If you are blocked in WhatsApp, can the other person see it - briefly?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, they cannot see your messages or any attempts to contact them through the app. However, there is no direct notification that informs the blocker about the block; thus, they remain unaware unless explicitly told by you or another source.
If you are blocked in WhatsApp, can the other person see it - in detail?
If you are blocked by someone on WhatsApp, the other person cannot see your messages or online status. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens when you are blocked:
- Message Delivery: When you send a message to the person who has blocked you, it will not be delivered. You will see one check mark (indicating that your message was sent), but it won't turn into two check marks (which indicates delivery) or transform into a blue bubble (signaling that the message has been read).
- Online Status: The person who blocked you will not be able to see your online status, meaning they cannot tell if you are currently active on WhatsApp. Similarly, you won't be able to see their online status either.
- Profile Picture and About Section: If the other person has blocked you, you will no longer be able to see changes in their profile picture or the information they have provided in the "About" section of their profile. This is because WhatsApp restricts access to these features for blocked users.
- Calls: You won't be able to call the person who has blocked you, and they won't receive any notifications about your calls. Similarly, if they try to call you after blocking you, their calls will not go through, and they won't see your last seen status or online indicator.
- No Notification: The other person will not receive a notification that you have tried to contact them. They simply won't see your messages or calls in their WhatsApp interface.
- Group Chats: If both of you are part of the same group chat, you can still send messages to the group, but the blocked user will not receive your individual messages. Your messages will appear as if they were sent by a normal participant, and the blocked user won't get any indication that you tried to contact them directly within the group.
In summary, being blocked on WhatsApp means that the other person cannot see your messages or online status. This feature is designed to protect users' privacy and ensure that unwanted communications are effectively filtered out.
