What happens to a contact when it is blocked from WhatsApp?
It is possible to block WhatsApp contacts , plus those that are annoying and with whom you no longer want to talk or receive any notifications, voice calls or video calls. So if you want to know what happens to the contacts we block, then I’ll explain it to you:
Can’t send you private messages
The first thing that a blocked user will not be able to do is not be able to send you any message through WhatsApp messaging , therefore, they will not be able to send you photos or videos or any other action within it.
This is a very important action for those users who send annoying messages, spam or malicious links, also for greater privacy of those contacts who simply do not want to receive any messages from them.
Your statuses and personal information is invisible
On the other hand, all the personal information in your profile, such as your username, your nickname, your information or description will be hidden from the person you blocked , so if they access your profile they will not be able to see it.
never see your profile picture
Another very noticeable thing is that you will not be able to see your profile picture , without a doubt the user you block from your whatsapp will not be able to see your profile picture. Noticing this, he may want to access your profile and since he cannot see your information and you do not receive his WhatsApp messages, he may claim that he has been blocked in your contacts.
It is also important that you know that the action of blocking someone does not remove them from your Whatsapp contact list or from your phone’s contact book. But if you want to delete a contact , you’ll need to do it from your phone’s contact list.
How can you access the list of your blocked WhatsApp?
It is important that you know that there is a way to access the list of blocked users within the WhatsApp application, and the procedure is very easy to follow, therefore, you must follow these steps according to the device you have:

Tap to unblock , this may give you an indication of the date you blocked it.
What are the steps to unblock a person on WhatsApp?
