If I block a contact in WhatsApp, will they still receive my messages - briefly?
If you block a contact in WhatsApp, they will not receive your messages after the block is implemented. Until the block takes effect, any messages sent before blocking will be delivered to the recipient.
If I block a contact in WhatsApp, will they still receive my messages - in detail?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, several significant changes occur that affect the communication between you and that person. Firstly, blocking someone prevents them from seeing your profile picture, status updates, and any changes to your "About" information. It also stops their messages from reaching you, which means they will not be able to send you any new messages or calls.
However, it is important to note that if the contact has already sent you a message before you blocked them, those messages will still be in your chat history and can be viewed by you. Similarly, if you have sent a message to the contact before blocking them, they will receive that message. This is because WhatsApp delivers messages immediately upon sending, and blocking a contact does not retroactively prevent messages from being delivered.
In summary, once you block a contact on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to send you new messages or calls. However, any messages sent before the block will still be received by them if they were sent from your end, and any messages they sent to you before the block will remain in your chat history for your viewing.
