Here’s what happens when you delete a contact on WhatsApp
As soon as you delete a contact from your address book , the other contact will be able to see your profile, write to you, and check if you are online. What it will not be able to do is check the status of your WhatsApp.
Your status view can’t be seen by someone who isn’t in your address book. This is because WhatsApp allows the display of the status only on condition that the two contacts are in possession of each other’s phone numbers, and present in the contacts directory.
Can you find out which contact has been deleted from my address book?
Now that we have seen what happens if I delete a contact on WhatsApp, and understand what it sees, it is time to respond to something equally important. That is, can he understand the contact that he has been deleted?
The answer is no. Unless you decide to block the WhatsApp contact, the other person will never know that you have deleted their contact from your WhatsApp contact list. This is because as we have seen previously, once the contact has been deleted he will be able to continue to see our online status / last access (unless we decide to deactivate it) and send us messages.
Otherwise in case we will decide to block the WhatsApp contact. In this case he will understand it immediately, he will no longer see our profile picture, our status, and the sending of messages will be displayed in his chat with only a tick.
How do I know if I have been deleted from a WhatsApp contact?
If we are in the opposite situation, that is, do we know if we have been eliminated by a specific contact? The things to do are very simple. The first solution , and also the most effective, is to send a message and see what type of check we display.
If the tick is only one for a long period, such as more than 2 days, then we can be sure that we have been blocked by the contact, and probably also deleted from his WhatsApp contact list.
The other solution is to check the WhatsApp status. But be careful, because this will only work if we are aware that the contact frequently updates their WhatsApp status. If we are sure that previously the contact updated his status very frequently, and all of a sudden we no longer see anything, most likely we have been deleted from his WhatsApp contact list.
As a last resort to understand if you have been deleted from a WhatsApp contact, you can ask a friend of yours, in confidence with the contact you suspect has been deleted, to observe how the contact displays. In the event that your friend sees his WhatsApp status, you can assume with certainty that you have been deleted from his contact list.
Conclusion
With that is all. I decided to concisely summarize everything you need to know and all the behind the scenes that happens if you decide to delete a contact on WhatsApp. I hope this guide has been useful to you. As always if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to write a comment below.
