If I unblock someone in WhatsApp, will their messages arrive - briefly?
If you unblock someone on WhatsApp, their messages will not automatically appear or be delivered to your chat history. You will only receive new messages sent after the unblocking process is complete.
If I unblock someone in WhatsApp, will their messages arrive - in detail?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, the app prevents that person from sending you any further messages. However, if this contact tries to send you a message after being blocked, those messages are not delivered and will remain undelivered until they are unblocked.
Once you decide to unblock someone on WhatsApp, the situation changes:
- Immediate Delivery of Pending Messages: Any messages that were sent by the blocked contact while they were blocked will immediately be delivered to your phone. This means that if there were any undelivered messages during the block period, you will receive them as soon as you unblock the person.
- Future Message Delivery: After unblocking, future messages from this contact will be delivered normally and in real-time, just like messages from any other unblocked contact.
- Notification Visibility: If you had notifications turned on for WhatsApp, you will receive a notification for each of the undelivered messages that are now being sent to your phone after the block is lifted.
- Blocking and Unblocking Frequency: It's important to note that frequent blocking and unblocking can lead to confusion and potentially awkward situations. Therefore, it’s advisable to only block someone if you believe it is necessary for your privacy or safety.
In summary, when you unblock someone on WhatsApp, any messages they sent while blocked will be delivered immediately, and future messages from them will arrive as usual.
