If I am blocked on WhatsApp, what can I see - briefly?
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, you will notice that your messages to the person who blocked you will only show one check mark (indicating they were sent but not delivered) instead of two check marks. Additionally, you will be unable to see their last seen or online status, nor will their profile picture be visible to you.
If I am blocked on WhatsApp, what can I see - in detail?
If you suspect that someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, there are several indicators you can look for to confirm this. Understanding these signs can help you navigate the situation effectively.
Firstly, when you try to send a message to the person who may have blocked you, you will notice that your messages do not deliver and instead show only one check mark. This indicates that the message has left your device but has not been delivered to the recipient’s device. Normally, two check marks would appear once the message is successfully delivered, and two blue check marks would indicate that it has been read. However, if you are blocked, these additional checks will not appear.
Secondly, you might find that your attempts to view the person's profile picture or status update result in failure. WhatsApp restricts access to such information when a user is blocked by another. If you try to view their profile picture, it may not load or appear as a default icon instead of the actual photo. Similarly, trying to view their last seen status or online status will likely show no recent activity or time, further hinting at being blocked.
Additionally, if you are part of a group with this person and they have blocked you, you may still see their messages in the group chat. However, any changes made by them to their profile picture, about section, or status will not be visible to you. This restriction applies even within the group setting.
Lastly, if you try to call the person who has potentially blocked you, your call will likely go unanswered and may not even ring on their end. WhatsApp calls function differently when a block is in place; the recipient does not receive any notification of the incoming call, and it does not disturb them.
By observing these details carefully, you can determine whether you have been blocked on WhatsApp. It’s important to respect the privacy decisions of others and avoid trying to circumvent any blocks that may be in place.
