If I block a contact in WhatsApp and then unblock them, will messages arrive - briefly?
If you block a contact on WhatsApp and later unblock them, any messages sent during the time they were blocked will not be delivered to your phone. Only new messages sent after you have unblocked the contact will arrive.
If I block a contact in WhatsApp and then unblock them, will messages arrive - in detail?
If you block a contact in WhatsApp and subsequently unblock them, the delivery of messages is subject to certain conditions and limitations. Here’s a detailed explanation:
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, any messages sent from that blocked contact will not be delivered to your phone. This means that if someone attempts to send you a message while they are blocked, their message will remain undelivered in the sender's chat history with an indication stating it was not delivered.
However, once you unblock the contact, messages sent from them after the block was lifted will be delivered normally. It’s important to note that messages sent during the time they were blocked will not arrive retroactively upon unblocking. WhatsApp does not store or forward undelivered messages once the block is removed; only new messages sent after you have unblocked the contact will be received.
In summary, if you block a contact and later decide to unblock them, only the messages sent after the unblocking process will arrive in your chat history. Messages sent during the period they were blocked will not be delivered.
