What happens if an ex-partner blocks you in WhatsApp - briefly?
When an ex-partner blocks you on WhatsApp, you will no longer be able to see their last seen status or online presence. Additionally, any messages sent to them will not be delivered and will show only one checkmark instead of two, indicating that the message was not received.
What happens if an ex-partner blocks you in WhatsApp - in detail?
When an ex-partner blocks you on WhatsApp, several changes occur that affect your ability to communicate with them and see their updates. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens:
-
Messages and Calls: If you try to send a message to your ex-partner after they have blocked you, the message will fail to deliver and you won’t receive any notification indicating that the message was not sent. Similarly, if you attempt to make a call, it will not go through; instead, you'll see a message saying "Call ended" immediately.
-
Profile Picture and Status: You will no longer be able to view your ex-partner’s profile picture or their status updates. This means you won’t have access to any new photos they upload or any changes they make to their status.
-
Group Chats: If both of you are part of a group chat, you will still see the messages sent by your ex-partner, and they can also see your messages. However, neither of you will be able to directly message each other outside of the group chat. This restriction only applies within individual chats.
-
Last Seen: You won’t be able to see their last seen or online status. This feature, which shows when a user was last active on WhatsApp, will be hidden from you.
-
Read Receipts and Delivery Status: If your ex-partner sends you a message after they have blocked you, the delivery status (the checkmarks next to the message) won’t change, indicating that the message was not delivered. You also won't be able to see if they have read your messages.
-
Block Detection: WhatsApp does not notify users when someone blocks them. Therefore, you will not receive any alert or indication that your ex-partner has blocked you. The only way to know for sure is by observing the changes mentioned above.
-
No Notifications: You won’t get any push notifications or alerts for messages or calls from your ex-partner after they have blocked you. This ensures that their communications do not disturb you.
-
Contacts List: Your ex-partner will still appear in your contacts list, but as mentioned earlier, you won’t be able to send them messages or make calls directly.
It's important to note that blocking is a feature designed to protect users from unwanted communication and potential harassment. If you find yourself blocked by an ex-partner, it's best to respect their decision and avoid attempting to contact them through other means unless there are exceptional circumstances that warrant such action.
