Time needed: 5 minutes

Check If you have been blocked

  1. Online Status/Last Seen

    You will no longer be able to see their last seen or online status in the chat window.

  2. Profile Picture

    Their profile picture won’t be visible.

  3. Single Tick

    Any message you send to them will always show one checkmark, which means the message is sent. But the second tick will never appear which means the message is not delivered.

  4. Calls Will Not Go Through

    Any calls that you will make to them will not go through.

  5. Unable To Add The Number To A Group

    Try adding the number to a group conversation, if you see a message saying “You are not authorized to add this contact” this means you are blocked by the contact.

Pro Tip

You can uninstall WhatsApp, switch to a new number, and then try to contact that person via WhatsApp. If your messages are delivered that clearly shows your original number has been blocked by that contact.

If you see all of the above indicators this could mean that the person has blocked you on WhatsApp. However, there is a chance that you may not be blocked and there could be other possibilities too like the other person’s phone doesn’t have an active internet connection or maybe they have changed their privacy settings.

The best way to check whether you are blocked or not is to text the person from any other number to see if the double checkmark is showing, if it does then this means that you are blocked.

We hope these steps helped you with finding your current block status. Do you know any other trick to find out if you are blocked by someone on WhatsApp?
