WhatsApp Tips: Who has blocked you on WhatsApp? The app itself doesn't tell you, but this trick reveals everything..

In today's digital world, WhatsApp has become an integral part of our daily communication. But sometimes, a person suddenly stops responding, or their profile seems to disappear. This raises the question: have they blocked you? WhatsApp doesn't provide a direct notification about this, so confirming it can be a bit difficult. However, there are some subtle signs and simple tests that can help you figure it out.

No ‘Last Seen’ or Online Status: If someone has blocked you, you won't be able to see their ‘Last Seen’ or ‘Online’ status. If you check repeatedly and this information is still not visible, it could be a sign. However, keep in mind that users can also hide their ‘Last Seen’ status through their privacy settings, so consider this only as an initial indicator.

Profile Picture Disappears or Doesn't Change: If someone has blocked you, you will only see a blank gray icon instead of their profile picture. Even if that person updates their display picture, you won't see the change. If their DP suddenly disappears, this can also be a strong indication of being blocked.

WhatsApp Calls Don't Connect: If your WhatsApp call only shows ‘Calling’ instead of ringing and then automatically disconnects, it could be a sign of being blocked. This is especially true if the other person appears to be online but the call still doesn't connect. However, keep in mind that a weak internet connection can also cause this problem.

Only One Tick on Messages: This is one of the clearest signs of being blocked. Normally, one tick means the message was sent, two gray ticks mean the message was delivered, and two blue ticks mean the message was read. If you've been blocked, the second tick never appears because your message doesn't reach the other person's phone.

Common Misconceptions: Many people panic, delete the chat, or directly confront the other person. This isn't necessary. Blocking is a personal privacy decision. Sometimes it can be temporary, or it might appear that way due to changes in privacy settings rather than a deliberate attempt to create distance.

What to do if you've been blocked? There's no need to panic or take it personally. Respect the other person's privacy and space. If communication is necessary, you can try contacting them through other means such as SMS, email, or a direct conversation.

While WhatsApp doesn't directly tell you if someone has blocked you, indicators like not seeing their "Last Seen" status, their profile picture disappearing, only seeing a single checkmark on your messages, calls not connecting, and being unable to add them to a group can give you a strong indication. However, it's important to consider all possibilities before jumping to any conclusions.
