If the number is blocked, can I write to WhatsApp - briefly?
If a number is blocked on WhatsApp, you will not be able to send messages to that contact. This block prevents any communication until the block is lifted by the recipient.
If the number is blocked, can I write to WhatsApp - in detail?
If a contact has blocked your number on WhatsApp, you will not be able to send them messages directly. Blocking a number on WhatsApp effectively prevents all communication from that specific user. Here are some details to consider:
- Message Delivery Status: When you try to send a message to a blocked contact, the checkmarks next to your sent message will not turn blue, indicating that the message has not been delivered. This is because WhatsApp does not deliver messages to numbers that have blocked you.
- No Notification for the Blocked Contact: The blocked contact will not receive any notification about your message attempt. They will remain unaware of any communication attempts from your side, as the messages do not reach their device.
- Group Messages: If you are part of a group with the blocked contact, they can still see and interact with your messages within that group setting. However, direct one-on-one messaging will remain blocked.
- Profile Viewing: You will not be able to view their profile picture or status updates if they have blocked you. Similarly, any changes made to your profile will not be visible to them.
- Calls: Similar to messages, you cannot make voice or video calls to a contact that has blocked you. The call will not go through, and the blocked contact will not receive any notification of the call attempt.
- Check Block Status: There is no direct way to check if your number has been blocked by someone on WhatsApp. However, the inability to see their last seen status, profile picture, or delivery confirmation (checkmarks turning blue) can be indicative signs.
In summary, when a contact blocks your number on WhatsApp, all forms of direct communication including messages and calls become impossible. The blocked contact will not receive any of your communications, and you will not see updates from their profile.
