Did someone secretly block you on WhatsApp? This trick will help you find out in seconds, no need for an app.

WhatsApp has become the easiest and fastest way to communicate digitally. So when someone suddenly stops replying, their profile photo disappears, or their last seen disappears, the first thought that comes to mind is: "Has the other person blocked me?" Since the app doesn't send a direct notification, a block can only be determined by observing certain changes.

The first thing that comes to mind is the last seen and online status. These disappear completely upon blocking. While it's possible the other person may have hidden these in their privacy settings, if they don't appear for several days, suspicions are heightened.

Similarly, the sudden removal of their profile photo is also a major sign. If the DP was previously visible but now only shows a blank icon, and this change is only visible in your chats, the likelihood of being blocked increases.

The next most important clues are from messaging and calls. If a message sent on WhatsApp always gets stuck on the same tick mark no matter how many times you send it, it means your message is not reaching the other person's phone.

Not only this, if when you make a call, the screen simply says "Calling..." and never changes to "Ringing...," this is also a very clear sign of being blocked. This can happen occasionally when the internet is down, but if it happens every time, the likelihood increases significantly.

The most sure sign is from being added to a group. If you try to add someone to a new WhatsApp group and the app tells you that the person cannot be added, it's almost certain that they have blocked you.

If you have indeed been blocked, there's no need to panic or get angry. Many people immediately confront the other person or harass them by sending messages from various platforms. This is the wrong approach. Blocking is a privacy decision and is often only temporary. If necessary, you can try communicating calmly and politely through another medium.
