If I am blocked in WhatsApp, how can I tell - briefly?
If you suspect you've been blocked on WhatsApp, there are a few indicators to look out for. Firstly, your messages will not be delivered and you won’t see the recipient's last seen or online status. Additionally, any attempts to call them will fail immediately without ringing.
If I am blocked in WhatsApp, how can I tell - in detail?
If you suspect that someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, there are several indicators that can help you determine if this is the case. Here’s a detailed guide to identify if you have been blocked:
- Last Seen and Online Status: One of the most noticeable signs is the disappearance of the 'Last Seen' and 'Online' status next to their name. While these features can be disabled by the user, if they were previously visible and now are not, it could indicate a block.
- Profile Picture: If you can no longer see the person’s profile picture, this might suggest that you have been blocked. Similar to the 'Last Seen' status, users can choose to hide their profile picture from everyone, but if it was visible before and is now missing, a block could be the reason.
- Messages: When you try to send a message, it will show only one check mark (indicating that the message has been sent) instead of two check marks (indicating that the message has been delivered). This is because WhatsApp does not notify you when messages are not delivered due to blocking.
- Calls: Attempting to make a call will show a 'Connecting...' message indefinitely, and the call will never go through. If you are blocked, the call will not ring on their end, and they won’t receive any notification about the missed call.
- Group Behavior: If you are part of a group with this person, you might notice that your messages to them are not being delivered within the group. Additionally, if you try to add them to another group, it will fail without any error message.
- Contact Information: Checking their contact information on WhatsApp might show an absence of recent activity or status updates. If their status or updates were previously visible and are now missing, this could be a sign of being blocked.
- Check with Mutual Contacts: Asking mutual contacts if they can see the person’s 'Last Seen' status, profile picture, or receive messages from them can provide additional insight. If others can see these details while you cannot, it is likely that you have been blocked.
These indicators collectively can help you determine whether you have been blocked on WhatsApp. It’s important to remember that while some of these signs might also occur due to other reasons such as privacy settings or technical issues, the combination of multiple indicators strongly suggests a block.
