What does a blocked page look like in WhatsApp - briefly?
When you are blocked on WhatsApp, you will no longer be able to see the profile picture of the person who has blocked you; instead, it will appear as a default blank gray image with a question mark. Additionally, any messages sent to that contact will only display one checkmark, indicating they have not been delivered, and you won't be able to view their last seen status or online indicator.
What does a blocked page look like in WhatsApp - in detail?
When a user is blocked on WhatsApp, the experience can vary depending on whether the blocker or the recipient of the block is trying to communicate. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what each scenario looks like:
For the Blocked User
If you have been blocked by someone, attempting to send messages will result in a single checkmark appearing next to your message, indicating that it has left your device but not been delivered. You won't see any updates or read receipts (double checkmarks). Additionally, you won’t be able to see the contact’s profile picture, status updates, or any changes they make to their profile information.
For the Blocker
For the person who has initiated the block, WhatsApp does not provide a direct notification about the block. However, if the blocked user tries to call you, the call will go through, but once it ends, there won’t be any record of the missed or received call in your call log. Similarly, messages from the blocked user will only show a single checkmark, indicating that the message was sent but not delivered.
Group Dynamics
If both users are part of the same group, their interactions within the group remain unaffected by the block. However, if the blocked user leaves the group and attempts to rejoin, they won’t be able to do so without an administrator’s approval.
Profile Visibility
The profile picture, about section, and last seen status of the person who has blocked you will no longer be visible. This change is immediate and indicates that communication with this contact has been restricted.
Notifications
You won't receive any notifications or updates from the blocked user’s end. Their messages won't show up in your chat list, and their status updates won't appear in your Status tab.
Call Log
Any calls made by the blocked user will go through but won’t appear in your call log afterward. This is a subtle indicator that something might be amiss with your communication.
In summary, being blocked on WhatsApp results in limited interaction capabilities and lack of updates from the blocker's side. The single checkmark next to sent messages, absence of profile information, and missing call records are all telltale signs of a potential block.
