What does it look like when someone has blocked you on WhatsApp from their side - briefly?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, you will no longer see their last seen or online status in your chat window. Additionally, any messages you send to them will only show one checkmark (indicating they were sent but not delivered), and you won't be able to call them.
What does it look like when someone has blocked you on WhatsApp from their side - in detail?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, the experience can vary depending on whether you are using an Android or iOS device. Below is a detailed breakdown of what happens in each scenario:
On Android:
- Profile Picture: The profile picture of the person who blocked you will no longer be visible to you. Instead, you will see a default icon, which looks like a grey outline of a person with a crossed-out circle.
- Status Updates: You will not be able to view their status updates anymore. If you try to access their status, it will show an error message indicating that the status is unavailable.
- Last Seen and Online Status: The last seen or online status of the person who blocked you will also disappear. You will see a message saying "You can't see their last seen" under their name in the chat list.
- Messages: If you send a message to someone who has blocked you, it will show only one checkmark (indicating that the message was sent but not delivered). Messages from them will no longer appear in your chat history.
- Calls: Any attempt to make a voice or video call to this person will fail immediately with an error message saying "Your call did not connect. Please try again later."
- Groups: You can still see the person in any group chats you both are part of, but you won't be able to start a chat with them individually from within the group. Additionally, you cannot add them as a contact or view their profile information.
On iOS:
- Profile Picture: Similar to Android, the profile picture will change to the default icon indicating that they are no longer reachable.
- Status Updates: You won't be able to see their status updates, and attempting to do so will result in an error message.
- Last Seen and Online Status: The last seen or online status will also disappear, and you will see a message saying "You can't see their last seen" under their name in the chat list.
- Messages: Sending messages to someone who has blocked you will show only one checkmark (indicating that the message was sent but not delivered). Messages from them will no longer appear in your chat history.
- Calls: Any attempt to make a voice or video call will fail immediately with an error message saying "Your call did not connect."
- Groups: As with Android, you can still see the person in group chats but cannot start an individual conversation from within the group. You also won't be able to add them as a contact or view their profile information.
Additional Signs:
- Read Receipts: If read receipts were enabled before they blocked you, they will no longer appear for messages sent after the block.
- Delivery Receipts: Similarly, delivery receipts (double checkmarks) will not be visible for your messages to them.
In summary, being blocked on WhatsApp significantly limits your interaction with that person, and the signs are quite clear across both Android and iOS platforms. If you notice these changes, it is likely that the person has blocked you.
