What does a person see if I block them on WhatsApp - in detail?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to view your profile picture, status updates, or any changes you make to your profile information. Here is a detailed breakdown of what a person sees and experiences when blocked by another user:
-
Profile Picture: The blocked individual will not see any updates to your profile picture. If they try to view it, they will see a default icon instead of your actual photo.
-
Status Updates: Any status updates you share after blocking the person will be invisible to them. They won't be able to see new text, images, or videos that you post on your status.
-
Last Seen and Online Status: The blocked user will not be able to see your last seen timestamp or online status. This means they won't know when you were last active on WhatsApp.
-
Read Receipts: If the blocked person sends you a message, they will not receive read receipts (the two blue checkmarks). They will only see one gray checkmark, indicating that their message was sent but not delivered or read.
-
Calls and Messages: The blocked user will be unable to call you or send you messages. If they try, WhatsApp will show an error message saying the message was not delivered. They won't receive any notification about being blocked.
-
Group Interaction: If both of you are part of a group, the blocked individual can still see your messages and status updates within that group. However, they won’t be able to call or send direct messages to you outside of the group context.
-
Mutual Contacts: The person who has been blocked will not be removed from your contact list on their end. They might assume that there is a technical issue preventing them from reaching you.
-
Notification Settings: Any changes in notification settings for messages or calls will not affect the blocked user, as they won’t receive any messages or calls from you anyway.
Blocking someone on WhatsApp ensures that your conversations and personal information remain private. The other person will have limited interaction capabilities with you, maintaining a level of privacy and security.
