When someone blocked you in WhatsApp, what happens - briefly?

When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, several changes occur immediately. 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.

When someone blocked you in WhatsApp, what happens - in detail?

When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, several changes occur that can help you understand the situation better. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens:

  1. Message Delivery Status: You will no longer see the checkmarks next to your messages sent to this person. Typically, one checkmark indicates the message has been sent, and two checkmarks confirm it has been delivered. When blocked, you will only see one checkmark, indicating that the message was sent but not delivered.

  2. Profile Picture and Status: You will no longer be able to view this person's profile picture or status updates. These features will appear blank or unavailable to you.

  3. Message Notifications: If you send a message to someone who has blocked you, it won’t show as "Delivered" or "Read". Instead, it may remain with only one checkmark, signifying that the message was sent but not delivered.

  4. Calls and Voice Messages: Any calls or voice messages you attempt to send will also fail to deliver. You might see a notification saying “Tap to try again” if you call this person, but it won’t go through.

  5. Group Conversations: If you are in a group conversation with the person who blocked you, your messages will still be delivered and visible to other members of the group, including the person who blocked you. However, they can mute or ignore your messages within that group.

  6. No Notification: You won’t receive any notification from WhatsApp indicating that you have been blocked. The only way to confirm this is by observing the changes listed above.

Understanding these indicators can help you recognize when someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, allowing you to adjust your communication approach accordingly.
