Do all your friends and acquaintances have you in their Whatsapp? Are you on their contact list? It is impossible to answer this question without violating the privacy of users. It all comes down to a mere question of trust. But the truth is yes there is a way to know if a contact has been deleted from WhatsApp. That is what we are going to find out today.
WhatsApp and the rest of the instant messaging applications have forever revolutionized the way we communicate. And not just with our friends and acquaintances. In fact, it is already used in almost all areas, also for work or professional issues. In theory, all of this should make our lives easier. However, sometimes WhatsApp can also be a source of conflict.
One of them can be this. And surely that happens to everyone or has happened at some time: we believe we are in the contact list of a person we have as a friend, or of someone who has to contact us for some more or less important question (an appointment or a job interview, for example). But that call or that message does not arrive. And it will never come because We are not even on their list.
But it's not just about that. When a person removes us from their WhatsApp contacts, there is certain information that will remain hidden and cannot be accessed unless we are added again.
Find out that we've been removed from someone's list it can be frustrating. The decision to delete a contact can come after an argument or disagreement. In these cases, the elimination lasts as long as it takes for the reconciliation to take place. Other times it is done because the person who eliminates us thinks that we have no interest for them.
Has our contact been deleted? Tricks to know
How to know if a contact has been deleted from WhatsApp
Unlike other social networks such as Instagram or Facebook, WhatsApp will not notify us if we have been deleted or deleted by someone. But there are certain Tricks to know…
States
Here is the first clue that will help us know if a contact has been deleted from WhatsApp. Many times users decide that only friends that they have scheduled can see their statuses. In these cases, if we cannot see them, it is probably because we are no longer on your list.
Profile picture
Another way to find out if someone has removed us from their WhatsApp list is through their profile picture. If a friend, relative, neighbor, coworker that we have added in the app appears without a profile photo, it is most likely that they have deleted us from their contacts. Although there is also the possibility, unlikely, that he has decided not to have a profile. Everything is possible.
Last connection time
It's not a foolproof trick, but it can do the trick. If a contact has been deleted from WhatsApp, the information about the last connection time will not be displayed. What happens is that many users of this app use the option to never show this information, so this method will not always reveal the true situation.
Groups
A final test that can be tried is to try to add a group to that contact from whose list you suspect they have been removed. If by chance that person has the "ban on inviting groups from strangers" option activated, the verdict is clear.
Contact blocked on WhatsApp
Block contacts on WhatsApp (and get blocked)
All of the above refers to the question of knowing if a contact has been removed from WhatsApp. In case of having been locked, the thing is complicated. What happens then?
- To begin with, when this happens all direct communication with the blocked contact via WhatsApp will be impossible. If we try to send messages to the user who has blocked us, they will never reach their destination. It must be said that in the same way the other user will not be able to send us anything either. The same applies to calls.
- As a blocked contact, We will also not be able to access the information about the status of the user who has imposed the block on us. The same will happen with the profile photo. Instead, a white silhouette will appear by default on a gray background.
- Neither can know the last connection time who has blocked us, or if they are online or not.
After unlocking
If, for whatever reason, the contact that has blocked us changes their mind and decides to lift the block, almost everything will back to normal. Most importantly, WhatsApp call and message traffic will be automatically retrieved. Of course, the messages sent and the calls made during the period that the lockout lasted will be irretrievably lost.
