What will I see if someone blocks me on WhatsApp - briefly?
If someone blocks you on WhatsApp, you won't be able to view their profile picture or status updates anymore. Additionally, any messages you send will not be delivered and will show only one check mark instead of two.
What will I see if someone blocks me on WhatsApp - in detail?
If someone blocks you on WhatsApp, several noticeable changes occur in the way you interact with their profile and messages. Here is a detailed breakdown of what you can expect:
-
Profile Picture and Status: When blocked, you will no longer see the person's profile picture or status update. Their profile picture will be replaced with the default WhatsApp icon, which looks like a gray outline of a speech bubble on a white background. This is one of the most immediate indications that you have been blocked.
-
Message Delivery: Any messages you send to the person who has blocked you will remain with a single checkmark (✓), indicating that they have not been delivered. The message will never show two checkmarks (✓✓) or the "Read" status under your message, signaling that it was received and read by the recipient. This lack of delivery confirmation is another clear sign of being blocked.
-
No Last Seen or Online Status: You will not be able to see their last seen or online status. The "Last Seen" field in their chat window will be blank, and you won't see them as online even if they are active on WhatsApp. This feature is disabled for blocked contacts.
-
Calls: If you try to call the person who has blocked you, your call will not go through. You might hear a message saying that the call could not be completed or it may ring indefinitely without being answered.
-
Group Conversations: If you are part of a group conversation together, you can still send messages to the group and they will appear as delivered (with double checkmarks). However, the blocked person's messages in the group will not be visible to you. You also won’t see any changes made by them to their profile picture or status within the group.
-
No Updates on Contact Information: If the blocked contact changes their phone number, you will not receive any updates about this change. Your messages intended for them will remain undelivered with a single checkmark.
These observations collectively indicate that someone has blocked your number on WhatsApp. It is essential to respect the decision of the other person and refrain from attempting to contact them further unless they choose to unblock you.
