What does a contact in WhatsApp look like if you are blocked by them - briefly?
If you have been blocked by someone on WhatsApp, their contact will still appear in your list of contacts. However, you will no longer be able to send messages or make calls to them, and any attempts to do so will fail without explanation.
What does a contact in WhatsApp look like if you are blocked by them - in detail?
If you suspect that someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, there are several indicators to look for that can help confirm your suspicion. Here's what a contact in WhatsApp looks like when they have blocked you:
-
Profile Picture: The most notable change is that their profile picture will no longer be visible to you. Instead, you will see a default grey icon with a question mark, indicating that the user has not set a profile picture or that there might be an issue with your connection.
-
Status Updates: You will not be able to view any of their status updates. If you try to access their status, it will show as "Last Seen" without any recent activity, even if they have updated their status recently.
-
Last Seen and Online Status: You won't be able to see when they were last online or if they are currently online. The "Last Seen" information will be hidden from your view.
-
Read Receipts: If you send a message, you will not receive read receipts (the double check marks) indicating that the recipient has seen your message. Instead, you'll only see one grey check mark, which means the message was sent but not delivered.
-
Message Delivery: Your messages to this contact will remain undelivered, indicated by a single grey check mark. Even if they read your message, you won’t receive any confirmation of delivery or reading.
-
Calls and Voicemails: If you try to make a call, it will show as "Connecting" indefinitely and the call will not go through. Similarly, you won't be able to leave a voicemail for this contact.
-
Contact Information: The information section of their profile may appear blank or limited. You might see only basic details like their name and phone number, but other details such as about, birthdate, etc., will not be visible.
These signs collectively indicate that you have been blocked by the contact on WhatsApp. If you notice any of these changes with a particular contact, it is likely that they have chosen to block your access to their account.
