One checkmark in WhatsApp, what does it mean - blocked - briefly?
A single checkmark next to a message on WhatsApp indicates that the message has been sent but not yet delivered. This status is unrelated to being blocked by the recipient.
One checkmark in WhatsApp, what does it mean - blocked - in detail?
When you send a message on WhatsApp and see only one checkmark next to it, this indicates that your message has been successfully sent from your device but has not yet been delivered to the recipient's phone. The single checkmark appears immediately after you press send, confirming that the message has left your device. However, it does not provide information about whether the recipient has received or seen the message.
It is important to note that a single checkmark does not necessarily mean that the recipient has blocked you. WhatsApp does not use visible indicators such as checkmarks to inform users of being blocked. Instead, if you have been blocked by someone on WhatsApp, you may notice several other signs:
- Last Seen: You will no longer see the contact's last seen or online status.
- Profile Picture: The contact's profile picture will not be updated.
- Messages: Your messages to this contact will always show one checkmark (sent), and never become two checkmarks (delivered) or turn blue (read).
- Calls: Any calls made to the contact will not go through, and you may receive a message saying "Your call did not connect."
These signs collectively indicate that the recipient has blocked your number on WhatsApp. If you see only one checkmark next to your message, it simply means the message is still in transit and has not yet been delivered.
