What happens when you are added to the contact block list on WhatsApp - briefly?
When you are added to the contact block list on WhatsApp, you will no longer be able to send messages or make calls to the person who has blocked you. Additionally, you won't see any updates to their profile picture, status, or last seen information.
What happens when you are added to the contact block list on WhatsApp - in detail?
When a user is added to your contact's block list on WhatsApp, several changes occur that affect both parties involved. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens:
-
Communication Restriction: The primary effect of being blocked is the immediate halt in communication between you and the person who has blocked you. You will no longer be able to send messages, make calls, or view the profile picture and status updates of the person who has added you to their block list.
-
Delivery Status: When you attempt to send a message to someone who has blocked you, WhatsApp does not notify you about the delivery status. The message will remain with a single checkmark (indicating it was sent but not delivered), and you won't see any double checkmarks or read receipts.
-
Last Seen Status: If you have previously saved the contact information of the person who has blocked you, you will no longer be able to see their "last seen" status. This feature, which shows when a user was last active on WhatsApp, is hidden from you once you are added to the block list.
-
Group Interactions: If both of you are part of the same group chat, you will still be able to send messages within that group. However, any messages or media files sent by you directly to the person who has blocked you will not be delivered and will remain undelivered in your outgoing message list.
-
Call Functionality: Similar to messaging, making a call to someone who has blocked you will not go through. The call will fail to connect, and you won't receive any notification or alert indicating that the call was blocked.
-
Profile Visibility: You will lose access to view the profile picture, about section, and status updates of the person who has added you to their block list. These elements will become unavailable in your contact information for that user.
-
Notification Absence: Since WhatsApp does not notify users when they are blocked, there is no direct alert or notification indicating that someone has added you to their block list. You may only infer this based on the inability to communicate effectively with the person and the lack of delivery status for your messages.
-
Mutual Contacts: If you have any mutual contacts with the person who has blocked you, they will still be able to communicate with that person as usual. Your block status does not affect other users' ability to interact with the person who has added you to their block list.
In summary, being added to someone's contact block list on WhatsApp significantly limits your ability to communicate directly with them. While group interactions remain unaffected, direct messages and calls will fail to deliver or connect, and you won't have access to certain profile information of the person who has blocked you.
