If I block a contact in WhatsApp, will they still be able to send me messages - in detail?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, several changes occur that impact the communication between you and the blocked user. Firstly, any messages or calls initiated by the blocked contact will not be delivered to you. This means they will not see the double-check marks next to their sent messages, indicating that the message has not been read. Additionally, any calls made from the blocked contact will go straight to voicemail without ringing on your device.
However, it's important to note that blocking a contact does not prevent them from sending messages or making calls indefinitely. The block only affects their ability to communicate with you within the WhatsApp application. They can still attempt to send messages or make calls, but these efforts will be unsuccessful as long as the block remains in place.
In summary, if you block a contact on WhatsApp, they will not be able to successfully send you messages or make calls through the app. The block acts as a barrier that prevents their attempts from reaching your device.
