Blocking someone on whatsapp
When you block someone on whatsapp, you have automatically prevented or stopped the person from having anything to do with you on whatsapp.
This includes calls and chat or text messages.
Also, your whatsapp information like whatsapp picture, about, whatsapp status, last seen and whatsapp online status will be invisible to the blocked number on your whatsapp account.
However, you can be able to check out the blocked number profile picture, about, whatsapp status but wont be able to see the blocked number online status or last seen.
This is typically of whatsapp.
On whatsapp, for you to be able to see someone’s last seen or online status, the other person should be able to see your online status and last seen as well. So if the other person can’t see your online status and last seen, you won’t be able to see the person’s online status and last seen on whatsapp.
This is how whatsapp works.
Aside from that, if you block someone on whatsapp, you won’t be able to send text messages or call the blocked number on whatsapp.
As the blocked number won’t be able to send you a text or call you on whatsapp, you as well won’t be able to send text messages or make calls to the blocked number on whatsapp.
This is quite different on iMessage as you can still send text messages to the blocked number even though the blocked number won’t be able to reply or send text messages to you.
