Will a person know if you block them on WhatsApp - briefly?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they will not receive any notification or indication that they have been blocked. However, there are some signs they might notice, such as no longer seeing your profile picture, status updates, or the delivery and read receipts for their messages.
Will a person know if you block them on WhatsApp - in detail?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, the person you have blocked will not immediately be aware of your action. However, several signs may indicate that they have been blocked. Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens and what the other person might notice:
-
No Delivery Info: The most obvious sign is that messages sent to you will no longer show delivery info (the checkmarks next to the message). Instead, they will only show one checkmark, indicating that the message was successfully sent but not delivered.
-
Profile Picture and Status: The blocked person will no longer see any changes to your profile picture or status update. If they try to view these, it will appear as if you haven't updated them in a long time.
-
Calls: Any calls made from the blocked person to you will not go through. They may hear a message saying something like "The user is unavailable," but this can also happen for other reasons such as network issues or the other person having their phone off.
-
Group Chats: If both of you are part of group chats, the blocked person's messages in those groups will still be delivered and read by others. However, they won't see your replies to them directly.
-
No Contact Updates: Any changes to your contact information (like changing your phone number) will not be reflected on their device. They will continue to see the old information.
While these signs can indicate that someone has been blocked, they are not definitive proof. The other person could assume that you're simply offline or experiencing network issues. If they suspect being blocked, they might try contacting mutual friends to ask about your status or recent activities.
