If someone is blocked on WhatsApp, can they see the status - briefly?
If you have blocked someone on WhatsApp, they will not be able to view your status updates. This is because blocking prevents them from accessing any of your shared content, including statuses.
If someone is blocked on WhatsApp, can they see the status - in detail?
When a user is blocked on WhatsApp, their ability to view the status of the person who blocked them becomes restricted. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens:
- Blocked User's Status Visibility: If you block someone, they will no longer be able to see your status updates. This includes any photos, videos, or text you share in your status. Essentially, the blocked user is removed from your list of contacts who can view your status.
- Blocked User's Profile Information: In addition to not being able to see your status updates, a blocked user will also be unable to see any changes made to your profile picture, about section, or other personal information that you update on WhatsApp.
- No Notification for the Blocked User: It is important to note that the blocked user will not receive any notification indicating that they have been blocked. They may simply notice that they can no longer see your status updates or profile changes, but there won't be a clear indication that this is due to being blocked.
- Your Visibility to Them: On the other hand, if you block someone, you will still be able to see their status updates and profile information as long as they have not also blocked you. WhatsApp does not automatically reciprocate blocks; each user must block the other individually for mutual blocking to occur.
- Group Interactions: If both you and the blocked user are part of the same group, interactions within that group can still occur. However, the blocked user will not be able to see your status within the group or any changes made to your profile information.
In summary, blocking someone on WhatsApp effectively removes them from your list of contacts who can view your status updates and profile information. This restriction applies only to the person you have blocked and does not affect their ability to interact with you in groups or see other users' statuses.
