What does a blocked profile look like in WhatsApp - briefly?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, their profile picture will no longer be visible to you, and any messages they send will not be delivered. Additionally, you will not see their "last seen" or "online" status.
What does a blocked profile look like in WhatsApp - in detail?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, the experience can differ depending on whether you are the person doing the blocking or the one who has been blocked. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what a blocked profile looks like from both perspectives:
From the Blocker's Perspective: When you block a contact on WhatsApp, their messages and calls will no longer be delivered to you. This means that any attempts by the blocked user to reach you will fail without notification. You won’t see any updates to their profile picture, about section, or status updates from them. However, you can still view the message history with that contact before they were blocked. Their messages will remain in your chat history but won't be delivered to your phone after blocking.
From the Blocked User's Perspective: For the user who has been blocked, their experience is quite different. They may not immediately realize they have been blocked, as WhatsApp does not send a notification about being blocked. However, there are some telltale signs:
- Messages sent to you will always show only one checkmark (indicating they’ve left the sender's device), but never two checkmarks (indicating delivery) or the blue ticks that denote read messages.
- Any calls made to your number will not go through; they will see a message saying something like "Call failed" without further explanation.
- They won't be able to see any updates to your profile picture, about section, or status updates. Essentially, from their end, it appears as if you are no longer using WhatsApp or have changed your number.
In summary, a blocked profile on WhatsApp manifests through failed message delivery and call attempts for the blocked user, while the blocker simply ceases to receive any new messages or calls but retains access to past conversation history.
