What does a blocked account look like in WhatsApp - briefly?
When you are blocked by someone on WhatsApp, you will no longer see updates to their profile picture, about section, or last seen status. Additionally, messages sent to them will have only one checkmark and not two, indicating they were not delivered.
What does a blocked account look like in WhatsApp - in detail?
When an individual or group is blocked on WhatsApp, the experience from both sides—the blocker and the blocked—differs significantly. Let's delve into what a blocked account looks like in detail for both parties involved.
For the person who has been blocked:
-
Message Delivery: Any messages sent to the blocker will not be delivered. Instead, they will show only one check mark (indicating that the message was sent but not delivered). This is a clear indication that something is amiss, as normally two check marks would appear to confirm delivery.
-
Profile Picture and Status: The profile picture of the blocker will no longer be visible. Additionally, any updates to their status will not be viewable. This absence of visual cues can also hint at being blocked.
-
Calls: Any attempt to make a call to the blocker will fail immediately, further suggesting that communication is restricted.
-
Group Interactions: If both parties are part of the same group, messages sent by the blocker will not be delivered to the blocked user. However, messages from the blocked user can still reach the group if admin settings allow it.
For the person who has done the blocking:
-
Message Receipt: The blocked individual's messages will not appear in the blocker’s chat list or message threads. This ensures that no notifications or messages from the blocked user can be seen.
-
Profile Visibility: The profile picture and status updates of the blocked user will still be visible to the blocker, but only until they manually delete the contact or clear their chat history.
-
Calls: Similar to messages, calls from the blocked individual cannot reach the blocker.
-
Group Participation: In a group setting, the blocker can still see and interact with messages from the blocked user. However, they have the option to report or remove the blocked user from the group if necessary.
In summary, when an account is blocked on WhatsApp, there are distinct changes in message delivery, profile visibility, call functionality, and group interactions that signal the blockage. These indicators help both parties understand the state of their communication status on the platform.
