With all the message traffic there is, it is normal to use the function that allows you to block contacts on WhatsApp, in order to avoid that unwelcome people can write to us or see if we are online. Being so simple to block a person on WhatsApp, it can be interesting to know what the effects of this action are and how we can find out if we have been blocked by someone who cannot read our messages. Unfortunately there is no such internal option to know who blocked us on WhatsApp, but by analyzing the effects caused by the various Whatsapp privacy settings and by doing some tests on the person who no longer replies to the messages, however, you can have a reasonable certainty of knowing if we have been blocked on WhatsApp .

How to know if we have been blocked on WhatsApp
To find out if we have been blocked on WhatsApp, just follow all the steps described below, so as to have almost absolute certainty that we can no longer dialogue with the user with whom we had opened the chat.Check the last access
The time of the last access appears under the name of the contact when you open a chat with him.
This last access is not indicated in the following cases:
- We or the user we are talking to have chosen to hide this time of last access in the privacy settings.
- The contact has chosen to show the time of last access only to his contacts in the address book and does not have our number in the address book.
- We have been stuck on Whatsapp.
This check does not give us any certainty but already has an alarm bell, a good starting point to understand if we have been really blocked or simply we are in front of a user who has raised his level of privacy to the maximum.
Let's not forget that if we have hidden the last access to all, we will not be able to see the last access of the others.
Send a message and check if it has been delivered
By sending any message to the contact that we think may have blocked us, we will have another valuable clue: you can in fact see if a double tick appears on our message, the one that identifies the receipt of a message on the other mobile phone, proof of the fact that we have not been blocked.
If, on the other hand, there is only one check mark, there are three cases: either the contact has changed the cell phone number, or the cell phone has been turned off or has blocked us. If every message we send has only one V next to it, it may be that we have been blocked and our number is blacklisted.
The problem with this test is that there is a trick to reading messages without being seen online and even without making the other person appear double checkmarked; but now we are already at two clues, we certainly have more than one suspect and we have almost certainly been blocked, even if for a series of coincidences it may not be so. If we find that every message sent has only one check mark and we can see the time of last access that is after the time of our message, then we have been blocked.
Check for status or image changes in the profile
Another clue may be that of a contact who, if previously he often changed the image or profile status, now remains always with the same photo. This state of immobility can be normal for many people, but it can be strange for others who like to change photos or write status messages often.
If you get stuck, you won't see a change in your profile picture or a new state.
the profile picture of the contact will be invisible to the user, since it may not appear in the following cases:
- The suspect contact has hidden his profile picture from the privacy settings.
- The visibility of the profile photo is limited to contacts in the address book only and our number is not saved in the contacts of the suspect.
- Our number has been blocked.
- The suspicious contact has not set any profile picture.
Thanks to this friend, you could easily find out if the profile picture or status has changed for him but not for us.
Make a call with WhatsApp
Trying to call a person via WhatsApp, if he never answers, it may be that we have been blocked; if a contact has blocked us, in fact, we will not be able to initiate any calls with him.
Certainly it may also be that this person never wants to answer us or that this person ends up blocking us precisely because of the continuous, annoying, call tests we do, so better try only once or twice to switch from "annoying users" to "users blocked. "
Add the contact to a group
If we believe that a contact has blocked us we can make a useful molot test: we can create a fake group, with an unsuspected title and try to add it.
If we have been blocked, you will receive an automatic message saying " Failed to add the contact " or " Failed to add ."
The drawback here is that if we have not been blocked then we will have to justify the addition to this group and therefore invent an excuse or something, but as a clue it is very valid: a user who blocked us cannot be added to our groups, so in case of error we are practically certain that we have been blocked .
Check the contact's WhatsApp status
When someone opens the WhatsApp app to write a message, the writing online will appear under their name; this function is always available and cannot be hidden by anyone.
If our number is blocked by someone, you will never see the text "online" under their name; in order to prove this clue we must always be with WhatsApp open until the other user uses WhatsApp at least once.
