Will messages be delivered if the subscriber has blocked me on WhatsApp - briefly?
If a subscriber has blocked you on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered to them. The block prevents any communication from reaching their device.
Will messages be delivered if the subscriber has blocked me on WhatsApp - in detail?
If you have been blocked by a contact on WhatsApp, the behavior of your messages will differ significantly from when communicating with an unblocked contact. Here is a detailed breakdown of what happens to your messages when someone has blocked you on WhatsApp:
-
Message Notification: When you send a message to someone who has blocked you, you will not receive any notification indicating that your message was not delivered. This means you won't see the typical double-check marks (blue for read receipts or gray for sent but unread) next to your messages. Instead, they will appear as if sent, with a single check mark, which indicates that WhatsApp has received your message but cannot confirm whether it was delivered to the recipient.
-
Message Delivery: In reality, your messages will not be delivered to the recipient who has blocked you. WhatsApp respects user privacy and blocks all incoming communication from blocked contacts. This includes text messages, media files (such as images, videos, or documents), voice notes, and even status updates.
-
Status Updates: Similarly, if you try to view someone's status update who has blocked you, your message will not be delivered, and you won't see their status. However, they can still see your status updates if they choose to unblock you or check your profile while remaining blocked.
-
Calls: Any calls you attempt to make to a blocked contact will also fail to connect. You may hear a message saying that the call failed because the recipient is not available on WhatsApp at this time, but in reality, they have blocked you and are preventing your calls from reaching them.
-
Group Chats: If you both are members of a group chat and the contact who has blocked you decides to leave the group, their messages will no longer be visible to you. However, if they remain in the group, you can still see their messages within that group chat, but they won't receive any of your direct messages outside the group context.
-
Block Detection: WhatsApp does not notify users when they have been blocked by someone else. Therefore, the only way to confirm if you have been blocked is through indirect signs such as the lack of delivery confirmation or failed calls.
In summary, when a subscriber has blocked you on WhatsApp, your messages will not be delivered. The single check mark you see indicates that WhatsApp has received your message but cannot guarantee its delivery to the recipient due to their privacy settings blocking you.
