If you block someone in WhatsApp, what will they see - briefly?
If you block someone on WhatsApp, the person you blocked will no longer be able to see your profile picture or status updates. They can still send messages and calls to you, but they won't receive any delivery notifications indicating that you have seen their messages or heard their calls.
If you block someone in WhatsApp, what will they see - in detail?
If you decide to block someone on WhatsApp, the person will experience several changes and limitations regarding their interactions with your profile. Here is a detailed breakdown of what they will see:
- No More Messages or Calls: The blocked individual will be unable to send you any messages, make voice or video calls, or view your status updates. Any attempts to contact you will fail without notification.
- Profile Picture and Status: They won't be able to see your profile picture, about information, or any of the status updates you post. Your presence on WhatsApp essentially becomes invisible to them.
- Read Receipts and Delivery Notifications: If you block someone after they have sent you a message, they will not receive read receipts (the double check marks) or delivery notifications (the single check mark). This is because their messages won't be delivered to your phone.
- Group Interactions: The blocked contact cannot add you to groups or see your name in group info if you were previously part of a group together. However, they can still communicate with you within the group until you leave it. If you are an admin of the group, they will see your name but won't be able to interact with your posts or messages.
- No Notification: The blocked person will not receive any notification indicating that they have been blocked. They might only realize it if their attempts to contact you fail repeatedly and they notice the lack of updates from your profile.
- Your Last Seen Status: Their last seen status will be frozen at the time when you blocked them. This means they won't see any changes in your online/offline status after that point.
By blocking someone, you effectively limit their ability to interact with you on WhatsApp, ensuring a level of privacy and security for yourself.
