What does WhatsApp show if someone has blocked me - briefly?
If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, several indicators may appear: your messages will not be delivered and will not display a single checkmark; their last seen or online status will no longer update; and their profile picture will no longer be visible to you.
What does WhatsApp show if someone has blocked me - in detail?
If you suspect that someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, there are several telltale signs to look out for:
-
Last Seen: When a contact blocks you, their "last seen" status will no longer be visible to you. This is one of the most noticeable changes as it directly affects your ability to see when they were last active on WhatsApp.
-
Profile Picture: If someone has blocked you, you won't be able to view their profile picture. The placeholder image that appears when you try to access their profile will remain unchanged.
-
Status Updates: You won't be able to see any of the person's status updates if they have blocked you. This includes text, photo, and video statuses.
-
Delivery Checks: Your messages to this contact will always show one check mark (indicating that the message was sent) but never two check marks (indicating that the message was delivered). This is because WhatsApp cannot confirm delivery to a blocked number.
-
Calls: If you try to call the person who has blocked you, your calls will not go through, and you may encounter an error message stating that the call could not be completed.
-
Group Chats: If both of you are part of a group chat, you can still see their messages in the group. However, they cannot see any of your messages or status updates if you send them directly to the group.
These signs collectively indicate that you have likely been blocked by the person on WhatsApp. It's important to note that WhatsApp does not notify users when they have been blocked for privacy reasons, so these changes in visibility and functionality are the primary indicators.
