What does a profile look like in WhatsApp if you are blocked - briefly?
If you have been blocked by someone on WhatsApp, their profile will no longer display a photo or status update. Additionally, messages sent to the blocker will only show one check mark (indicating they were sent but not delivered), and calls made to them will go straight to voicemail.
What does a profile look like in WhatsApp if you are blocked - in detail?
When someone blocks your number on WhatsApp, the appearance of their profile changes significantly to indicate that they have restricted communication with you. Here is a detailed breakdown of what a blocked profile looks like in WhatsApp:
-
Profile Picture: The most noticeable change is that you will no longer be able to see the other person's profile picture. Instead, there will be a default icon or placeholder image in its place. This is because WhatsApp restricts access to media files when a user is blocked.
-
Status Updates: You won't be able to view their status updates anymore. The "Last Seen" and "Online" status indicators will also be unavailable, meaning you won't know when they were last active on WhatsApp. This lack of information is a clear sign that your communication has been restricted.
-
Messages: Sending messages to the blocked contact will only show one tick mark (indicating that the message was sent but not delivered). You won’t receive any read receipts or delivery confirmations for your messages, as they are not reaching the other person's phone.
-
Calls: If you try to make a voice or video call to the blocked contact, it will fail immediately and you will see a message indicating that the call cannot be completed. This is another clear indication that communication has been blocked.
-
Contact Information: The contact information for the blocked user remains visible in your contacts list. However, attempts to interact with them through WhatsApp (such as sending messages or making calls) will result in failures as described above.
-
Group Membership: If you are both members of a group, you can still send messages within that group. However, the blocked user will not receive any direct messages or calls from you outside the group context.
These changes collectively serve to inform you that your communication with this particular contact has been restricted due to being blocked on WhatsApp.
