If someone has blocked me on WhatsApp, will I be able to see them online - briefly?
If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, you will not be able to see their online status or any changes in their profile picture. This is because the blocking feature hides such information from your view.
If someone has blocked me on WhatsApp, will I be able to see them online - in detail?
If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, you will not be able to see their online status. When a person blocks another user, several changes occur in the messaging interface to reflect this action. One of the most notable changes is that you will no longer see updates to the other person's profile picture, about section, or last seen status. This means that if the blocked individual is active on WhatsApp, their online status will not be visible to you.
Additionally, any messages you send to the person who has blocked you will have only one checkmark (indicating that the message was sent but not delivered), rather than two checkmarks (which would indicate delivery). This further indicates a disruption in communication due to the block.
It's important to note that even if you try to call the individual who has blocked you, the call will not go through. WhatsApp implements these restrictions to ensure that blocked users cannot disturb or contact the person who has initiated the block.
In summary, being blocked on WhatsApp means you lose visibility into the other person's online status and other profile information. This is part of WhatsApp’s design to respect user privacy and prevent unwanted communication.
