If someone has blocked me on WhatsApp, will I be able to see them - briefly?
If you have been blocked by someone on WhatsApp, you will not be able to see their profile picture or status updates. However, any messages sent before the block will still appear in your chat history.
If someone has blocked me on WhatsApp, will I be able to see them - in detail?
If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, the visibility of their profile and messages will change significantly. Here are the key indicators that suggest you have been blocked:
- Profile Picture and Status: You won't be able to see the person's profile picture or status update. These features will appear as blank or unavailable.
- Messages: If you try to send a message, it will only show one tick (indicating that it has been sent from your device), but not two ticks (indicating delivery). The message won't be delivered to the recipient's phone.
- Calls: You won't be able to make voice or video calls to this contact. Any attempt will result in a notification saying that the call could not be completed.
- Group Messages: If you are both part of a group, you can still see the person's messages within the group chat. However, you won't be able to send direct messages or view their profile picture or status from the group chat.
- Last Seen and Online Status: You won't be able to see when they were last online or if they are currently online. This information will be unavailable to you.
In summary, while you can still see the contact in your list, many of the features that allow interaction and visibility will be restricted or disabled. This is WhatsApp's way of respecting the user's privacy who has chosen to block another user.
