If I am blocked on WhatsApp, will messages still be delivered - briefly?
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered to the person who blocked you. They will appear as undelivered in your chat history.
If I am blocked on WhatsApp, will messages still be delivered - in detail?
If you have been blocked by someone on WhatsApp, the behavior of your messages can vary depending on several factors. Typically, when a user blocks another on WhatsApp, the messages sent from the blocked user will not be delivered to the recipient's chat inbox. Instead, these messages are queued and held until the block is removed or expires.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what happens:
- Message Delivery Status: When you send a message to someone who has blocked you, WhatsApp will not show any delivery status indicators such as checkmarks (one for sent, two for delivered). This is because the messages are not reaching the recipient's inbox.
- Queued Messages: Your messages are not lost; they are held in a queue by WhatsApp’s servers. Once the block is lifted or expires, all queued messages will be delivered to the recipient at once. This can happen suddenly and may overwhelm the recipient with a large number of messages at once.
- Read Receipts: Since the messages are not delivered until the block is removed, there will be no read receipts (blue checkmarks) for these messages. The recipient must first see the messages in their chat inbox before they can be marked as read.
- Block Duration: The duration of a block can vary. Some users may temporarily block someone and then unblock them after a short period, while others might leave the block in place permanently. If you suspect you have been blocked, try sending a message; if it consistently fails to deliver or show any delivery status, it is likely that you have been blocked.
- No Notification: The recipient will not receive any notification about your messages while they are blocked. They will only see the messages once the block has been lifted and the queued messages are delivered to their inbox.
In summary, if you are blocked on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered to the recipient's chat inbox immediately. Instead, they will be held by WhatsApp’s servers until the block is removed or expires. At that point, all queued messages will be delivered at once.
