If you block someone on WhatsApp, what do they see - briefly?
If you block someone on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to view your profile picture or status updates, and their messages to you will not be delivered. They may still see your name in group chats if both of you are part of the same group.
If you block someone on WhatsApp, what do they see - in detail?
If you decide to block a contact on WhatsApp, the experience for the blocked user can be quite different from your own. Once a user is blocked, they will no longer be able to see your last seen status or online status. This means that any attempt to view your profile picture, read receipts, or delivery reports will result in no information being displayed. Essentially, all communication efforts from the blocked user will be invisible to you.
For the blocked user, attempting to send a message to you will appear as if it was sent but never delivered. The double check marks that usually indicate a message has been read will not appear, leaving them with an unresolved status indicator next to their message. Similarly, any calls made to your number will not ring through and will go directly to voicemail, if enabled on your phone.
It is important to note that the blocked user will still see you as part of any group chats you both are members of. However, they will not be able to start a direct conversation with you outside of the group. Your messages within the group chat will appear normally to them, but any attempt to interact with you privately will be restricted.
Blocking a user on WhatsApp is a way to maintain your privacy and control over your communication. It is a strong measure that ensures the blocked individual has limited interaction with you while preserving the normal functionality of group chats for all participants.
