What does a person in the blacklist look like in WhatsApp - briefly?
A person on the blacklist in WhatsApp will not be able to send you messages or see your last seen status. You will also be unable to view their profile picture or information.
What does a person in the blacklist look like in WhatsApp - in detail?
A person who is added to the blacklist on WhatsApp appears differently depending on whether they are trying to contact you or if you are attempting to reach out to them. Here's a detailed breakdown of what this scenario looks like:
-
Blocker’s Perspective (You, as the one who blocked someone):
- When you block someone on WhatsApp, their messages will no longer show up in your chat list or notifications. Essentially, they are removed from your contact list within the app.
- If you try to search for them using their name or phone number, they won't appear in the results.
- Their profile picture and status updates will also be hidden from you.
- Any messages sent by a blocked user will not reach you. Instead, WhatsApp will display a notification saying that the message was successfully delivered to the sender but not to you.
-
Blockee’s Perspective (The person who has been blocked):
- From their end, they might notice that your last seen or online status is no longer visible. This is because WhatsApp hides these details when someone blocks another user.
- If they try to send you a message, it will appear as sent but not delivered on their side. They won't receive any delivery confirmation or read receipt.
- Your profile picture and status updates will also disappear from their view.
- If they attempt to call you via WhatsApp, the call will fail immediately without ringing.
-
Group Interactions:
- If both of you are part of a group chat, the blocked person can still see your messages within that group. However, you won't be able to view their profile picture or status updates.
- They can also send messages to the group, which will be visible to everyone except you. You won’t receive any notifications for these messages either.
-
Re-adding to Contacts:
- If you decide to unblock this person, they will reappear in your contact list and all previous messages will become accessible again. However, new messages sent during the block period won't be delivered retroactively.
In summary, adding someone to the blacklist on WhatsApp effectively removes them from your communication sphere within the app, providing a clear distinction between blocked and unblocked contacts.
