If someone blocked you on WhatsApp, what happens - briefly?
If someone blocks you on WhatsApp, your messages will no longer be delivered to them and you won't see their last seen or online status. Additionally, any calls you attempt to make will not go through.
If someone blocked you on WhatsApp, what happens - in detail?
If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, several changes will occur in your interaction with that contact. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what happens:
- Messages and Calls: Any messages or calls you attempt to send to the person who blocked you will not be delivered. Instead, you will see only one checkmark (indicating the message was sent but not delivered) next to your outgoing messages. This is distinct from the usual behavior where two checkmarks indicate delivery and a blue tick confirms that the message has been read.
- Status Updates: You won’t be able to see any updates to the person's profile picture, "About" information, or status updates in real-time. Additionally, if you try to view their status manually by clicking on it, WhatsApp will notify you that the user has blocked you and you cannot view their status.
- Last Seen Information: The last seen timestamp of the person who blocked you will no longer be visible. It will show as "Last seen: ...." with no specific time or date, indicating that they have restricted this information from you.
- Group Interactions: If both of you are part of a group chat, you can still see their messages in the group, and they can see yours. However, if they choose to delete messages for everyone in the group, those messages will not be visible to you. Also, they have the option to report you from the group, which could lead to your removal or further restrictions on your account.
- Blocking Notification: WhatsApp does not send a notification to inform you that someone has blocked you. You may only notice this change in behavior when trying to contact them or check their status/profile updates.
- Contact Information: The person's contact information will remain visible on your device, but attempts to call or message them through WhatsApp will be unsuccessful as described earlier.
Understanding these changes can help you recognize if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp and adjust your communication approach accordingly.
