What does a person see when they are blocked on WhatsApp - briefly?
When someone is blocked on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to see the profile picture or status updates of the person who blocked them. Additionally, messages sent to this contact will not be delivered and will show only one checkmark instead of two, indicating that the message has not been received.
What does a person see when they are blocked on WhatsApp - in detail?
When someone is blocked on WhatsApp, the experience and visibility of their messages and interactions change significantly for both parties involved.
For the person who has been blocked:
- They will still see the contact's name in their list of contacts, as well as any previously saved profile picture or status updates.
- Any attempts to send a message to the blocker will fail to deliver. A single checkmark will appear next to the message, indicating that it was sent but not delivered. There will be no double checkmarks, which usually confirm delivery and reading of the message.
- Calls made to the blocker will not go through. The call will ring on the blocker's end, but they will not receive any notification about the missed call from the blocked person.
- Any media or files sent to the blocker after being blocked will also fail to deliver. This includes photos, videos, documents, and voice messages.
- The blocked person will not be able to see the blocker's last seen status or online status.
For the person who has done the blocking:
- They will no longer receive any messages, calls, or media from the blocked person. These attempts will appear as failed deliveries on the blocker's end.
- The blocker's last seen status and online status will not be visible to the blocked person.
- If the blocker has saved the profile picture or status of the blocked person, it will still be visible in their contacts list. However, updates to the profile picture or status after the blocking took place will not be reflected on the blocker's end.
It is important to note that WhatsApp does not send any explicit notification to inform a user that they have been blocked. The changes in message delivery and call connectivity are subtle indicators that can suggest being blocked, but there is no definitive confirmation within the app itself.
