If someone blocked me in WhatsApp, how do I know - briefly?
If you suspect you've been blocked on WhatsApp, look for these signs: your messages will only show one tick (indicating they haven’t been delivered) and you won't see any changes to the contact's profile picture or status updates.
If someone blocked me in WhatsApp, how do I know - in detail?
If you suspect that someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, there are several indicators to look for that can help confirm your suspicion. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the signs:
- Last Seen and Online Status: One of the most telling signs is the disappearance of the last seen or online status beneath their name. When someone blocks you, you will no longer see when they were last online or if they are currently available. Instead, it will show "Last Seen" with a timestamp that never updates, indicating that your messages may not be reaching them.
- Profile Picture: If the person’s profile picture is no longer visible to you, this could also indicate that you have been blocked. Normally, you should be able to see their profile picture unless they have set their privacy settings to hide it from everyone.
- Messages Not Delivered: When you send a message to someone who has blocked you, the checkmarks next to your message will not turn blue, indicating that your message has not been delivered. Additionally, you won’t see any changes in read receipts (the two checkmarks turning blue) either.
- Calls Do Not Connect: If you try to make a call to the person and it does not go through or shows as "failed" or "not connected," this could be another sign that you have been blocked.
- Group Behavior: If you are in a group chat with the person who has blocked you, their messages will still appear in the group chat. However, you won’t see any updates to their profile picture within the group, and any changes they make to their status will not be visible to you.
- No Updates on Status: If the person frequently updates their status and you stop seeing these updates, it could be a sign that you have been blocked. You can try checking with another contact who is in frequent communication with them to see if they are still receiving status updates.
While none of these signs individually guarantee that you have been blocked, the combination of several of these factors can provide strong evidence. It’s also important to consider that privacy settings might sometimes cause similar behavior, so it’s always best to verify your suspicions through other means if possible.
