If you block a contact in WhatsApp, what will you see - briefly?
If you block a contact in WhatsApp, you will no longer see their messages or status updates in your chat list. Additionally, they will not be able to call or message you.
If you block a contact in WhatsApp, what will you see - in detail?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, several changes occur to your interaction with that user. Here are the details of what you will see:
- Messages: You will no longer receive messages from the blocked contact. Any message sent by them after being blocked will not be delivered and will remain undelivered until they are unblocked or they delete the message before it expires.
- Calls: Blocking a contact prevents them from calling you on WhatsApp. If they attempt to call, the call will fail to connect, and they will see a message indicating that your calls are blocked.
- Status Updates: You will not be able to see the status updates of the blocked contact. Similarly, if you post a status update, it will not be visible to them.
- Profile Picture and About Information: The profile picture, "About" information, and last seen/online status of the blocked contact will no longer be visible to you. Conversely, your profile picture, about info, and last seen status will also be hidden from them.
- Group Membership: If both you and the blocked contact are part of the same group, neither of you will be able to see any messages or changes made by the other in that group. However, you can still continue to participate in group conversations as usual with other members.
- Notifications: You will not receive notifications for any messages or calls from the blocked contact. This ensures that your interaction with them remains completely blocked.
- Media Files: Any media files (photos, videos, documents) sent by the blocked contact after they have been blocked will not be delivered to you. Similarly, if you try to send a media file to a blocked contact, it will fail to deliver.
By blocking a contact on WhatsApp, you essentially sever all direct communication with that user while still being able to use the app as usual with other contacts.
