If you block a contact in WhatsApp, will they see that they have been blocked - briefly?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, the individual will not receive any explicit notification indicating that they have been blocked. However, there are several indirect signs they might notice, such as being unable to view your profile picture or status updates, and their messages not being delivered.
If you block a contact in WhatsApp, will they see that they have been blocked - in detail?
When you block a contact in WhatsApp, the level of visibility of this action to the other party largely depends on how the blocking process is perceived by both parties involved.
Firstly, it's important to understand that once a contact is blocked, they will no longer be able to see your status updates, read receipts, or any changes in your profile picture. This means that if you were previously active and now suddenly become unreachable with no visible status, the other person might suspect that something has changed.
However, WhatsApp does not send a direct notification to the blocked user informing them of their blocked status. The absence of updates or the inability to reach you could potentially raise suspicions, but it is not a guaranteed indicator for the other party to know they have been blocked.
For instance, if someone tries to call or message you after being blocked, WhatsApp will indicate that the message was sent but not delivered. Similarly, calls made to your number will show as unsuccessful without providing specific details about the block. This subtle hint could alert the other person to a potential issue, but it still doesn’t explicitly confirm they have been blocked.
In summary, while blocking a contact in WhatsApp does not send an explicit notification, certain signs such as undelivered messages and unsuccessful calls can serve as indirect indicators that something has changed. However, the other person will not receive a clear, direct confirmation from WhatsApp that they have been blocked by you.
