If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, can you see when they were last online - briefly?
If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, you will not be able to see their last seen status or any updates to their profile picture. This is because the blocking feature in WhatsApp restricts access to such information, maintaining the privacy of the user who has initiated the block.
If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, can you see when they were last online - in detail?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, your ability to view their last seen status is affected in several ways. WhatsApp’s privacy settings allow users to control who can see their last seen timestamp, read receipts, and profile photo. If a user has chosen to hide this information from everyone or specific contacts, including those they have blocked, you will not be able to view their last seen status.
However, if the person who blocked you has set their privacy settings to allow all contacts to see their last seen status, you might still see it even after being blocked. This is because WhatsApp does not immediately revoke access to this information upon blocking someone; the change in visibility typically takes some time to reflect.
It's important to note that if you have been blocked, your attempts to message or call the person will fail to deliver, and you will not see any updates to their profile picture, about section, or status updates. These are clear indicators that you have been blocked by the user.
In summary, while being blocked on WhatsApp generally restricts your ability to view certain information, including last seen status, the exact visibility depends on the blocker’s privacy settings. If they allow all contacts to see their last seen status, it might still be visible temporarily after blocking you.
