What does a blocked WhatsApp look like - briefly?
A blocked WhatsApp contact appears as if the person has been deleted from your contacts list. You will no longer see their profile picture or status updates.
What does a blocked WhatsApp look like - in detail?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, the experience can be quite different depending on whether you're trying to contact them from your phone or their contact details are still saved in your address book. Here's a detailed breakdown of what a blocked WhatsApp looks like:
-
Messages: If you try to send a message to someone who has blocked you, it will not be delivered. Instead, you'll see one tick mark (which indicates the message was sent but not received). The second tick mark (indicating the message was received) will never appear. This is a clear sign that your messages are not getting through.
-
Calls: If you attempt to call someone who has blocked you, the call will not connect. You'll see a message saying "Connecting..." for a while before it eventually fails. The call logs might show an "outgoing" call status, but it won't go through.
-
Profile Picture and Status: If the person who blocked you was previously in your contacts list, their profile picture will no longer be visible to you. Similarly, you won't be able to see any updates they post in their status. This is because WhatsApp restricts access to such information for users who have been blocked.
-
Last Seen: The "last seen" timestamp will also disappear from the contact details of the person who has blocked you. This means you won't be able to see when they were last active on WhatsApp.
-
Group Chats: If both of you are part of a group, you can still see their messages in the group chat. However, they will not receive any messages you send directly to them outside of the group. Additionally, you won't be able to add them to new groups or remove them from existing ones.
-
Contact Information: If the person who blocked you was previously saved in your contacts, their name might still appear in your contacts list, but it will not be clickable. This means you can't initiate a chat with them directly through your contacts list.
Understanding these signs can help you determine if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp. It's important to respect the other person's decision and avoid trying to contact them repeatedly if they have chosen to block you.
