What does it look like when someone has blocked me on WhatsApp - briefly?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, you will no longer see updates to their profile picture, about section, or last seen status. Additionally, messages sent to them will have only one check mark, indicating they were not delivered.
What does it look like when someone has blocked me on WhatsApp - in detail?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, several indicators can help you determine if this has occurred. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what to expect:
-
Profile Picture and Status: If the person who blocked you had a profile picture or status update visible to you before, these will no longer be accessible after they have blocked you. You may see a default grey icon in place of their profile picture, and their status updates will not be viewable.
-
Last Seen: The "last seen" timestamp will also be affected. If the individual was previously online or had updated their last seen time recently, this information will no longer be visible to you after they block you. Instead, you may see a generic message like “Last seen: unknown.”
-
Message Delivery and Read Receipts: When you send messages to someone who has blocked you, you won’t receive delivery or read receipts. Your messages will only show one checkmark (sent) but not the double checkmarks (delivered and read). This is a strong indicator that your messages are not reaching the recipient.
-
Calls: If you try to make a voice or video call to the person who has blocked you, the call will fail to connect and you won’t see their online status. Additionally, they won’t receive any notification of your missed call attempt.
-
Group Membership: If both of you are in a group chat together, you may still be able to see the person's messages within that group. However, if they remove you from the group after blocking you, their messages will become unavailable.
-
Additional Clues: WhatsApp does not notify users when they have been blocked. Therefore, if you suspect someone has blocked you based on these signs, but are unsure, you might consider creating a new group and adding that person to it. If you can add them without any issues, it’s likely that they have indeed blocked you, as blocking typically prevents the blocker from being added to groups by the blocked user.
Understanding these details can help you recognize when someone has blocked you on WhatsApp.
