What does a blocked WhatsApp contact look like - in detail?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, the appearance and functionality of their profile change significantly. Here's a detailed breakdown:
-
Profile Picture: The contact's profile picture will no longer be visible to you. Instead, you'll see a default icon or blank space where their picture used to be.
-
Status Updates: You won't be able to see the blocked contact's status updates. This includes both text and media statuses.
-
Messages: Any messages sent by the blocked contact will not be delivered to you. They will receive a notification saying "This message was successfully sent" but it won't appear in your chat window. Similarly, any messages you send to them will also fail to deliver after two attempts, and you'll see a notification "Message sent" followed by "Message not sent".
-
Calls: Both voice and video calls from the blocked contact will not go through. You won't receive any notifications about missed calls either.
-
Contact Information: The blocked contact's last seen, online status, and read receipts (the blue checkmarks that indicate message delivery) will no longer be visible to you.
-
Group Chats: If the blocked contact is part of a group chat with you, they can still send messages to the group, but you won't receive any notifications for them. You also won't see their name or profile picture in the group info. However, other members of the group will still be able to see and interact with the blocked contact normally.
These changes help maintain your privacy and prevent unwanted communication from the blocked contact.
