Phones / What Happens When You Block Someone On Whatsapp? by flyingdagger(m): 9:44am On Jul 25, 2018 |
WhatsApp has become a very useful tool. It has revolutionized how we communicate, so much so SMS and MMS are almost a thing of the past. Groups, video calling and other features combine to make it as much a social media platform as it is a messaging service. However, this means we can befall some of the negtives inherent in social media. For the purposes of this oneHOWTO article, we specifically mean hearing from people you would rather not. This could be due to losing touch, simply not liking the person or, unfortunately, harassment. Blocking a contact can provide you some relief, but to ensure you are experiencing the privacy you deserve, we answer the question what happens after you block someone on WhatsApp? No direct communication with the blocked person The first thing you should know is that direct communication through WhatsApp with a blocked contact will be impossible. WhatsApp messages from a blocked contact sent to you will never reach your device. Neither will you be able to send messages to them. While direct messaging is one thing, they won't be able to call you on WhatsApp or video call you either. If you have a change of heart and do want to get in touch, you can only do this by unblocking them. You will be able to go into their messages as usual. You will even be able to type your message into the textbox. However, when it comes time to send, a prompt will appear notifying you that the only way the message will be sent is by unblocking them. It will give you the option to unblock them with a handy shortcut in this textbox, so you won't have to go back into their profile settings. On the phone of the blocked person, it will appear as if they can message you as normal. However, you will not receive the text. Unless they have turned this option off on their privacy settings, there is a tick system for sending and receiving messages. They are called read receipts and they work as follows: •A clockface indicating the message has yet to be sent •A single grey tick when the message is sent •Two grey ticks when the message is received by the device •Two blue ticks when the message has been read When you block someone and they message you, they will not get past the single grey tick stage. This is because you will not receive messages from a blocked contact until you unblock them. Hidden status and profile picture As we said before, WhatsApp is becoming more and more like a social media platform. One way this has been achieved is by creating a profile for WhatsApp users. This profile contains the following: •Contact information (phone number, email, etc.) •A profile picture •A contact's status •Media sent between you (pictures, video, audio, etc.) •Starred messages •Customizable alerts •Chat options After you have blocked a person, your profile and status updates will no longer be visible to the blocked person. Where the profile picture once was, you will see the default image of a white silhouette on a grey background. For many people, this might not be very important. This is unless you use WhatsApp’s 24 hour status feature. As WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, they have incorporated a similar feature to Instagram Stories (both essentially ripped off of Snapchat). This allows you to post videos and images which will be deleted automatically after 24 hours. The blocked person will also be unable to see these updates. They will not know when you are online The blocking of a WhatsApp user also affects your connection status. The user you have blocked will not know your last connection time. Most savvy WhatsApp users will have this function disabled anyway, but it remains a noteworthy feature. Moreover, it will not say whether you are connected or not. In short, a blocked user will not know if your last connection time or if you are online. Similarly, until you unblock them, you will be unable to see when they were last online. What happens when you block someone in a WhatsApp group chat? What happens when you are in a group chat with a person you have blocked? As it stands, the blocked person will still be able to see your messages in the group chat. You will also be able to read their group chat messages as well. If you still have the blocked person's number on your phone, the name of the person will appear as usual in the group chat. If you have deleted the person's number from your phone, only the person's phone number will appear on the screen when the person sends messages. This may confuse the blocked person. The messages they send you will appear with the aforementioned one grey tick. This might imply that you have not connected to WhatsApp. However, if they see you messaging in a group chat, this means they know you have connected. As the company has tried purposefully to obscure the fact a person has been blocked<1>, this is one of the few ways you are able to know if you have been blocked on WhatsApp. The only way of not receiving messages from a certain person in the group is for that person to be taken off the group. This can only be done by an administrator, so if you are not the administrator of the group and you don't have permission to do it, you cannot remove them from the group. Neither will blocking a person stop other people creating groups and putting you together. What doesn't happen when I block someone on WhatsApp? While we have been discussing what happens when you block someone on WhatsApp, it is also important to know the limitations of this feature. These include: •Past conversations: when you block someone on WhatsApp, the impact on their own app will be minimal. It will not delete any of your past conversations, nor restrict their access to them. This will also help hide the fact you blocked them in the first place. •Contact details: while your status updates and pictures will disappear, it will not delete your contact information on the person's phone. You will still have their contact information unless you delete them from your phone. If you do, the messages they have sent yo previously will only display their phone number, not the contact name you previously game them. •Group chats: as stated above, group chats where you together will be the only open line of communication. If you have deleted their contact info they will only come up as a number. •Their WhatsApp: other than communication with you, a blocked person will not use their WhatsApp any differently. As far as they are concerned, apart from you not replying, the app will work as normal. What if I unblock a contact? Before finishing we will explain quickly what happens when you unblock the contact. Essentially, everything that has changed will be reversed and you can resume normal communication. You will be able to message, call, video call and send files. Access to your 24 hour status feature will be restored and they will be able to see when you are on and offline (depending on your privacy settings). However, the information they tried to send you during the period of being blocked will not be retroactively restored. Essentially, when you block someone on WhatsApp, the information they tried to send you has been rejected by their servers. It has been cast off into cyberspace and it will never get back unless you try to send it again. Missed calls and status updates which have been and gone will never be visible. Hopefully now that you are both friends again, this will all be water under the bridge. If you don't want to block someone, but still need a little break, we also have more information on what the mute option does on WhatsApp. 2 Likes

Romance / Why Is She Doing This. by flyingdagger(m): 6:30am On Jul 14, 2018 |
Hello, please I need some advice cos I am puzzled at the moment. I have a girl who we both got separated at 16, she has always remained my heart. so we finally got talking after 10 years and it felt great connecting with her again. But then she suddenly changed and stopped picking my calls, replying my messages and even curved me when I requested we met up. I really don't understand why... this is someone I have been waiting all my life for. |

Chargers are a must if not the most important accessory of a mobile device, but we all know they can give you quite a worry irrespective of the price and quality or maybe luck especially when the original device charger gets damage. So we we will love to know how frequent you change your changers? |
