If you are blocked on WhatsApp, how many checkmarks are there - briefly?
If you have been blocked on WhatsApp, the number of check marks visible next to your messages will be reduced from two to one. This indicates that the message has not been delivered and is likely due to being blocked by the recipient.
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, how many checkmarks are there - in detail?
When a user is blocked by someone on WhatsApp, the visible indicators of message delivery and read status change. Normally, messages sent to contacts who have not blocked you will display one or two checkmarks:
- A single checkmark indicates that your message has been sent but not yet delivered.
- Two checkmarks signify that your message has been successfully delivered to the recipient's device.
However, if you are blocked by a contact, the behavior of these checkmarks changes. Here is what you should expect:
- You will see only one checkmark next to your message, indicating that it has been sent but not delivered. This single checkmark will persist indefinitely, unlike typical message delivery which updates to two checkmarks upon successful delivery.
- The second checkmark, which confirms receipt and read status, will never appear. This absence of the second checkmark is a strong indicator that you have been blocked by the recipient.
It's important to note that WhatsApp does not provide explicit notifications or confirmations when you are blocked. The change in checkmarks is one of the primary ways to infer this status. Additionally, if you try to call the person who has blocked you, your calls will never connect, and you won’t see any updates on their last seen or online status.
Understanding these nuances can help you determine whether you have been blocked on WhatsApp and adjust your communication approach accordingly.
