see their messages or any changes they make within the group (like changing the group icon). However, they will still see your messages and any changes you make in the group.
- Forwarded Messages: You won't be able to forward messages to this contact. Attempting to do so will result in an error message.
- Contact Information: The basic information like their name, phone number, and other details listed under their contact card will remain visible. However, any changes they make to their profile after blocking you won’t be reflected on your end.
These visibility changes are designed to respect the privacy of the person who blocked you while maintaining a clear indication that communication with them is restricted.
