What does a blocked person see in WhatsApp - briefly?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to see your last seen status or any changes to your profile picture. Additionally, their messages will not be delivered to you, and they will not receive any read receipts from you.
What does a blocked person see in WhatsApp - in detail?
When an individual is blocked on WhatsApp, the features and messages they can access are significantly limited. Initially, there may be no immediate indication that they have been blocked, as the app’s interface remains largely unchanged from their perspective. However, upon closer inspection, several key differences become apparent:
-
Profile Information: The blocked user will notice that they cannot view the profile picture, about section, or status updates of the person who blocked them. These elements will appear blank or unavailable.
-
Messages: Any messages sent to the blocker will not be delivered and will show only a single checkmark (indicating that it was sent but not received). The blocked user will not receive any read receipts or delivery confirmations for these messages.
-
Group Interaction: In group chats, the blocked user’s messages may still appear to other members of the group, but they will not be able to see the blocker’s messages. They can also be removed from the group by the blocker without their knowledge.
-
Calls: The blocked individual cannot make voice or video calls to the person who has blocked them. Any attempt to initiate a call will fail, and they will not receive any notification about the call being unsuccessful.
-
Status Updates: They will be unable to see any status updates posted by the blocker. This includes text, photo, or video statuses that are shared with contacts.
-
Last Seen and Online Status: The blocked user cannot view the last seen timestamp or the online status of the person who has blocked them. This information will not be visible on their contact list.
These restrictions ensure that the blocked individual is effectively isolated from any further interaction with the blocker, preserving their privacy and security.
