JAKARTA - Maybe not a few are aware that someone has blocked your WhatsApp. This instant messaging application does present many features that can make it easier for its users, including the blocking feature, the goal is to block out contacts that are considered annoying.

However, what happens if your WhatsApp has been blocked by someone? Automatically, you can no longer send messages and make phone calls.

For that, the following VOI informs 5 characteristics of knowing that your WhatsApp contact has been blocked by a person you are talking to as reported by Gadgets Now, Sunday, February 23.

1. Latest Information Online

This first method is of course very easy to find out whether you are blocked or not. Although not always true, this is an indicator of information that is quite accurate if they usually use the last information online or last seen. But there is a possibility, they will immediately change this rule in the WhatsApp feature.

2. View Profile Photo Display

If you are blocked, the user's profile picture will no longer be updated. This means that you won't see a new profile picture every time they upload it. Else if not blocked, then you will always see the photos they use when chatting with you.

Although sometimes they don't use a profile picture and only the default avatar from WhatsApp is visible. It's possible that the person's profile picture hasn't changed because it doesn't always update it.

3. Check One

As usual, if the message is successfully sent to the recipient, it will show a double tick or a blue tick in the WhatsApp chat room. However, if it only shows one tick for a long enough time, then you are definitely blocked.

Because, any message sent to a blocked contact will always show one check mark, and never show a second check mark even though the chat opponent has unblocked you.

4. Make a Phone Call

This effort is claimed to be quite successful. The reason is if you make a call via WhatsApp to a contact who has blocked you, the call will not ring, but will just be cut off.

But you must make sure to call him repeatedly, it could be that those who are suspected of blocking your WhatsApp application are not connected to the internet network.

5. Create WhatsApp Groups with Contacts

While all of the above attempts could fail due to network errors, this last resort can answer all your doubts. Try to create a WhatsApp group with the contact you think has blocked you.

If you have invited them but are greeted by a message saying "You are not authorized to add this contact," then you are sure that you have been blocked by that contact.

After trying the various methods above, and still having questions why you are blocked, of course there are other ways, you can call them on a regular phone (with a number) or send a message to those who block you. Because it is not uncommon for people to only block via the WhatsApp application, but not with their cellphone number.
