If I block someone on WhatsApp, will they know - briefly?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they will not be explicitly notified of the action. However, certain indicators might suggest that they have been blocked, such as not being able to see your profile picture or status updates.
If I block someone on WhatsApp, will they know - in detail?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, the other person will not be immediately notified of your action. However, there are several indicators that can suggest to them that they have been blocked:
- Message Delivery Status: If you previously had read receipts enabled and they see that their messages to you are no longer being delivered or read, this could indicate that you have blocked them. WhatsApp will only show one checkmark (sent) instead of two (delivered).
- Profile Information: They will not be able to view your profile picture, status updates, or any changes in your "About" section. If they try to access this information, it may appear as if your profile is empty or not updated.
- Calls and Messages: Any calls or messages they attempt to send will not go through. They might see a notification saying that their message was not delivered, which can be another hint that they have been blocked.
- Group Interaction: If you are both part of the same group, the other person may still see your messages in the group chat. However, they won't receive any notifications about your status updates or changes to your profile picture. Additionally, if you leave a group and then rejoin it, they will no longer be able to invite you back into the group.
- Last Seen Status: If the other person was previously able to see when you were last active on WhatsApp, blocking them will prevent them from seeing this information in the future.
While these signs can suggest that someone has been blocked, it's important to note that there could be other reasons for these changes, such as network issues or problems with their own device. Therefore, they may not immediately conclude that they have been blocked based on these indicators alone.
