If someone is blocked on WhatsApp, will they still receive messages - briefly?
If a user is blocked on WhatsApp, they will no longer receive any messages from the person who blocked them. This blockage effectively prevents all communication between the two parties.
If someone is blocked on WhatsApp, will they still receive messages - in detail?
If someone is blocked on WhatsApp, they will not receive any messages from the person who has blocked them. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens when you block or are blocked by someone on WhatsApp:
- Message Delivery: When a user blocks another user, all messages sent by the blocker to the blocked user will fail to deliver. This means that the message status will remain as "Sent" for the blocker and the blocked user will not see any new messages from them in their chat list or notification center.
- Calls: Similar to messages, if someone is blocked on WhatsApp, they won't receive any calls from the person who has blocked them. The call will not go through, and the blocker will see a "call failed" message.
- Status Updates: The blocked user will not be able to view the status updates (photos, videos, text) of the person who has blocked them. However, the blocker can still view the status updates of the blocked user if they choose to do so.
- Group Chats: If a user is blocked by someone in a group chat, they will still be able to see messages and calls from that person within the group. The block only affects one-on-one communication between users.
- Profile Picture and About: After being blocked, users won't be able to view or update each other's profile pictures and "About" section. However, they can still view these details if they are part of the same group chat.
- No Notification: The blocked user will not receive any notification indicating that they have been blocked by someone. The only clue might be the sudden absence of messages or calls from the person who has blocked them.
In summary, blocking someone on WhatsApp effectively cuts off all one-on-one communication between users, including messages and calls. However, it does not affect group chats, status updates, or profile information within those groups.
