Will the blocked contact see my status if I block them in WhatsApp - briefly?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to view your status updates. Blocking effectively prevents the blocked user from seeing any of your shared content, including statuses.
Will the blocked contact see my status if I block them in WhatsApp - in detail?
When you block a contact on WhatsApp, they are effectively removed from your contacts list and will no longer be able to see your profile picture, about information, or any changes made to these sections. This includes updates to your status. Here's what happens in detail:
-
Status Visibility: Once you block a contact, they will not be able to view your status updates. This is because the blocked contact is no longer considered part of your contacts list, and WhatsApp does not allow non-contacts to view your status.
-
Message Delivery: Not only will the blocked contact not see your status, but they also won't receive any messages you send to them. If you try to send a message to a blocked contact, it will fail to deliver and you will be prompted with an error message indicating that the contact has been blocked.
-
Calls: Similarly, if you attempt to make a call or video call to a blocked contact, it will not go through. The blocked contact will neither see nor receive any form of communication from you until you decide to unblock them.
-
Profile Information: In addition to status updates, the blocked contact will also lose access to your profile picture and "About" information. They won't be able to view or update their records related to these aspects of your profile.
-
Mutual Groups: If you share a mutual group with the blocked contact, they will still be able to see any messages or status updates you post within that group. However, outside of the group context, they won't have access to your individual status updates or other personal information.
-
Re-adding Contact: If at some point you choose to unblock the contact, they will regain access to your profile picture and "About" information. However, any status updates posted while they were blocked will not be visible to them retroactively. They can only view new statuses posted after they have been unblocked.
In summary, blocking a contact on WhatsApp ensures that they do not see your status updates or receive any messages from you. This is part of WhatsApp's privacy measures to protect users from unwanted communication and potential harassment.
