Status Visibility Status messages will be hidden in the same way the last seen is hidden from the person you may have blocked. The status will be visible only after the unblocking process happens.
Note: If you unblock a contact, you won't receive any messages, calls, or status updates the contact sent you during the time they were blocked.
When you unblock a profile, you won't automatically be friends again. If you block a profile and then unblock it, you'll need to send that profile a new friend request. Profiles won't be notified when you block them.
Your last seen, online, status updates, and any changes made to your profile photo will no longer be visible to contacts you've blocked. Messages, calls, and status updates sent by the contact won't show up on your phone and won't be delivered to you.
If the user has WhatsApp open right now and you are not blocked, you'll see the word "Online" at the top of the conversation. If you don't see "Online," it can mean one of two things: The person doesn't have WhatsApp open on their screen, or they have blocked you.
The person may have blocked you.
If you were seeing a person's Last Seen status before but can no longer see it, it's possible they've blocked you. If the person blocked you, you also won't see updates to their contact photo, nor will you ever see a second checkmark on the messages you send to that person.
In case you have blocked someone on Whatsapp, you will not get any messages that the person sends to you as long as the contact is blocked. Once you unblock the contact, the messages were sent while you had blocked the contact won't be delivered at all.
Blocking someone on WhatsApp means you will no longer receive messages and calls from them. Someone you've blocked can't see your "last seen" timestamp or status and profile picture updates. There's no direct way for someone to know you've blocked them – WhatsApp doesn't notify them.
Using WhatsApp groups
If you do not want to delete your account or create a new one, then this is probably the only method left for you to unblock yourself on WhatsApp. Ask your friend to create a WhatsApp group between you, your friend, and the person who has blocked you.
The person will be able to see your public timeline and contact you based on your profile settings. When you unblock someone, they'll be able to see your public profile, tag you in photos, invite you to events, start conversations with you and add you as a friend.
If you were friends before blocking them, you'll have to add them as a friend again, as Facebook automatically unfriends someone you blocked. You can't block someone for 48 hours after you unblock them.
Keep in mind, if they blocked your number directly through their carrier, unblocking your number using the steps in that support article would not be sufficient in allowing you to send messages to them. They would need to contact their carrier to remove the block.
The psychology of blocking someone can have a harsh impact, with some individuals brushing it off while others become deeply aggrieved. This can lead to negative emotional reactions, ranging from sadness to anger and even depression. In extreme cases, it can cause a person to seek out and confront the blocker.
If your ex keeps blocking and unblocking you on social media, it's likely because they're hoping you'll reach out to them. By doing this, they can keep tabs on you and see what you're up to without having to directly communicate with you.
When you block a contact over Android or iPhone, they will still be able to send you text messages. These messages will not show up on your phone but the sender will see the messages as sent. They won't know that they've been blocked.
Thus, if you have been blocked, you will no longer send texts, nor can you view their profile picture. You will also not see their last seen activity and even they will also be barred from seeing your last seen until they unblock you and you will also not be updated about their status update.
Blocked messages will not come through when unblocked.
If you decide to unblock the person, you will receive the texts normally. However, if the blocked person calls and leaves you a voicemail, you can check it.
When you've been blocked on WhatsApp, the person's current display picture will remain the same, even if they change it in the future. Therefore, if someone's profile photo never changes, you may have been blocked. Caveat: Sometimes, people remove their photo or do not update it.
What does it mean if someone blocked you and then unblocked you again? Well simply means they didn't want you following there account. If they have unblocked you again it might mean that they thought they had given it enough time for you to forget about them, which is clearly not the case.
Scroll down to see the Block Contact button to prevent them from contacting your WhatsApp account. Simply tap the Block Contact button, and a confirmation window will appear. Tap Block to confirm, and that blocked contact won't be able to send you messages again.
You will just need the assistance of a common friend in this case. You can request your friend to form a WhatsApp group in which you and the individual who blocked you have been added. The individual who has blocked you will get every message sent in the group.
Changes to your privacy settings won't affect status updates you've sent already. If you've disabled read receipts, you won't be able to see who's viewed your status updates. If a contact has disabled read receipts, you won't be able to see if they've viewed your status updates.
At the bottom, you will find an eye icon. When you check someone's WhatsApp status they get to know that you have seen their status. Tapping on the eye icon will reveal the people who have viewed Status. But if you don't want to appear on the list of status views, here's how you can do that.
With the highlighted messages, three dots will appear at the top right corner of the screen. Tap those dots. A drop-down menu will appear. Select the option “Restore.”
