You’re not the only one who wonders if you’ve been blocked on WhatsApp. Although WhatsApp does not alert users when they are blocked, there are a few methods to learn about it. You can get a decent notion by combining these methods, however no single method is infallible. Let’s dissect it.
Check Their Last Seen Status
You should look at their “Last Seen” status first. This feature displays the user’s most recent internet activity.
- Open a chat with them.
- Look up their name to start a new chat if you don’t already have one.
- They haven’t blocked you if you see anything like “Last seen today at 10:30 AM.”
- They might have blocked you if there is no last seen information, or they might have just disabled their last seen for privacy reasons.
Therefore, even though this isn’t a clear indication, it’s an excellent place to start.
Check the Message Checkmarks
WhatsApp indicates the status of messages with checkmarks:
- Message sent marked with a single gray checkmark.
- Two gray checkmarks indicate that the message was received.
- Message read is indicated by two blue checkmarks.
It’s likely that you have been blocked if your communications only ever get one gray checkmark and never receive a second one. This could potentially indicate that the individual is offline or lost their phone.
Look for Profile Picture Updates
You won’t be able to view someone’s most recent profile photo if they block you. Another indication can be if their profile picture stops updating over time or vanishes entirely. Don’t rely solely on this hint, though, as some persons don’t often change their photos.
Try Adding Them to a Group Chat
Attempting to add the individual to a group chat is one of the best ways to find out if you’ve been blocked.
- Launch WhatsApp, then make a new group.
- Include that person in the group.
If you receive an error message that reads, “Can’t add participant,” it’s probably because you’ve been blocked. This approach is nearly always successful.
Attempt Calling Them on WhatsApp
Your calls cannot be received by a blocked contact. Try using WhatsApp to give them a call:
- You’ve probably been blocked if the call doesn’t go through, rings repeatedly without a response, or displays the message “unsuccessful call.”
