If someone is blocked in WhatsApp, can they see my messages - briefly?
If you block someone on WhatsApp, they will not be able to see your messages. Additionally, they won't receive any notifications about new messages or status updates from you.
If someone is blocked in WhatsApp, can they see my messages - in detail?
When a user is blocked on WhatsApp by another user, several changes occur that affect the visibility of messages. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
Firstly, if you block someone on WhatsApp, they will no longer see your last seen or online status in the chat window. This means that even if they try to view your profile information, they won't be able to see when you were last active. Additionally, any changes to your profile picture or about section will not be visible to them unless they unblock you.
Secondly, messages sent after blocking someone will not be delivered. If the blocked user tries to send a message to you, it will show only one checkmark (indicating that the message was sent but not received). This is because WhatsApp does not deliver messages to users who have been blocked by another user. Essentially, the blocked user will not receive any new messages from you.
Thirdly, the blocked user cannot view your status updates or stories. Any media or text that you share in your status will be inaccessible to them. This is because WhatsApp restricts access to status updates for users who have been blocked by others.
Fourthly, if the blocked user tries to call you via WhatsApp, the call will not connect. WhatsApp calls are also restricted when one user has blocked another. The blocked user will see a message indicating that their call did not connect.
In summary, when someone is blocked on WhatsApp, they cannot see your messages or any other updates from your account. This includes status updates, profile picture changes, and last seen/online information. The blocking feature in WhatsApp ensures that the blocked user has no access to new content or communication attempts from the person who blocked them.
