If someone has blocked me on WhatsApp, will I see that they are online - briefly?
If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, you will not be able to see their online status. Blocking prevents you from viewing any updates or changes in the person's availability, including when they are last seen or currently online.
If someone has blocked me on WhatsApp, will I see that they are online - in detail?
If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, the behavior of the "last seen" or "online" status can provide insights into whether you have been blocked. Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect:
- Last Seen Status: When someone blocks you, their "last seen" status will no longer update for your view. This means that you won't be able to see when they were last online. Instead, the timestamp will remain frozen at the time they blocked you.
- Online Status: Similarly, if a contact has blocked you, you will not be able to see their "online" status. WhatsApp does not show the real-time online presence of a user who has blocked you. Instead, it will display the last seen timestamp as mentioned above.
- Profile Picture and Status: Other indicators that someone may have blocked you include changes in their profile picture and status. You won't be able to see updates to their profile picture or status if they have blocked you.
- Messages: When you try to send a message to someone who has blocked you, it will only show one checkmark (indicating that the message was sent but not delivered). This is different from the usual double-check marks you see when messages are successfully delivered and read by the recipient.
- Calls: If you attempt to make a call to this person, it will not go through, and you may receive an error message indicating that the call cannot be completed.
These indicators collectively suggest that if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, you will not see their online status or any updates to their "last seen" time, profile picture, or status. The behavior of messages and calls can also provide additional clues.
