If you block a contact in WhatsApp, will you see them - briefly?
If you block a contact in WhatsApp, you will not see their messages or calls. The block effectively removes their presence from your chat list and prevents any new communications from appearing.
If you block a contact in WhatsApp, will you see them - in detail?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, the visibility of that contact changes significantly. Once blocked, you will not see their messages or calls. This is because blocking effectively removes the contact from your WhatsApp interface, preventing any form of communication with them.
However, there are specific instances where some residual information might still be visible:
- Group Chats: If both you and the blocked contact are part of a group chat, their messages will not be visible to you within that group. However, if they were already added to the group before being blocked, their name may still appear in the group participant list. You can remove them from the group to prevent any confusion.
- Call Logs: If the blocked contact had called you before being blocked, their call history might still be visible in your phone’s native call log. WhatsApp itself will not show any calls or messages from the blocked contact, but the phone's system logs may retain this information.
- Broadcast Lists: If the blocked contact was part of a broadcast list you created, their name might still appear in that list. However, they won’t receive any future messages sent through that broadcast list.
In summary, while blocking a contact on WhatsApp effectively hides most of their interactions with you within the app, some vestiges may remain, particularly in group chats and call logs outside of WhatsApp itself.
