If you block a person in WhatsApp, will he see that I am online - briefly?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they won't be able to see your "online" status or any changes to it. This means that even if you are active on the app, the blocked user will not receive any indication of your online presence.
If you block a person in WhatsApp, will he see that I am online - in detail?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they are effectively removed from your contact list and cannot see any updates to your profile or status. This includes your "last seen" (online) status. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what happens:
- Initial Block: Once you block a person, their messages will no longer be delivered to your phone. You won't receive notifications for new messages from them, and they won't appear in your chat list.
- Last Seen Status: The blocked contact will not see your "last seen" status. This means that even if you are online, the person you have blocked will not be able to see when you were last active on WhatsApp.
- Profile Picture and About Information: In addition to the "last seen" status, the blocked contact will also lose access to your profile picture and any information in your "About" section. They won’t be able to view or update this information.
- Read Receipts: If you block someone after reading their message, they will not receive a read receipt (the blue ticks) indicating that the message has been read.
- Calls and Messages: The blocked contact cannot call you or send you messages. Any attempts to do so will fail, and they won’t be notified that their messages were not delivered.
- Group Chats: If both of you are part of a group chat, the blocked user can still see your messages in the group chat, but only if the group admin has not removed them from the group. However, you will not receive any messages or notifications from this person within the group.
- Privacy Settings: Blocking someone is different from changing your privacy settings to "Nobody" for your "last seen" status. When you block someone, they are completely restricted from seeing any of your updates or interacting with you on WhatsApp.
In summary, blocking a person on WhatsApp ensures that they will not see your online status or any other updates related to your profile. This action effectively ends all communication and visibility between you and the blocked contact.
