If you delete a blocked contact in WhatsApp, will they be unblocked - briefly?
Deleting a blocked contact in WhatsApp does not automatically unblock them. The block remains active even after the contact is deleted, ensuring that the user's privacy preferences are maintained.
If you delete a blocked contact in WhatsApp, will they be unblocked - in detail?
Deleting a blocked contact in WhatsApp does not automatically unblock them. When you block someone on WhatsApp, the app prevents them from seeing your profile picture, status updates, and any messages or calls they try to send you. If you decide to delete this blocked contact, their previous attempts to reach out will remain undelivered, and they will still be unable to contact you until you manually unblock them.
To clarify further, the act of deleting a contact simply removes their information from your contacts list. It does not alter the block status in any way. The blocked user remains blocked even after you delete their contact details. They will continue to be unaware of any changes made to your profile or status updates until you actively choose to unblock them.
Therefore, if your intention is to keep someone blocked, deleting their contact information from your WhatsApp contacts list has no bearing on the block status. The user remains blocked and will not receive any new messages or calls from you unless you explicitly lift the block.
