When you are blocked by someone on WhatsApp, you will not be able to see their last seen time. So, first what you need to do is to check the user’s “last seen” status. I hope you all must aware about how to check your contact’s last seen over WhatsApp. And if you are not, then there is nothing to bother about. Simply find and open your chat with the suspected contact. If you don’t have any chat with the user, then create a new one and the top of the chat window you will find a text, like- “last seen today at 13:26”. If you do not find any text over there, then it might be possible that you have been blocked by the user.

It does not provide surety about this, as WhatsApp includes feature through which you can easily hide your last seen. So just be patient, and let’s move onto next step.

2. Look for their profile changes

When you are blocked by someone, you lose accessibility to see their profile changes or new statuses. In other words, you won’t be able to see their updated profile picture and statuses. However, WhatsApp allows their users to hide profile picture and statuses as well. There also might be a possibility that your WhatsApp friend has never updated his profile picture, as there are many who never updated their profile picture or rarely updated their profiles.

So you can’t be decisive right now, to be decisive let’s move onto the next step that is to check messages delivery status.

(3) Check messages delivery status

WhatsApp provides us the ability to check whether our messages are delivered and seen by the recipient or not. We can easily check the status of messages. Here single check mark means that the message has been sent to the server. Two grey check marks indicate, your message has been delivered and is received by the recipient. The two blue check marks indicate that your message has been read by the user.

If the message you’ve sent shows a single check mark, then you might have been blocked, as your message is sent to the WhatsApp server but WhatsApp won’t deliver it to the contact. But still, we cannot justify exactly that you are being blocked or not, because it might be possible that your friend has no active internet connection. So let’s move onto the step below.

(4) Check through Mutual friends Profile

If you’ve got some mutual contacts with the suspected user, then you can easily find out whether you are blocked or not. If the contact’s last seen, profile picture, statuses etc are available on your friend’s account while not on yours, then the contact would have blocked you.

(5) Try WhatsApp Calling

If you call someone on WhatsApp and they never pick up, you might have been blocked. Because if someone has blocked you, they will not receive your call notification. So start by finding the user in your contact list and try to make a voice call. If the call is not connecting, this is not a good news. Either the user has blocked you or they don’t have wifi or mobile data to receive a call.
