Blocked contacts will no longer be able to call you or send you messages. Your last seen, online, status updates, and any changes made to your profile photo will no longer be visible to contacts you've blocked.
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.
We have made this intentionally ambiguous in order to protect your privacy when you block someone. Thus, we cannot tell you if you are being blocked by someone else.
(1) Message, photo, status and 'Last seen': Upon being blocked, a user's photo, status, 'Last Seen' and message, all disappear from the blocker's app. Conversely, a user can also hide these items from someone, without necessarily blocking them.
Blocked text messages disappear
When someone that you've blocked texts you, their texts go nowhere. They won't receive any notification that they're blocked, and their messages will still look like they've been sent.
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. If you unblock a contact or phone number that wasn't previously saved in your phone's address book, you won't be able to restore that contact or phone number to your device.
The psychology of blocking someone can evoke indignation and a sense of rejection, reminiscent of the social dynamics of high school. Blocking someone sends a clear message, but it's a cowardly move to run away and hide behind our devices.
It simply means that the other person has their phone turned off or that they're not using the Internet at the moment. They also might be having network issues. If you've been waiting for hours, but there's still only one tick, that doesn't mean that the other person is ignoring you.
Does the deleted contact know that they've been deleted? No, WhatsApp contacts won't know you've deleted them. However, they will know if you have blocked them as they won't be able to send you a message.
To better understand when blocking your ex is for the best and whether it can actually make you feel any better, I spoke to prominent couples' therapist Dr. Gary Brown. "Blocking your ex on social media after a breakup — particularly a very painful breakup — can certainly help you move on," Dr. Brown tells Elite Daily.
In many cases, blocking someone who disagrees with you starts a fire when there was nothing there to begin with--except for your own angry feelings. Blocking isn't just a mental health break. Use the option after lecturing someone and giving them no chance to respond and it's a manipulative move.
As a general rule of thumb, ignoring your ex and then getting back in contact later is used for getting an ex back. On the other hand, blocking an ex is probably one of the best ways to actually get over an ex, assuming you can keep them blocked.
One grey tick means the message has been sent, two grey ticks means the message has been received and two green ticks mean the message has been read. Users who have been blocked on WhatsApp will only ever see one grey tick. The is because, while a message may have been sent, WhatsApp will not deliver it to the contact.
Tap the person's name at the conversation to view their profile. When you are blocked on WhatsApp, a user's profile will never change to you. If you have reason to believe that this user has changed their status or profile photo and you can't see the changes, you may have been blocked.
Some WhatsApp users state that they can't see the profile photos of people who've blocked them at all. Either way, if you know someone's profile photo has changed and you can't see the new photo, it's likely you're blocked.
Where it is far from a weakness, but rather a strength, to recognise your limits and put them into action. By blocking someone, you create a physical boundary; you are crafting your social feed to meet your requirements.
Some people said that it's perfectly reasonable to block someone if they are being disrespectful or 'creepy' during your encounters and this doesn't make you a bad person, while others said they had been on the receiving end of being blocked and thought it to be rude.
He Will Feel Sad That You Blocked Him
It's not what you think. Yes, he will feel sad about losing you, and he will miss you. He might even reflect on some of his behaviors he knows were wrong. But all that sadness will be heavily overshadowed by his wounded pride and shattered ego.
Mute a WhatsApp chat by tapping and holding a chat and selecting the speaker with a line through it. Uncheck the box for "Show notifications" so you will not receive notifications from this chat as long as it is muted.

Check the "DELIVERED TO" heading.
Anyone who doesn't have your phone number in their contacts won't receive the broadcast message as a chat, so their name will only show up below the "DELIVERED TO" heading.
