If you are blocked on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered to the person who has blocked you. Instead, they will display a single tick mark, indicating that they have been sent but not received.
If you are blocked on WhatsApp, will messages still be delivered - in detail?
If you find yourself blocked by someone on WhatsApp, it is important to understand how this affects the delivery of your messages. When a user blocks another, they effectively remove that person from their contact list and prevent any future communication. This action has several implications for message delivery:
- Message Sending: Initially, you will be able to send messages as usual. However, these messages will not be delivered to the recipient's phone. Instead, WhatsApp will notify you that your message was not sent. This is indicated by a single tick mark next to your message, signifying it has left your device but not reached the recipient.
- Message Delivery Status: Unlike regular messages where you see double ticks indicating delivery and read receipts with a blue checkmark, blocked messages will only show one tick. This is WhatsApp's way of informing you that the message could not be delivered due to the block.
- Calls and Media: In addition to text messages, any calls or media files (photos, videos) sent to a blocked contact will also fail to deliver. You might receive a notification stating that the call did not connect or the media could not be sent.
- Group Chats: If you are part of a group chat with the person who blocked you, your messages in that group will still be delivered and visible to all participants, including the one who blocked you. However, they can choose to ignore or delete those messages from their view.
- Profile Visibility: Blocking also prevents you from seeing the other person's profile picture, status updates, and any changes to their "About" section. Similarly, they won't be able to see yours.
- Mutual Contacts: If there are mutual contacts in a group chat where both of you are included, the blocked user can report your messages or behavior within that group, but this does not affect message delivery outside the group context.
In summary, if someone blocks you on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered to them. You will receive indications from WhatsApp that the messages were not sent successfully, ensuring you are aware of the communication block.
