How to Check if You're Blocked on WhatsApp

Know if Someone Blocked You on WhatsApp: 3 Simple Ways to Find Out

Have you ever wondered if someone blocked you on WhatsApp? If your messages are not being answered or you notice some strange changes, you might be worried about being blocked. 

In this article, we will share three simple ways to find out if you have been blocked on WhatsApp. These methods are easy to follow and will help you confirm whether your suspicions are true.

1.  Check the Profile Picture and Status

The first thing you do is look at the contact's profile picture and status:

• Profile Picture.  When someone blocks you, their profile picture may disappear, and you will see a blank or default image. If the profile picture does not change for an extended period (more than 12 hours). it could indicate that you have been blocked.

• Active Status. The "Last Seen" on "Online" status may also be hidden when someone blocks you. However, this could also happen if the person has turned off the active status or removed their profile picture for personal reasons.

So, while this is the helpful clue, it is not always a definite indicator of being blocked.

2.  Send a Message

The next method is to send a text message to the person:

• It you notice that your message shows only one gray tick, this means the message was sent but not delivered. Typically, when a message is delivered, it shows two gray ticks, and when read, it turns into two blue ticks.

• If the single gray tick remains for over 24 hours, it is another potential sign that you may have been blocked. However, other reasons could be, such as the person turning off read receipts or having connectivity issues.

3.  Create a WhatsApp Group

This method is the most reliable way to confirm if you have been blocked:

• Open WhatsApp and create a new group.

• Add the contact you think has blocked you.

• If receive an error message saying, "Unable to add this contact", or if you create the group but the person's name does not appear in the participants list, then it is almost certain that you have been blocked. WhatsApp does not allow you to add contacts who have blocked you to a group.

Additional Reliable Methods to Check if Someone Blocked You on WhatsApp

1. Observe Call Behavior

Sometimes, calling the contact via WhatsApp can provide clues:

• Unable to Connect: If you try to call the person on WhatsApp and the call never goes through or consistently shows "Calling" without switching to "Ringing," it could indicate that you’ve been blocked.

• Call Fails to Connect Multiple Times: If the issue persists despite a stable internet connection on both ends, it is another strong indicator of being blocked.

2. Check WhatsApp Web Status

If you use WhatsApp Web, you can test this additional way:

• No Access to Their Chat via WhatsApp Web: If you previously had an active conversation with the contact but can no longer access it on WhatsApp Web, this might hint at being blocked.

• Inaccessible Media or Links: If shared media or links from the blocked contact suddenly become unavailable, it might confirm your suspicion.

3. Observe Contact's Updates

Tracking updates like Stories or Status can also be helpful:

• No Status Updates: If the contact used to frequently post stories or updates but you no longer see any, it could indicate that you’ve been blocked.

• Shared Status Visibility: Ask a mutual contact if they can view the person's status updates. If they can but you can’t, this may be a sign of being blocked.
