How to Know if Someone Has Blocked You on WhatsApp: 5 Steps

WhatsApp is one of the most popular communication apps in the world. Its features are so engaging that people feel a sense of urgency when they need to communicate with their contacts. However, in such cases, the users might want to figure out if the contacts they want to reach out to have blocked them on WhatsApp or not. This blog will help the users find the answer to this question.

Meta's messaging app WhatsApp introduced the option to block harassing numbers for the convenience of its users, but sometimes someone may have blocked you too using this option.

But WhatsApp has not introduced this feature for its users which will notify you immediately if someone has blocked you.

• Likewise, there's no easy way to find out if you've been blocked, but it can be figured out with a few tricks.

Method 1

If you can check this user's number on WhatsApp to see when they were last online but still see the same status after a while, then it is likely that they have blocked you.

Method 2

Similarly, if you suddenly stop seeing your contact number's profile photo, the user will likely block you.

Similarly, it is also possible that the user has changed their picture, but if a user continuously uses a picture as a profile pic and it suddenly stops showing, it is an indication of being blocked.

Method 3

If you are not satisfied with the first two methods, then try sending a message to this user. If the message does not reach you, there are two possibilities.

1. One is that you have been blocked.
2. And the other is that this user has there is no internet.

Method 4

Similarly, if you suspect that you have been blocked, then call that user once on WhatsApp, if the call status does not show "Ringing", it means exactly the same as method 3 has been told.

Method 5

After trying all the procedures mentioned in the beginning, try this little procedure at the end.

If you think that you have been blocked on WhatsApp, try to create a WhatsApp group and try to add the same user to the group, which you suspect to be blocked.

If while adding to a group you get a WhatsApp message saying "You are not authorized to add this user" then there is a high probability that this user has blocked you.
