What happens if someone blocks me on WhatsApp - briefly?
If someone blocks you on WhatsApp, you will no longer be able to send them messages or view their profile picture and status updates. Additionally, your messages to this person will not be delivered, indicated by the absence of checkmarks next to your sent messages.
What happens if someone blocks me on WhatsApp - in detail?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, several changes occur that indicate the action has been taken. Here's a detailed breakdown of what you can expect:
-
Message Delivery Status: If you try to send a message to the person who blocked you, it will not be delivered. Instead, you will see one checkmark (indicating that the message was sent from your device), but it won’t turn into two checkmarks (confirming delivery to the recipient's device).
-
Profile Information: You will no longer be able to view their profile picture, status updates, or any changes they make to their "About" section. The profile picture will revert to a default icon, and you won’t see a recent activity status under their name.
-
Calls: Any calls you attempt to make to the person who blocked you will fail to connect. You may hear a message stating that the call cannot be completed because the user is unavailable.
-
Group Interactions: If both of you are part of a group, you can still see their messages in the group chat, and they can see yours. However, neither of you will be able to add each other to groups or view each other’s profile information within the group.
-
Block Indication: WhatsApp does not notify users when they have been blocked by someone else. Therefore, if you suspect that you have been blocked, you need to look for the above signs yourself.
-
Data Privacy: After being blocked, the person who blocked you cannot see your last seen or online status. Similarly, any changes you make to your profile picture or status will not be visible to them.
-
Chat History: Your chat history with the person who blocked you will remain on your device. However, any messages you send after being blocked will not be delivered and will show only one checkmark.
Understanding these changes can help you recognize if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp. If you suspect that you have been blocked, carefully observing these indicators can provide confirmation.
