What does a person who has been blocked see in WhatsApp on iPhone - briefly?
When an individual is blocked on WhatsApp using an iPhone, they will no longer be able to view the profile picture or status updates of the person who blocked them. Additionally, their messages will not be delivered to the blocker's device.
What does a person who has been blocked see in WhatsApp on iPhone - in detail?
When a user is blocked by another user on WhatsApp, the experience varies depending on whether they are using an iPhone or Android device. On an iPhone specifically, here is what a person who has been blocked will see:
-
Profile Picture and Status: The blocked user will no longer be able to view the profile picture or status updates of the person who blocked them. If they try to view these, they will see a generic icon in place of the profile picture and no status update.
-
Last Seen Timestamp: The "Last Seen" timestamp will also disappear from the chat window. This feature shows when the other user was last active on WhatsApp, but it will not be visible for the blocked user.
-
Read Receipts and Delivery Notifications: When a blocked user sends a message to the person who has blocked them, they will not receive read receipts (the checkmarks that indicate if the message was delivered and read). The single checkmark indicating delivery may still appear, but it does not guarantee actual delivery.
-
Calls: If the blocked user tries to make a call, it will fail to connect. Similarly, if they try to send a voice or video message, they will receive an error message indicating that the content could not be sent.
-
Group Chats: Blocking someone does not prevent them from being part of the same group chats. However, the blocked user may notice some restrictions in their interactions within those groups. For example, they might not be able to see when the person who blocked them was last active or changes made to the group's icon or description.
-
No Notification: The blocked user will not receive any notification indicating that they have been blocked. They may only become aware of this through the observations mentioned above.
These restrictions are designed to protect the privacy of the person who has initiated the block, ensuring that their communications and activities on WhatsApp remain private from the blocked individual.
