What happens when you are blocked on WhatsApp - briefly?
When you are blocked on WhatsApp, your messages will no longer be delivered to the person who blocked you, and you will not see updates to their profile picture or status. Additionally, any calls made to them will go unanswered.
What happens when you are blocked on WhatsApp - in detail?
When you are blocked on WhatsApp, several noticeable changes occur in your interaction with the contact who has blocked you. Here is a detailed breakdown of what happens:
-
Message Delivery Status: One of the most immediate indicators that you have been blocked is the change in message delivery status. Typically, messages sent to a contact will show one check mark (indicating the message has been sent) and two check marks once delivered (and read, if applicable). However, when you are blocked, your messages will only show one check mark, indicating they were sent but not delivered to the recipient's phone.
-
Profile Picture: The profile picture of the person who blocked you will no longer be visible to you. Instead, you may see a default image or placeholder where their picture used to be. This is because WhatsApp restricts access to certain features when someone blocks another user.
-
About Information: Similarly, any information in the "About" section of the contact's profile will no longer be visible to you. This includes any status updates or changes they may have made after blocking you.
-
Call Functionality: You will not be able to make voice or video calls to the person who has blocked you. If you attempt to call, the call will fail and you will see a message indicating that your call did not connect. This restriction is put in place to ensure that blocked users cannot disturb the person who initiated the block.
-
Last Seen Status: The "Last Seen" status of the person who blocked you will no longer be visible to you. Instead, you may see a message indicating that their last seen status is unavailable. This feature is designed to protect the privacy of users who have chosen to block others.
-
Group Interactions: If both of you are part of the same group, you can still send messages within the group, and they will be delivered to all members, including the person who blocked you. However, your direct messages to them will not be delivered, and their messages to you outside the group will show only one check mark.
-
No Notification: You will not receive any notification from WhatsApp informing you that you have been blocked. The changes mentioned above serve as indirect indicators of the block.
-
Contact Status: You can still see the contact in your list, and they will appear as if they are online if they are using WhatsApp at the same time you are. However, you will not be able to send them messages or make calls directly.
These changes collectively indicate that you have been blocked on WhatsApp. It is important to respect the privacy and choices of others when it comes to communication preferences.
