What does a blocked number see in WhatsApp - briefly?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to see your profile picture or status updates. Additionally, any messages sent by the blocked user will not be delivered and will remain undelivered in their chat window.
What does a blocked number see in WhatsApp - in detail?
When a user blocks another person's phone number on WhatsApp, the blocked individual will encounter certain restrictions and limitations in their interactions with the blocker. Here is a detailed breakdown of what a blocked number sees:
-
Profile Picture: The blocked contact will no longer be able to see the profile picture or any updates made to it by the person who blocked them. This includes any changes in status messages as well.
-
Status Updates: If the blocker posts a new status update, the blocked contact will not have access to view it. They will only see their own status and those of other contacts who are not blocked.
-
Messages: Any message sent by the blocked contact to the person who blocked them will show only one checkmark (indicating that the message was sent but not delivered). The blocker will receive these messages, but they will remain unread and hidden from their main chat list.
-
Calls: The blocked contact will be unable to make voice or video calls to the person who blocked them. If they attempt a call, it will fail to connect, and no notification will be received by the blocker.
-
Group Messages and Calls: In the event that both the blocker and the blocked contact are part of a group, the blocked contact can still send messages and make calls within that group. However, they cannot add or remove the blocker from the group, nor will they see any changes made to the blocker's profile picture or status updates within the group context.
-
Last Seen: The last seen timestamp of the person who blocked them will not be visible to the blocked contact. This timestamp is replaced with a generic "Last seen at" message that does not provide specific information about when the blocker was last active on WhatsApp.
-
Read Receipts: If the blocker reads any messages sent by the blocked contact, the blocked contact will not receive read receipts (double checkmarks). This indicates that their messages have been delivered but not seen or interacted with by the blocker.
In summary, a blocked number on WhatsApp experiences significant limitations in their ability to communicate and engage with the person who has blocked them. These restrictions are designed to protect the privacy of the blocker while still allowing some level of interaction within group settings.
