Handy: this way you know if someone is blocking you on WhatsApp
Find out if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp with these handy tricks.
WhatsApp is and remains the largest messaging service. Not a day goes by that we don’t send dozens of messages to each other. But what’s worse than not getting a response? Usually you don’t know why, but it could be that you are blocked. You never know for sure. With these tips you will get closer to the truth.
How do you know if someone is blocking you?
Okay, you have strong suspicions that you are being blocked yourself. That sucks. You cannot find this anywhere in the app, so you will really have to estimate it yourself. The first indication is, of course, that he or she no longer answers your messages at all. This already causes irritation. Also, you can no longer see the avatar of the person. Hmmmm, that’s suspicious. Especially if you can no longer see whether someone has been online. You can also turn this off, so it’s not a certainty. This also applies to the status update.
Another indication are the well-known check marks. The message has arrived at two check marks. Messages never arrive with blocked contacts. So if only one remains, it may be that you have been blocked. But you can also turn this off. Last ultimate attempt is to call someone. And then via WhatsApp, because those calls won’t get through if you’re blocked.
The bottom line is that you can never be completely sure. The company reports that they have “deliberately made it vague.” “We did this to protect your privacy when you block someone. Because of this, we can’t tell you whether you’ve been blocked by someone.’
Block someone yourself
If you want to use the function yourself and block a stalker, go to ‘Account’ and then click on ‘Privacy’. You can block people there. If an unwanted and unknown person sends you a message, enter the phone number at the top. Tap this, and open the profile to block someone. You can find this function at the bottom.
