WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app on the market, both among Android and iOS users. There are times when we suspect that someone has blocked us in the well-known app. Since its market launch, the app allows us to block people, if we don't want them to contact us anymore.
How to know if someone has blocked us? There are various ways in which be able to detect this block in WhatsApp. So if we are suspecting or doubting if someone has blocked us in the well-known app, we can find out. They are a series of simple tricks, but they will allow us to quickly find out if someone has blocked us in this application.
The best thing is that we are going to use several of these methods, because if several of them confirm this, that is, if we see that what we are telling you happens, then we can be more sure that we have suffered that block from the other person. on WhatsApp. All these methods are quick and simple, making it accessible to any user in the messaging app on Android and iOS. Thus, in a few minutes you can get rid of doubts about it.
I don't see your profile picture
One of the first indicators that someone has blocked us on WhatsApp is if we stop seeing your profile picture in the app. Although this does not always mean that this person has blocked us. If we see that that person who always had a profile picture, suddenly no longer has one, then it is something that we must take into account, it is a sign that something could have happened.
maybe that person you simply deleted us from your contacts and only let your contacts see that profile picture, so you wouldn't have blocked us, but you deleted us from your contacts. It may also be the case that this person has simply made the decision to delete their profile picture on WhatsApp. There are two possible options in this regard, which we must keep in mind in any case.
If we have stopped seeing that person's profile picture on WhatsApp, it is possible that we have suffered this block. But you have to check more things to know if it is really like that or not.
There is no double tick
As you know, the messaging application makes use of a tick system to confirm delivery of the messages. In this sense we have three different options, which then indicate the status of this message in question that we have sent. The three options we have in WhatsApp are:
- one tick: means the message has been sent to the other person.
- double tick: means that the message has been received by that other person.
- double blue tick: means that your message has been read by that recipient.
If you send a message to that person and it stays in a single tick, it means that this message has not reached that person. If that person has blocked us, then that message will never arrive. It will stay forever with that single tick. So this can serve as an indicator that we have suffered this blockage in WhatsApp, as was suspected until now.
Of course, this single tick may be temporary. If that person to whom we send the message does not have an Internet connection at that moment, the message will not arrive. But the moment you have a connection again, that message will arrive and then the double tick will appear. So you will have to check the status of the message, whether it is kept or not at all times with a tick.
You can't call this person
Another way to know If someone has blocked us on WhatsApp, try to call this person. The messaging app has the ability to make calls and video calls to other people. So it is a function that we are going to be able to use in this type of situation, if we have doubts about whether we have been blocked by someone or not. It is also one of the most reliable methods to find this out.
Unless that person does not have coverage at that time, something that should be punctual, if it is impossible to call this person on WhatsApp, then we already know that they have blocked us. This is something that we can easily check. Since if we try to make this call in the app, we will see that it is something impossible. So if despite making several attempts, we see that we cannot call that person, we can already know the reason. They have blocked us. This is something that will happen with both calls and video calls in the application.
You can't see if they are online
This is something that goes hand in hand with the previous options. In the second section we have mentioned that our messages do not reach this person, that they are left with only one tick, so that message has not been delivered. This is usually already a symptom or indicator that we have suffered this blockage in WhatsApp by the other person. Also, if this has happened, it is normal that we will not be able to see if this person is online or not in the app at any given time.
You may enter WhatsApp several times a day, to see if this person is online or not. But no matter when you enter, at none of those times is it possible for you to see if this person is in the app. If you have contacts in common, someone may tell you that this person is currently connected to the app, because they are talking to him. If you try to see this, but nothing comes up, it is impossible for you to see if this person is online, then we have been blocked.
In addition, this person may have had the option active shows your last connection time in the app. If you can't see this either, if it no longer tells you when this person was last active on the app, then that's another indicator that you've been blocked. So it is good to check these two aspects, if possible, to be able to clear up doubts about it.
You can't add her to groups
Another method that we can use to know if we have suffered this blockage in WhatsApp is this. If we want to get out of doubt, because we have seen that some of the previous options are fulfilled, we can try to add this person to a group in the application. Either a group that currently exists or if we create a group at that time, to be able to check this.
When we try to do this, we will be able to see that we are unable to add this person to that group. So this is an indicator that this person has blocked us on the app. On the other hand, you may both be in the same group in the app, especially if you have friends in common, for example. But it will still be impossible for you to send messages privately, so this is another way to know if this person has blocked you in the well-known messaging application.
Is there any way to unlock us?
This is a question that many users have. If someone has blocked us in the application, we want to know if there is any way to avoid or stop suffering from this block. As you can imagine, this is not possible. There is no way to unblock yourself from the app messaging. At least there is nothing that we are going to be able to do in this regard, because it is not something that depends on us.
That is to say, it is another person who has made the decision to block us on WhatsApp, for whatever reason. Therefore, it only depends on this other person whether we are going to be unlocked or not. If this person wants to keep us blocked, then we are going to be blocked and it will not be possible for us to be in contact with them. If that person changes their mind, and they make the decision to unblock us, then we can make contact with them again, but only then. So they are the ones who have to carry out this action at all times, if they think it is convenient.
It may happen that this person does it or that at some point tell us why we have been blocked on WhatsApp. So it's important that we keep this in mind, that we pay attention to their motives. Since it is possible that the reason why we have been blocked is our behavior, that this person did not like it or that it has not made them feel comfortable. Appropriate behavior towards other people can prevent us from suffering this blockage in WhatsApp in many cases.
