If a subscriber has blocked messages in WhatsApp - briefly?
If a subscriber has blocked messages in WhatsApp, it means they have chosen to disable notifications or alerts from the app. This can be done through the app's settings to prevent disturbances while still allowing the user to access messages manually.
If a subscriber has blocked messages in WhatsApp - in detail?
When a subscriber blocks messages from a sender on WhatsApp, several changes occur that affect the communication between the two parties. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens:
- Message Delivery Status: If you send a message to someone who has blocked you, it will remain with one checkmark (instead of two) in your chat window. This indicates that the message was sent but not delivered to the recipient's phone. The second checkmark is reserved for messages that have been successfully delivered and read by the recipient.
- Read Receipts: You won't receive read receipts (the two blue checkmarks) for your messages. This means you can't tell if the blocked person has seen your message or not.
- Profile Picture: If the person who blocked you changes their profile picture, you won't be able to see it. Your view will remain on the last image they had before blocking you.
- Status Updates: You won't be able to see their status updates or stories. This is because WhatsApp Status and Stories are only shared with contacts who aren't blocked.
- Calls: If you try to call the person who has blocked you, your call will not go through. Instead, it will show a "call failed" message. Additionally, you won't be able to see their last seen or online status in the chat window.
- Group Conversations: Even if both of you are part of a group conversation, the person who has blocked you can still block you from sending messages within that group. If they do so, your messages will not be delivered to anyone in the group.
- Forwarded Messages: You won't be able to add the person who has blocked you as a forwarding destination for any message. This means even if someone else sends you a message, you can't forward it to the person who has blocked you.
- Block Notification: WhatsApp does not send a notification to users when they have been blocked by someone. However, if you suspect that you might have been blocked, you can check for the above signs.
