If someone is in your block list on WhatsApp, what does it look like - briefly?
If you have blocked someone on WhatsApp, their messages will not be delivered to you and they will appear as "You" in the chat list instead of their name or contact photo. Additionally, you won't receive any calls or status updates from them.
If someone is in your block list on WhatsApp, what does it look like - in detail?
When you add a contact to your block list on WhatsApp, the changes are significant and noticeable. Firstly, any messages sent by the blocked contact will not be delivered. Instead of seeing the message in your chat window, it will remain undelivered on the sender's end with a single checkmark, indicating that WhatsApp could not deliver it due to the block. This means you won’t see any notification or alert for messages from the blocked contact.
Secondly, the blocked contact will no longer appear in your contacts list within WhatsApp. Even if you search for their name or number, they will not show up. This effectively removes them from your chat interface, making it impossible to initiate a conversation with them through WhatsApp.
Thirdly, calls from the blocked contact cannot be received. If the blocked contact tries to call you, the call will fail immediately without even ringing on your device. You won’t receive any missed call notifications or voicemails related to this contact.
Additionally, you won’t see their profile picture, status updates, or any changes they make to their WhatsApp profile. The blocked contact is essentially invisible within the app for you, ensuring that no communication from them reaches your device.
Lastly, if you attempt to send a message to the blocked contact, WhatsApp will notify you that the message could not be delivered because the recipient has been blocked. This serves as a reminder of the block status and prevents any accidental attempts at communication.
In summary, blocking a contact on WhatsApp results in their messages being undelivered, their calls being unable to connect, their profile information becoming unavailable, and their presence removed from your contacts list entirely.
