If I am blocked in WhatsApp, can I see the person - briefly?
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, you will not be able to see the person's profile picture or last seen status. You can still send messages, but they will only show a single checkmark and will not be delivered.
If I am blocked in WhatsApp, can I see the person - in detail?
If you have been blocked on WhatsApp by someone, it significantly limits your ability to interact with that individual. However, being blocked does not entirely prevent you from seeing their profile details. Here's what you can and cannot see:
- Profile Picture: You will still be able to view the contact's profile picture if it is set as public. WhatsApp allows users to choose whether their profile picture is visible to everyone, only their contacts, or nobody.
- Status Updates: If you are blocked, you won't see any updates to the person’s status. WhatsApp statuses are private and can only be viewed by those who are not blocked.
- Last Seen/Online Status: You will not be able to see when they were last online or if they are currently online. This feature is also restricted for users who have blocked you.
- Read Receipts: If you send a message after being blocked, you won't receive read receipts (the double check marks that indicate the message has been read).
- Calls: You can attempt to call the person, but your call will not go through if they have blocked you.
In summary, while being blocked on WhatsApp restricts many features and interactions, it does not entirely hide the person's profile picture from public view. However, other details such as status updates, last seen/online status, read receipts, and successful calls are inaccessible to you once you have been blocked.
