What happens if someone adds me to their block list on WhatsApp - briefly?
If someone adds you to their block list on WhatsApp, you will no longer be able to send them messages or see their last seen status. Additionally, they won't receive any of your future messages, and there won't be any notifications indicating that you've been blocked.
What happens if someone adds me to their block list on WhatsApp - in detail?
If someone adds you to their block list on WhatsApp, several changes will occur in your communication with that person. Here is a detailed breakdown of what to expect:
-
Message Delivery Status: When you send a message to the person who has blocked you, it will not be delivered. Instead, you will see one check mark (indicating that your message was sent) but no second check mark (indicating delivery). This is because the message cannot reach the recipient's device.
-
Last Seen Status: You will no longer be able to see the last seen status or online status of the person who has blocked you. This feature, which shows when the user was last active on WhatsApp, will be unavailable for that contact.
-
Profile Picture and Status Updates: You won't be able to view any changes in the profile picture or status updates of the person who has blocked you. The profile picture will remain as it was before they blocked you, and you won't see any new status messages.
-
Calls: Both voice and video calls will not go through if you try to contact the person who has blocked you. You may hear a ringing tone, but the call will not be connected.
-
Group Interactions: If both of you are part of the same WhatsApp group, you can still send messages to the group, and other members can see them. However, the person who has blocked you won't receive your individual messages or calls within the group chat. They will also not be able to add you to any new groups or remove you from existing ones.
-
Read Receipts: If the person who blocked you was part of a group conversation and they had read receipts enabled, you would no longer see their read receipt (the double check marks) for messages sent in that group after they blocked you.
-
No Notification: The blocked person will not receive any notification indicating that you have tried to contact them or send a message. This means they won't know about your attempts unless they unblock you and see the undelivered messages.
-
Block List Awareness: WhatsApp does not inform users when they have been added to someone else’s block list. Therefore, you will not receive any alert or notification indicating that you have been blocked.
These changes are designed by WhatsApp to respect the privacy of both parties and ensure a smooth user experience even in situations where communication is limited.
