If you block a subscriber on WhatsApp, will they see it - briefly?

If you block a subscriber on WhatsApp, they will not receive any notifications or messages from you after the block is implemented. However, they may notice that your messages are no longer being delivered and your profile picture will no longer be visible to them.

If you block a subscriber on WhatsApp, will they see it - in detail?

When you block a subscriber on WhatsApp, the experience is different for both parties involved. The blocked user will not receive any immediate notification indicating that they have been blocked. However, there are several indicators and changes in functionality that might alert them to the situation.

For instance, if the blocked user tries to send you a message, it will be delivered successfully but you, as the blocker, will not receive it. The sent messages from the blocked user will appear with only one checkmark (indicating they have been sent but not delivered), which can be puzzling for them. Similarly, any calls made by the blocked user to your number will go straight to voicemail without ringing, providing another clue that something is amiss.

Additionally, the profile picture, "last seen" status, and other updates from you will no longer be visible to the blocked user. This absence of information can raise suspicions, particularly if the blocked user was accustomed to seeing regular updates from your account.

It's also worth noting that blocking someone on WhatsApp does not prevent them from adding you to group chats. However, if they try to send a message within a group chat, it will not be delivered to you, and you will not see their messages in the group chat.

In summary, while there is no explicit notification sent to a blocked user on WhatsApp, the changes in functionality and lack of updates can serve as indirect signs that they have been blocked. This approach allows for some level of privacy and discretion while still providing clues about the change in status.
