If I am on the WhatsApp blacklist, is my status visible - briefly?
If you are on someone's WhatsApp block list, your status will not be visible to them. This feature ensures that blocked users cannot see any updates from the person who has blocked them.
If I am on the WhatsApp blacklist, is my status visible - in detail?
If you find yourself on someone's WhatsApp blacklist, you might be wondering whether your status remains visible to them. The answer lies in understanding how WhatsApp's privacy settings and blacklists function.
When a user adds you to their blacklist, they effectively restrict all forms of communication with you, including messages, calls, and even profile picture updates. However, the visibility of your WhatsApp status is not directly affected by this action. Here’s why:
WhatsApp offers three levels of privacy for your status updates—My Contacts, My Contacts Except, and Only Share With. If someone has placed you on their blacklist, it means they have chosen to block all forms of contact from you. However, this does not inherently change the visibility settings of your status.
For instance, if you have set your status visibility to "My Contacts," those who have blocked you will still be able to see your status updates because the blacklist function is designed primarily for communication restrictions rather than content visibility. Conversely, if you choose "Only Share With" and exclude certain contacts, those excluded users won't see your status regardless of whether they have blocked you or not.
In summary, being on someone’s WhatsApp blacklist does not automatically make your status invisible to them. The visibility of your status is governed by the privacy settings you choose for it, rather than the actions taken by others to block you.
