If you block someone in WhatsApp, will they see your message - briefly?
If you block someone on WhatsApp, they will not receive or see any of your messages. However, if the blocked user tries to send you a message, it will fail to deliver and they won't know they have been blocked.
If you block someone in WhatsApp, will they see your message - in detail?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, the blocked user is unable to view any new messages you send after the block takes place. This is because WhatsApp designed its blocking feature to prevent communication between the two parties involved. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens:
- Message Delivery: Any message sent by you to the blocked contact will not be delivered. Instead, it will remain in your outbox with an "undelivered" status until you unblock the contact or delete the message.
- Notification: The blocked user will not receive any notification about your attempt to send a message. They won't know that you tried to reach them unless they are aware of other circumstances indicating so.
- Profile and Status Updates: Blocking someone also means they cannot see updates to your profile picture, about information, or status updates. Similarly, you will not be able to see theirs.
- Calls: The blocked user will also be unable to call you on WhatsApp. If they try, the call will not go through, and they won't receive any notification that a call was attempted.
- Group Conversations: If both of you are part of a group conversation, the blocked user can still see your messages within that group. However, they cannot send direct messages to you or view your status updates outside the group context.
- Unblocking: Once you unblock the contact, any undelivered messages will not be sent automatically. You would need to manually resend them if desired.
In summary, blocking a contact on WhatsApp effectively stops all forms of direct communication from your side to theirs. This includes message delivery, call attempts, and visibility of profile or status updates. However, it's important to note that the blocked user will still be able to see messages you send within a shared group conversation.
