How can you know if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp?

Knowing if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp can be inferred through several indicators, although WhatsApp does not provide a direct notification or confirmation. Here are some common signs that may indicate you have been blocked:

1. **Profile Picture and Status**:
   - You cannot see the contact's profile picture or status updates anymore. It will either appear blank or remain stuck on the last seen profile picture and status before the block.

2. **Last Seen and Online Status**:
   - You cannot see the contact's last seen or online status updates anymore. It will not update, and you won't be able to see when they were last active on WhatsApp.

3. **Messages Sent and Delivered**:
   - Messages sent to a blocked contact will only show a single checkmark (message sent) and not double checkmarks (message delivered).
   - However, this could also happen if the recipient has turned off read receipts or if there are network issues.

4. **Calls and Video Calls**:
   - You cannot place voice or video calls to a blocked contact. The call will not go through, or you may hear a continuous ringing without an answer.

5. **Group Chats**:
   - If the blocked contact is part of a group chat, you will see their messages, but you won't see their updates (profile picture, status changes) within the group.

### Additional Considerations:

- **Privacy Settings**: Some users may restrict their privacy settings to limit what others can see. Before concluding that you've been blocked, consider if the contact may have changed their settings.

- **Unsurety**: These indicators are not definitive proof of being blocked, as they can also occur due to other reasons such as internet connectivity issues or changes in privacy settings.

- **Direct Confirmation**: WhatsApp does not notify users if they have been blocked. If you suspect you've been blocked and want confirmation, you may need to reach out to the person through other means.

If you notice multiple signs consistently over a period of time, it might indicate that you have been blocked on WhatsApp. However, it's essential to consider other possibilities and context before drawing conclusions.
