How to Know If Someone Has Blocked You on WhatsApp

As one of the most popular instant messaging apps, the popularity of WhatsApp can be attributed to the numerous features the app has to offer. One of these features is being able to block a person you no longer want to interact with. While this may be a good way to keep people you don’t want out of your contact lists, it can be problematic when you’re the one who has been blocked. What’s worse, there is no sure way to tell if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp.

If you suspect that someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, the following are just some of the signs to look out for.

Part 1. How to Know If Your Have Been Blocked on WhatsApp

Way 1: Check the Contact’s Last Seen Status

This is perhaps the easiest way to tell if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp. Just check the contact’s last seen or online status in the chat window since it is likely that they may have just changed the status.

Way 2: Check the Contact’s Profile Photo

Another way to tell if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp is to check their profile picture. If the person has blocked you, their profile photo will not change, you will always see the same photo in the chat window even after a long time.

Way 3: Send A Message to the Contact

If you send a message to someone who has blocked you on WhatsApp, the message will always show a single check mark – message sent, and show a second check mark – message delivered. As you well know, this means that while the message has been sent from your end, the contact has not received the message. Therefore, if you send your contacts a message and a week later it still shows one checkmark, then it is likely the person has blocked you.

Way 4: Make a WhatsApp Call to the Contact

You can also try to call the person you think that has blocked you. All WhatsApp calls to a contact that has blocked you will not go through. This is in fact one of the most effective ways to tell that someone has blocked you on WhatsApp.

Way 5: Create a WhatsApp Group with the Contact

Apart from trying to call the contact, another more effective way to tell if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp is to create a WhatsApp group with the person. If you do this and the contact has indeed blocked you, you will see a message saying “You are not authorized to add this contact”. This message is the clearest evidence that the person has blocked you.

Part 2. How to Block & Unblock Someone on WhatsApp

Like we mentioned above, blocking someone on WhatsApp can be a great way to keep unwanted people from your chat space. Here’s how to block and unblock contacts on WhatsApp:

Blocking a Contact on WhatsApp:

Follow these simple steps to block a contact on WhatsApp and free of spam messages or calls:

1. Open WhatsApp on your phone and then tap on the More options (three dots) icon.
2. Go to “Settings > Accounts” and then tap on “Privacy”.
3. Tap on the “Blocked Contacts” section and then select “Add”.
4. Now simply select the contact you would like to add to the Blocked contacts list.

If you want to block an unknown phone number, just open the WhatsApp chat with the unknown number and tap on “Block” to report and block that number.

Unblocking a Contact on WhatsApp:

If you would like to unblock a contact previously blocked, follow these simple steps:

1. Open WhatsApp and once again tap the More options, then open the Settings.
2. Tap “Account > Privacy” and then select “Blocked contacts”.
3. Tap on a contact you would like to unblock and a popup will appear asking you to unblock the contact. Tap “Unblock this Contact” to confirm the action.

After that, you will be able to send and receive messages, calls and status updates with that contact. But you still won’t be able to receive the messages the person sent you during the time they were blocked.
