Characteristics of Blocked WhatsApp Contacts: Will They Know or Not?

KOMPAS.com – WhatsApp or usually abbreviated as WA, has a contact blocking or number blocking feature. As is quite commonly known, the WA blocking feature allows users to limit interactions with other people who they find annoying.

When the other person is blocked, he or she will no longer be able to contact the user on WA. Even though it is quite useful for limiting the interactions of other people who are considered annoying, users may be hesitant about blocking someone on WA.

Under certain conditions, a user may want to block someone on WA, but is worried that this action will be known by the person concerned and could potentially offend them.

In conditions like that, then will the person who is blocked on WA actually know? If you are interested in finding out more, here is an explanation of whether people who are blocked on WA will know.

Someone who is blocked on WA

Please note, WA numbers or contacts that have been blocked can only be known for certain by the blocking user. WhatsApp basically will not send notifications or notices to people the user has blocked.

To maintain privacy, WhatsApp will not notify someone that they have been blocked by a user. Even though there is no specific notification, there are still several characteristics that can be used to find out if a WA number has been blocked.

So, what are the characteristics of a blocked WA number? For more details, here are the characteristics of blocked WA which can be used to find out whether our number has been blocked or not.

WA features are blocked

There are signs that WhatsApp has been blocked by someone else. One of them is that we can see the mark on the chat sent, namely only one tick. Some general characteristics of WhatsApp being blocked are as follows:

Chat only check one Blank profile photo Can’t make phone calls Can’t see “Last Seen” and “Online” status Can’t invite to WA group Can’t see WA status

These are the general characteristics of WhatsApp being blocked. The explanation for each sign of WA being blocked by someone else is as follows.

1. Chat only ticks one

The first characteristic of our WA number being blocked is that chat only ticks one. So when you send a chat to a contact who is indicated to have blocked us, the chat will only have one check mark, aka not entered or not sent.

2. Blank profile photo

The second characteristic of WA being blocked by someone is that the profile photo of the contact who is indicated as blocking us is missing or empty. The contact may have previously posted a profile photo, but after being blocked by him, we suddenly cannot see the profile photo.

3. Cannot make phone calls

Third, a sign that WA is blocked is that you cannot make phone calls. If you contact a WA contact who is indicated to have blocked us, the phone call will not go through to them. Calls only have the status “Calling”, not “Ringing”.

4. Can’t see “Last Seen” and “Online” status

When we are blocked by someone on WA, the next sign is that we cannot see the “Last Seen” or “Last Seen” status and “Online” status of the related contact.

If the contact previously activated these two statuses, when we are blocked, we suddenly can no longer see the “Last Seen” and “Online” statuses from him.

5. Cannot invite to WA group

The fifth sign that WA is blocked by other people is that we cannot invite them to the group. If you invite people who are indicated to have blocked us to the group, a warning will appear such as “Couldn’t add…”.

6. Can’t see WA status

Lastly, the characteristic of WA being blocked is that we cannot see the WA status of the contact who is indicated to have blocked us. If previously we could see the WA status of that contact, when it was blocked, we suddenly couldn’t see it anymore.
