Will you receive a message in WhatsApp stating that you have been blocked - in detail?
When someone blocks your number on WhatsApp, the platform does not send you a notification or message informing you of this action. This design choice is deliberate and aimed at preserving privacy and minimizing potential conflicts between users.
Here are some signs that might indicate you have been blocked:
- Undelivered Messages: If your messages to the contact are always showing one checkmark (indicating they were sent but not delivered), it could mean you've been blocked.
- No Profile Picture or Status Update: You won’t be able to see the person's profile picture, status updates, or any changes they make to their profile.
- Calls Don’t Connect: If you try to call the person and the call doesn’t go through, it might indicate that you have been blocked.
WhatsApp's design ensures that users who block others are not alerted about this action, which helps maintain a respectful and non-confrontational environment.
