Have you ever sent a WhatsApp message to a friend and it just won’t deliver? The frustration sets in, especially after a disagreement, and you start wondering if you’ve been blocked. While WhatsApp won’t explicitly tell you if you’re blocked, there are some signs to watch out for.
Users often struggle to grasp the nuances of WhatsApp’s blocking feature, leading to concerns about whether their messages are intentionally blocked or simply not going through.
Here are some major clues that suggest a contact may have blocked you:
1. **”Last Seen” status is hidden**: If you can’t see the ‘Last Seen’ status of the contact, it could indicate that you’ve been blocked. WhatsApp conceals this feature from blocked contacts.
2. **Unable to view WhatsApp bio**: If the contact’s WhatsApp bio is not visible to you, it could be a sign of being blocked. Access to a blocked contact’s bio is restricted.
3. **Unavailable WhatsApp status**: If you can’t see the contact’s WhatsApp status updates, it might mean you’ve been blocked. Blocked users are unable to view the status of the contact.
4. **Hidden profile picture**: The inability to see the contact’s profile picture could indicate that you’ve been blocked. WhatsApp hides profile images from blocked contacts.
5. **Undeliverable messages**: If your messages show a single grey tick and are not delivered, it could be a sign of being blocked. Blocked contacts do not receive message deliveries.
6. **Voice and video calls are blocked**: If you can’t reach the contact via voice or video call, it could mean you’ve been blocked. Calls to blocked contacts are restricted on WhatsApp.
7. **Limitations on group chat**: If the contact cannot be added to a WhatsApp group, it might indicate that you’ve been blocked. Blocked contacts are not allowed to join groups.
So, if you’re experiencing these signs, it might be time to reassess your relationship with that contact on WhatsApp.
