WhatsApp: Am I blocked? How to tell

If you use the instant messenger WhatsApp, you have the option to block people. After that, you will no longer be able to receive files and messages from that contact. If someone has blocked you, you won't notice it right away. Nevertheless, there are some points by which you can recognize it.

How to tell if you've been blocked on WhatsApp

If you no longer want to receive messages from a particular contact, you can easily block them on WhatsApp. However, it is also possible that you have been blocked yourself.If you suspect that you have been blocked by a contact, check it using certain clues. All you have to do is check whether you still have access to the contact's information. If this is not the case, you have been blocked.

1. Once a contact blocks you, you will no longer see when they are online. Therefore, pay attention to when the contact was supposedly last online. If this is unusually long ago, he may have blocked you.
2. Also, the profile picture of the contact is replaced by the default avatar.
3. Go to the contact on the name to check whether you see the current status. If not, this is also an indication that you have been blocked.
4. Another clue is sending messages. If you send a message to a contact who has blocked you and it is not delivered, then you are most likely blocked.
