How to Know if You Are Blocked on WhatsApp

Introduction

  • Scenario: Chatting with friends, no replies received.
  • Question: Am I being blocked?
  • Purpose of the lecture: Provide free processes to confirm if you are blocked on WhatsApp.

Methods to Determine if You Are Blocked

Method 1: Check Contact Picture and Active Status

  • Block a contact on WhatsApp.
  • Observations:
    • Contact picture changes to 'none' after blocking.
    • Active status is no longer visible.
  • Note: Changes in picture and status may also occur if the other person changes/deletes their picture or turns off active status.
  • If these changes persist for 12 hours or more, you may be blocked.

Method 2: Send a Message

  • Send a text message to the contact.
  • Observations:
    • If you see only one tick mark (message sent, but not delivered), it may indicate being blocked.
  • If the one tick mark persists for more than 24 hours, it likely means you are blocked.
  • Note: This may also happen if the contact has disabled read receipts or active status.

Method 3: Create a Group

  • Create a new group on WhatsApp.
  • Add the suspected blocked contact to the group.
  • Observations:
    • If you are unable to add the contact to the group, it definitely means you have been blocked by them.

Conclusion

  • Summary of the three methods:
    1. Check contact picture and active status.
    2. Send a message and observe the tick marks.
    3. Create a group and try to add the contact.
