Will a person know if I block them in WhatsApp - briefly?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they will not receive any notification or indication that they have been blocked. However, they may notice that messages are no longer being delivered or read, and your profile picture will no longer be visible to them.
Will a person know if I block them in WhatsApp - in detail?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, the application does not send any notification to the blocked user informing them of your action. This means that the person will not receive an alert or message indicating they have been blocked. However, there are several indicators that can suggest to a user that they may have been blocked:
-
Last Seen: The "Last Seen" status for the blocker's profile will no longer be visible to the blocked user. This information will remain hidden regardless of their privacy settings.
-
Profile Picture: If the blocked user tries to view the blocker's profile picture, it will not be visible to them. The image will appear as a default grey icon.
-
Messages: Any messages sent by the blocked user after they have been blocked will show only one checkmark (indicating that the message was sent but not delivered). They will not receive any "read" receipts or double checkmarks, even if the blocker reads their messages.
-
Calls: If the blocked user attempts to make a call to the blocker, the call will fail and they will see a notification stating that the call could not be completed.
-
Group Interactions: If both users are part of the same group, the blocked user might notice changes in their interactions within the group. For example, they may not be able to see new status updates from the blocker or any changes made by them within the group.
It is important to note that while these indicators can suggest to a person that they have been blocked, WhatsApp does not explicitly inform users when this happens. Therefore, the only way for someone to definitively know they have been blocked is through observation of these changes in their interactions with the other user.
