If I am blocked on WhatsApp, do messages still arrive - briefly?
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered to the person who has blocked you. This is because WhatsApp prevents any communication between blocked users for privacy reasons.
If I am blocked on WhatsApp, do messages still arrive - in detail?
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, the behavior of your messages can vary depending on several factors. When a user is blocked by another user, the blocking action essentially prevents any further communication from occurring between the two parties. This means that if you attempt to send a message to someone who has blocked you, it will not be delivered and you will not receive any notification indicating delivery failure.
However, there are some nuances to consider:
- Message Delivery Status: When you send a message to someone who has blocked you, the message will remain in a pending state on your end. You will see one check mark next to the message, indicating that it was sent from your device but not delivered to the recipient's device. The second check mark, which confirms delivery, will never appear.
- Read Receipts: If read receipts are enabled, you will not receive any confirmation that the message has been read by the recipient. This feature is disabled for blocked contacts, ensuring that no information about your messages reaches them.
- Group Chats: If you and the person who blocked you are part of a group chat, you will still be able to see each other's messages within that group. However, they have the ability to restrict or report your messages within the group. If they choose to do so, their actions may impact how your messages are seen by others in the group.
- Profile Picture and Status: When you are blocked, you will no longer be able to see the profile picture, status updates, or any changes made to their profile information. This is a clear indicator that you have been blocked.
- Calls: Similar to messages, if you try to call someone who has blocked you, the call will not go through. You may receive a notification indicating that the call could not be connected, but no further details will be provided.
In summary, when you are blocked on WhatsApp, your messages do not arrive at the recipient's device. They remain undelivered and you will see only one check mark next to them. This blocking action is designed to prevent any form of communication between the two parties, ensuring that neither messages nor calls can be received or seen by the person who has blocked you.
