What does a message look like in WhatsApp if you are blocked - briefly?
If you've been blocked on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered to the recipient. You won’t see any checkmarks next to your message, indicating it hasn’t reached them.
What does a message look like in WhatsApp if you are blocked - in detail?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, the appearance of your messages changes significantly, reflecting the new status of your communication with that person. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what happens to your messages:
-
Single Check Mark: Initially, when you send a message to someone who has blocked you, it will appear with only one check mark. This indicates that your message has been sent but not delivered to the recipient's device. Typically, in normal circumstances, this single check mark is replaced by two check marks once the message is delivered, and then turns into blue ticks when read. However, if you are blocked, the single check mark will persist indefinitely.
-
No Read Receipts: As a result of being blocked, your messages will not receive any read receipts (blue double check marks). This means that even if the person reads your message, you will not be notified about it. The lack of blue ticks is one of the most telling signs that you have been blocked.
-
No Profile Picture or Status Update: Another noticeable change is that the profile picture and status updates of the person who has blocked you will no longer be visible to you. This is because WhatsApp restricts your access to their profile information once they have blocked you.
-
Messages Not Delivered: Since the person has blocked you, none of your messages will be delivered to them. They won't see any notifications or alerts for your messages, and your communication attempts will effectively go unnoticed by them.
-
No Changes in Your Chat History: It’s important to note that blocking someone on WhatsApp does not delete the existing chat history between you and the person who blocked you. However, any new messages you send after being blocked will not be received or seen by them.
-
Calls Will Not Connect: If you try to make a voice or video call to the person who has blocked you, your calls will not go through. You might hear a ringing tone, but it will eventually disconnect without connecting to the other party. This is another clear indicator that your number has been blocked.
These changes in the appearance and behavior of your messages on WhatsApp are clear indications that you have been blocked by the recipient. If you notice these signs, it’s a good idea to respect the person's decision and avoid further attempts at communication unless they reach out to you first.
