If a subscriber has blocked my number in WhatsApp, do WhatsApp messages get delivered - briefly?
When a subscriber blocks your number on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered to them. Instead, the messages will only show as sent on your end, indicating that they have been blocked.
If a subscriber has blocked my number in WhatsApp, do WhatsApp messages get delivered - in detail?
If a subscriber has blocked your number on WhatsApp, the delivery of your messages will be significantly impacted. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what happens when you try to send a message to someone who has blocked you:
- Single Tick Indicator: When you send a message to a contact who has blocked you, you will only see one gray tick next to the message. This indicates that your message has been sent from your device but has not been delivered to the recipient's phone. The single tick is the primary indicator that something is amiss with message delivery.
- No Double Ticks: Normally, two ticks (one gray and one blue) appear when a message is successfully delivered and read by the recipient. In this case, since your number has been blocked, you will not see the second tick, whether it’s gray or blue, signifying that the message has not reached the intended recipient.
- No Read Receipts: WhatsApp provides read receipts to inform senders when their messages have been read. If a user has blocked your number, you will not receive any read receipts for the messages sent after the block was implemented. This is because the messages are not being delivered at all.
- No Status Updates: Blocking also restricts you from seeing the recipient's status updates and changes to their profile picture. Additionally, they won’t be able to see any of your status updates or profile picture changes.
- Calls Are Also Affected: Apart from messages, calls are also impacted by a block. If you try to call someone who has blocked you, the call will not go through. You might hear a message saying that the user is unavailable, and your call logs won’t show any record of the attempt.
- No Notification: The recipient will not receive any notification about your messages or calls. Your attempts to communicate will be completely silent on their end.
In summary, when a subscriber has blocked your number in WhatsApp, your messages do not get delivered. The single gray tick is the only indication you will have that your message was sent but not received by the recipient. This block applies not just to text messages but also to calls and status updates, effectively restricting all forms of communication between you and the blocked user.
