If you unblock someone on WhatsApp, will they know - briefly?
If you unblock someone on WhatsApp, they will not be notified of the action. Thus, they will remain unaware that you have lifted the block.
If you unblock someone on WhatsApp, will they know - in detail?
When you unblock someone on WhatsApp, the person you have unblocked will not be explicitly notified that you have done so. WhatsApp does not send a notification or alert to inform the user that their access to your profile has been restored. However, there are subtle indications that might suggest they have been unblocked:
- Profile Picture and Status: If you had previously blocked someone, they would no longer be able to see your profile picture, about section, or status updates. Once you unblock them, these elements become visible again, which could imply that the block has been lifted.
- Messages Delivery: Any messages sent by the unblocked user after being unblocked will be delivered successfully. Previously blocked users would see a single checkmark indicating that their message was sent but not delivered; after being unblocked, they will see two checkmarks, confirming delivery.
- Calls and Media: If you had blocked someone, they wouldn't be able to call you or send media files like photos and videos. Once unblocked, these features become available again, allowing for calls and the exchange of multimedia content.
While there is no direct notification from WhatsApp informing users that they have been unblocked, the changes in visibility and functionality can serve as indirect clues. It's important to note that these changes are not explicit alerts but rather natural consequences of the block being removed.
