If I block a business account on WhatsApp, will they see it - briefly?
If you block a business account on WhatsApp, the business will not be able to send messages or make calls to your number. However, they may still see your last seen status and any messages sent before the block was implemented.
If I block a business account on WhatsApp, will they see it - in detail?
When you block a business account on WhatsApp, the visibility of this action to the other party is an important consideration. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Firstly, when you block a business account, they will no longer be able to send you messages or see your last seen status. This means that any attempt to communicate with you from their end will fail, and they won't receive any notifications indicating that their messages were delivered.
Secondly, the business account will not receive a specific notification stating that they have been blocked. WhatsApp does not provide such alerts to ensure user privacy and security. Therefore, the other party might only suspect being blocked if their messages are consistently failing to reach you and there is no last seen status update from your end.
Thirdly, if the business account tries to call you, the call will not go through, further indicating that something may have changed in terms of your availability on WhatsApp. However, similar to messaging, they won't receive a direct notification about being blocked.
Lastly, if the business account has previously saved your contact information, it might still see your profile picture and any information you've set as publicly visible. This is because blocking primarily affects communication rather than profile visibility settings.
In summary, while blocking a business account on WhatsApp will prevent them from communicating with you effectively, they won’t receive an explicit notification that they have been blocked. The changes in their ability to communicate with you may serve as indirect indicators of the block.
