If a person is blocked on WhatsApp, can they see messages - briefly?
If you are blocked by someone on WhatsApp, you will not be able to see their messages or status updates. The block effectively cuts off communication from the person who has blocked you.
If a person is blocked on WhatsApp, can they see messages - in detail?
When a person is blocked on WhatsApp, their ability to view messages from the blocker is severely limited. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens:
- No New Messages: The blocked user will not receive any new messages sent by the person who blocked them. This means that any attempts to communicate via text, photos, videos, or voice notes will be unsuccessful from the blocker's end.
- Undelivered Notifications: The blocked user will not see any notification indicating that a message was sent. There won't be any indication on their chat list that something is pending.
- No Profile Picture or Status Updates: Blocked users cannot view the profile picture, status updates, or last seen information of the blocker. This further restricts their ability to interact or know anything about the blocker's activity.
- Calls and Media: The blocked user will be unable to call the person who blocked them. Similarly, any media files sent by the blocker (such as photos, videos, documents) will not be delivered to the blocked user’s device.
- No Group Interactions: If both users are part of a group, the blocked user can still see messages from others in the group but won't receive any direct messages from the person who blocked them. The blocker, however, has the option to remove the blocked user from the group if they choose to do so.
- Read Receipts: The blocked user will not be able to see read receipts (double blue ticks) for any messages they send to the blocker. This further indicates that their messages are not being delivered or read by the blocker.
In summary, when a person is blocked on WhatsApp, they essentially lose all visibility and interaction capabilities with the blocker’s account. The blocking feature is designed to ensure privacy and prevent unwanted communication effectively.
