If you are blocked in WhatsApp, do calls go through - briefly?
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, voice and video calls will not go through to the person who has blocked you. This is a clear indication of being blocked as messages and calls are restricted from reaching the blocker's device.
If you are blocked in WhatsApp, do calls go through - in detail?
If you have been blocked on WhatsApp, the ability to make calls to the person who has blocked you will be severely impacted. When someone blocks your number on WhatsApp, it effectively restricts all forms of communication initiated by you. This includes not only text messages and media sharing but also voice and video calls.
When you attempt to call a contact who has blocked you, several indicators may suggest that your call will not go through:
- Call Status: Your call status will remain as "Ringing" indefinitely. The person on the other end will not receive any notification about an incoming call.
- No Response: There will be no response from the recipient, and you will not be able to leave a voicemail message.
- Profile Picture Visibility: You may notice that the profile picture of the contact who has blocked you is no longer visible. This is because WhatsApp hides the profile picture of blockers from the blocked users as an additional indicator of the communication block.
- Message Delivery: Any messages sent to the contact will also fail to deliver and will remain with a single checkmark, indicating that they have not been received by the recipient.
- Group Interaction: If you are part of a group together with the person who blocked you, your messages in the group chat may still be delivered, but any direct communication attempts outside the group will fail.
In summary, if you are blocked on WhatsApp, voice and video calls initiated by you will not go through to the contact who has blocked your number. This is part of WhatsApp's design to respect users' privacy and prevent unwanted communication from blocked contacts.
