If I delete someone from WhatsApp, will they know - briefly?
If you delete a contact from your WhatsApp, they will not be immediately notified of the action. However, they may notice that they can no longer see your status updates or changes in your profile picture and information.
If I delete someone from WhatsApp, will they know - in detail?
When you delete a contact from your WhatsApp, the other person will not be immediately alerted or notified about your action. However, there are several nuances to consider:
- Group Conversations: If you both are part of a group chat and you delete the contact, they may notice that their messages in the group are no longer marked as read by you. This is because, once deleted, you will not receive any new messages from them, including those sent within group chats.
- Message Status: If you have read receipts enabled, deleting a contact means they won't see when you read their future messages. However, this change only affects new messages sent after the deletion; past message statuses remain unchanged.
- Profile Visibility: After deletion, you will no longer be able to view the profile picture or status updates of the deleted contact. Similarly, if they try to view your profile picture or status, they will not be able to see them either.
- Calls and Multimedia Messages: Deleting a contact also means that any future calls, voice messages, or multimedia messages (photos, videos) from them will not be delivered to you. They may notice that their attempts to reach you are unsuccessful.
In summary, while the person will not receive an explicit notification stating that they have been deleted from your contacts, they might infer it from changes in message statuses and delivery failures in group chats or direct messages.
