What does a person see when they are blocked in WhatsApp on the phone - briefly?
When someone is blocked on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to see the other person's last seen or online status, and their messages will not be delivered to the blocker. Instead, a single check mark (indicating message sent) will appear next to their messages, but it will never turn into double check marks (indicating message read).
What does a person see when they are blocked in WhatsApp on the phone - in detail?
When a person is blocked by another user on WhatsApp, several changes occur that indicate the blockage. Here's what the blocked individual typically sees and experiences:
-
Profile Picture: The profile picture of the person who blocked them will no longer be visible. Instead, they will see a default gray icon with a question mark, indicating that the profile picture is not available.
-
Last Seen Status: They won't be able to view the last seen status or online status of the person who has blocked them. The "last seen" timestamp will remain blank, showing no recent activity.
-
Messages: If they try to send a message to the blocker, it will show as "Delivered" but never receive any indication that it was read. No checkmarks (one for sent, two for delivered, and two blue ticks for read) will appear next to their messages. This is because the messages are not being delivered to the blocker's phone.
-
Calls: Any attempts to make a voice or video call to the person who blocked them will fail. The call will go through but will never be received by the blocker, and it will show as "Call Ended" on their screen.
-
Group Interactions: If they are in a group with the person who has blocked them, they can still see the blocker's messages within that group. However, they won't be able to view the blocker’s profile picture or last seen status within the group either.
-
Status Updates: They will not be able to view any status updates from the person who has blocked them. The blocker's status section will appear blank.
-
Additional Indicators: Some users report seeing a message like "You are blocked" when they try to send a message to someone who has blocked them, but this is not universally consistent across all devices and versions of WhatsApp.
These changes collectively indicate that the person has been blocked by another user on WhatsApp. It's important to note that WhatsApp does not notify users when they have been blocked; they must observe these subtle indicators themselves.
