If I block a contact in WhatsApp, will they see that I viewed their status - briefly?
If you block a contact in WhatsApp, they will not be able to see your online/last seen status or any read receipts from your messages. However, it's important to note that blocking someone does not retroactively remove the ability for them to have seen your status before being blocked.
If I block a contact in WhatsApp, will they see that I viewed their status - in detail?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, several changes occur in your interaction with that user. One of the primary effects is that the blocked contact is no longer able to view your profile picture, read your status updates, or see when you were last online. This means that if you have viewed their status update before blocking them, they will not receive any notification indicating that you have done so after the block has been implemented.
Furthermore, once a contact is blocked, they are effectively removed from your contacts list and can no longer send messages or make calls to you. Consequently, they cannot view any of your activities on WhatsApp, including status views. This ensures a higher level of privacy and control over who can access information about your online presence.
In summary, blocking a contact on WhatsApp not only prevents them from reaching out to you but also safeguards your activity history from being visible to that user. Therefore, if you block someone after viewing their status, they will not be able to see that you viewed it.
