What does a blocked message look like on WhatsApp - briefly?
When you are blocked by someone on WhatsApp, the single tick next to your message will remain grey instead of turning blue. This indicates that your message has not been delivered and likely means you have been blocked.
What does a blocked message look like on WhatsApp - in detail?
When you are blocked by someone on WhatsApp, the appearance of your messages to that person will change noticeably. Here is a detailed breakdown of what a blocked message looks like:
-
Single Check Mark: Normally, when you send a message, it displays one check mark once it has been sent from your device. However, if the recipient has blocked you, this single check mark will remain as an indication that the message was not delivered to their phone.
-
No Double or Blue Check Marks: If you are blocked, you won't see the two gray check marks (indicating delivery) or the blue check marks (confirming that your message has been read). This is a clear sign that the recipient has either not received your message or has chosen to block you.
-
No Profile Picture or Status Update: Another tell-tale sign of being blocked is that you will no longer see the recipient's profile picture, status updates, or any changes they make to their profile information. This is because WhatsApp restricts access to these details when someone blocks another user.
-
Message Not Delivered: If you try to send a message and it fails to deliver (indicated by the single check mark), this could also mean that the recipient has blocked your number. However, network issues or other technical problems can sometimes cause similar behavior, so it's essential to consider all factors before concluding that you have been blocked.
-
No Calls or Media: Apart from text messages, if you are blocked, you won’t be able to make calls to the person, and any media (such as photos, videos, or voice notes) sent to them will not be delivered either. You might receive a notification saying that your call did not connect or that your media could not be delivered.
-
Group Messages: If you are part of a group with the person who blocked you, they can still see your messages within that group. However, if they remove you from the group, this is another strong indication that they have blocked you.
Understanding these signs can help you determine whether you have been blocked on WhatsApp. If you notice any of these indicators consistently, it’s likely that the recipient has chosen to block your number or account.
