If I unblock a contact in WhatsApp, will they receive a notification - briefly?
If you unblock a contact in WhatsApp, they will not receive a notification about this action. The block status is private and only visible to the person who has been blocked or unblocked.
If I unblock a contact in WhatsApp, will they receive a notification - in detail?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, the blocked contact does not automatically receive a notification that they have been blocked. However, if you choose to unblock them later, the situation changes slightly.
Once you decide to unblock a contact, they will not be immediately notified that their previous blocked status has been lifted. Instead, your messages and calls to this contact will start going through normally as if nothing had happened. The unblocking process is designed to be discreet and does not send any explicit alerts to the other party.
It's important to note that while there is no direct notification sent upon unblocking, the blocked contact may infer changes based on their ability to communicate with you again. For example, if they try to message or call you after being unblocked and the communication goes through successfully, they might deduce that they were previously blocked.
In summary, while there is no explicit notification sent when you unblock a contact in WhatsApp, the change in communication status can potentially alert the other person to the fact that they have been unblocked.
