If someone deleted me from WhatsApp, what happens - briefly?
If someone deletes you from WhatsApp, you will no longer be able to see their status updates or changes in their profile picture. Additionally, they will not receive any messages or calls from you unless you are part of a group chat where both of you are members.
If someone deleted me from WhatsApp, what happens - in detail?
If someone deletes you from their WhatsApp contact list, several changes will occur in the messaging dynamics between you and that individual. Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect:
- Message Delivery Status: When the person sends you a message after removing your contact, they won't see the double check marks (✓✓) indicating delivery and read receipts. Instead, they will only see a single check mark (✓), which means the message was sent but not delivered or read.
- Profile Picture and Status Updates: You will no longer be able to see their profile picture, about section, or status updates. Similarly, they won't have access to your profile information if you haven't changed your privacy settings to allow everyone to view it.
- Calls and Media: The person can still call you or send media files like photos, videos, and documents, but these actions won't be reflected in their chat history with you. They will see that the messages were sent but not delivered or read.
- Group Chats: If both of you are part of a group chat, removing you as an individual contact does not affect your membership or visibility within the group. You can still send and receive messages in the group chat normally.
- Future Interactions: If you want to re-establish communication, you will need to add each other back as contacts manually. Once both parties have added each other, messaging will resume with all previous features (delivery receipts, profile pictures, status updates) available again.
- Blocking vs Deletion: It's important to distinguish between being deleted and being blocked. If you are blocked, you won’t be able to see the person's last seen or online status, and any messages you send will remain undelivered (indicated by a single check mark).
In summary, when someone deletes your contact from their WhatsApp, it primarily affects the delivery and read receipts of your messages. While you can still communicate, the interaction will be less transparent until both parties add each other back as contacts.
