If I am blocked in WhatsApp, can I see the avatar - briefly?
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, you will still be able to view the contact's profile picture or avatar. However, this does not mean that they have unblocked you; it simply indicates that their privacy settings allow anyone to see their avatar.
If I am blocked in WhatsApp, can I see the avatar - in detail?
If you are blocked by someone on WhatsApp, your ability to view their profile picture may be restricted. When a user blocks another user on WhatsApp, several changes occur in the way information is displayed between them. One of the most notable changes is that the blocker's profile picture and status updates become invisible to the person who has been blocked.
This means that if you have been blocked by someone, you will not be able to see their avatar (profile picture) or any updates they make to their status. WhatsApp implements this privacy measure to ensure that users who have been blocked do not have access to personal information that the blocker wishes to keep private.
In addition to the profile picture and status updates being hidden, messages sent by the blocked user will also fail to deliver, indicated by a single check mark instead of the usual two check marks that appear when a message is successfully delivered and read. This further emphasizes the privacy controls WhatsApp puts in place for users who choose to block others.
Therefore, if you are unable to see someone's avatar on WhatsApp, it is possible that you have been blocked by them.
