How To Know If Someone Blocked You On WhatsApp

As people commonly make mistakes to do something unknowingly, blocking someone on WhatsApp often happens by people doing it intentionally and sometimes by a user's mistake. 

Having been trying several times to send a WhatsApp message without seeing any feedback, this could be a potential indicator that the receiver has blocked your WhatsApp number from reaching him out in any way like messaging him, adding to a group, or receiving your voice and video calls. 

On the other hand, you might think that someone blocked you on WhatsApp but you're likely not been blocked because WhatsApp doesn't send any notification to tell you that someone plugged you up. Still, the receiver might not be active on WhatsApp for long periods to get your message or he doesn't want to expose his privacy by disabling some features like "last seen" and  "online" status or removing his profile picture. 

From there you'll need to check possible indicators that give you a clue of whether your WhatsApp number is blocked by a specific person or is something else.

Quick Tip: there is no specific way that will certainly tell that you are been blocked on WhatsApp, only you can look at some hints. Because aside from not being notified by WhatsApp when someone banned your number, they even allow you to send him a message, only it will not be delivered. 

Here are the simplest ways to identify if someone blocked you on WhatsApp. 

1. Have your messages been delivered? 

If you suspect that a person ban your number on WhatsApp check out the messages you've sent to him does it marked as delivered or only sent? If you see two check marks (with black or blue colors) next to the messages it means you are not blocked, but if you only see one check mark for any messages you sent, this has two possibilities, either you are blocked or a user is not active for a long period or deleted his account. If you still want to confirm your status head to the next method. 

2. Were you always seeing a blank Profile picture? 

Sometimes, we remove our profile picture from WhatsApp for privacy, but in some instances, not seeing a profile picture on a person's account details is an indication that he blocked you. Once a user plugged you up, you will not be able to see his profile picture or any updates he made. One important aspect that is related to this is online status. 

3. Could you see his Online Status? 

If you can see "last seen" or "online" in his status bar then he can still receive your messages. But always seeing a blank status bar is not a good sign, either he blocked you or he deleted his WhatsApp account. Still, there is more to check... 

4. Try Adding a number to a WhatsApp group 

You can create a temporary group and try adding him. If you could succeed in adding him then you are still together, but if you see a warning notice that "you can't add..." this means he blocked your number. 

5. Can't process WhatsApp calls

If attempt audio or video calling a person but can't reach him this gives you a hint that such person blocked you on WhatsApp. But how can you unblock yourself without the person knowing?
