If you block someone on WhatsApp, they will no longer see your status updates or changes to your profile picture. Additionally, any messages sent by the blocked user will not be delivered to you.
If you block a person in WhatsApp, what will I see - in detail?
If you block someone on WhatsApp, the changes you'll observe are primarily from your end rather than theirs. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect to see:
- No More Messages or Calls: Once you block a contact, you will no longer receive any messages or calls from them. This includes text messages, voice notes, images, videos, and documents. The blocked person's attempts to reach you will be unsuccessful, and they won't see any delivery receipts (blue ticks) for their messages.
- No Status Updates: You will not be able to view the status updates of the blocked contact. Similarly, they won’t be able to see your status updates either. This restriction applies to both text and media statuses.
- Removed from Groups (if Admin): If you are an administrator in a group with the blocked person, WhatsApp will remove them from the group automatically. However, if they were not an admin, their presence in the group remains unaffected.
- No Profile Picture or Info: You will no longer see the profile picture, about section, or last seen status of the blocked contact. Their name will still appear in your contacts list, but interacting with them through WhatsApp is disabled.
- No Notifications: You won’t receive any notifications related to the blocked person. This includes message notifications, group invitations, and any other alerts that would typically come from their interactions.
- Blocked Contact List: The blocked contact will appear in your block list within WhatsApp settings. This allows you to manage and unblock them if needed.
- No Changes on Their End: It’s important to note that the person you have blocked will not receive any notification or indication that they have been blocked. They will continue to see your messages as delivered (with gray ticks), but no further delivery confirmation (blue ticks) will be visible to them.
- Revoking Block: If you decide to unblock the contact, all previous messages and calls will remain unaffected, and communication can resume normally. However, any missed messages or calls during the block period will not be delivered retroactively.
In summary, blocking someone on WhatsApp effectively cuts off all forms of communication from that individual, providing a more controlled and peaceful messaging experience for you.
