If you are blocked on WhatsApp, do messages still arrive - briefly?

When a user is blocked on WhatsApp, messages sent by the blocker will not be delivered to the blocked user's phone. However, if the blocker sends a message before the blocking occurs, that message may still arrive in the blocked user's inbox.

If you are blocked on WhatsApp, do messages still arrive - in detail?

If you are blocked on WhatsApp, the delivery of your messages will indeed be affected. The primary indication that someone has blocked you is that your messages will no longer display a single checkmark, which signifies that they have not been delivered to the recipient's phone. Typically, when a message is sent and successfully delivered, it shows two checkmarks—one for sending and one for delivery. If only a single checkmark appears, it means the message has left your device but may not have reached the recipient’s phone.

Additionally, if you are blocked, any attempts to call the person via WhatsApp will fail to connect. You might see a message stating that the call cannot be completed as the number is unreachable or busy. Furthermore, you won't be able to see the last seen status or the online status of the contact who has blocked you.

Another tell-tale sign is the inability to view the profile picture of the person who has blocked you. WhatsApp allows users to set their profile picture visibility to different settings, but if you are blocked, you won't be able to see their profile picture regardless of their privacy settings.

In summary, when someone blocks you on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered, and you will lose the ability to call or view certain details about that contact’s status and profile.
