✎ Key Takes:
» You can determine if someone deleted their WhatsApp account or blocked you by checking their profile photo. If the photo is not visible, it suggests the user deleted their account. However, if others can see the photo but not you, it indicates a block.
» Attempt sending a message; if it remains stuck at “Sent” with one tick mark, the user likely deleted their profile. Conversely, if the message is undelivered only to you while others can send messages, it implies a block.
» If the user deleted their account, their number is removed from all groups. In the case of a block, you can still see each other’s messages in group chats. Furthermore, no new statuses are visible in a deleted account, whereas a blocked user won’t see each other’s new WhatsApp statuses.
How To Know If Someone Deleted WhatsApp Or Blocked You:
Look at these things and see changes:
1. Check WhatsApp Profile DP
✅ If Deleted WhatsApp:
To determine if someone deleted their WhatsApp profile, you need to check their display picture. When a person deletes their WhatsApp profile, their display picture turns gray, making it invisible to everyone on their contacts list.
You can ask two or three people to check if they can see the user’s display picture. If none of them can see it, it indicates that the user has deleted their WhatsApp profile.
Additionally, you can open the chat and observe if the last seen status appears on the top panel. However, if the last seen status doesn’t show up, it further suggests that the user has deleted their profile.
✅ If Blocked You on WhatsApp:
If the user has blocked you on WhatsApp, you won’t be able to view their display picture on their profile. Instead, their profile picture will appear invisible and gray to you.
However, others will still be able to see the user’s profile picture, indicating that you’ve been specifically blocked. To confirm, you can check the user’s profile picture from a second WhatsApp number or a friend’s WhatsApp number.
You’ll notice that the profile picture is visible to everyone except you. Additionally, check if the user’s last seen status is visible to you or not.
If the last seen status isn’t visible to you, it confirms that the user has indeed blocked you. Only when the user unblocks you will you regain visibility of their last seen status and profile picture.
2. Sending Messages on WhatsApp
✅ If Deleted WhatsApp:
When determining if a person has deleted their WhatsApp profile, you can observe the delivery status of messages sent to them. Pay attention to the tick marks displayed next to the messages you send.
If you send a message to someone who has deleted their WhatsApp profile, you’ll notice that your messages are not being delivered to them. Each message you send will display one gray tick mark next to it.
This applies to all messages sent to the user on WhatsApp. Any attempt to send messages to them will result in the messages not being delivered and displaying one gray tick mark.
In WhatsApp, a single gray tick mark indicates that the message has been sent but has not yet been delivered. If you observe that no messages are being delivered to the user from anyone, and all messages show a gray single tick mark, you can be certain that the user has deleted their profile.
✅ If Blocked You on WhatsApp:
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, your messages won’t reach them, as blocking is intended to prevent contact from you. After sending messages, you’ll notice that they display a single gray tick mark.
This single gray tick mark indicates that your message has been sent but not delivered to the recipient’s WhatsApp inbox. You’ll need to wait to see if your message eventually gets delivered.
If your message does get delivered, it will display two gray tick marks, indicating that the user has not blocked you.
However, when you’re blocked, only your messages will remain undelivered, while others can send messages to the user that will be successfully delivered.
3. Group Chats
✅ If Deleted WhatsApp:
When a user deletes their WhatsApp profile, you’ll notice that their WhatsApp number is removed from all the groups you share with them.
Once the user deletes their profile, their account ceases to exist, resulting in their number automatically being removed from the groups. While you’ll see that the person has left the group, it won’t explicitly mention that their profile has been deleted.
However, upon observing that the user has left all the groups simultaneously, you can infer that they have deleted their account, leading to the removal of their number from the groups. If the user reactivates their WhatsApp account, they’ll need to be re-added to the groups by the admins.
✅ If Blocked You on WhatsApp:
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, you can still view the user’s messages in group chats. Your mutual participation in common groups remains unaffected. While your personal messages won’t reach the user’s inbox, your messages in group chats will still be visible to them.
Being blocked by someone on WhatsApp doesn’t impact your participation in group chats. You won’t be removed from any groups, and your messages won’t be blocked.
All messages from the blocked user in the group will be visible to you, and you can reply to them like any other group participant. Since you can’t send messages to the user through your personal inbox, you can utilize group chats to communicate with them.
4. His WhatsApp Status
✅ If Deleted WhatsApp:
After a WhatsApp user deletes their profile, you won’t be able to view any status updates from them, as they won’t be using their profile to update statuses.
Following the deletion of their profile, they also won’t be able to see your status updates. However, once they reactivate their WhatsApp profile, they’ll be able to view your status only if your contact number is saved in their device.
Similarly, you’ll be able to view the user’s new status updates once they begin updating their status again after reopening their account.
✅ If Blocked You on WhatsApp:
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, you won’t be able to view their new status updates until they unblock you. Additionally, any statuses you update will not be visible to the blocked user.
However, you will still be able to see the user’s current status until it expires. Once their current status expires, typically after twenty-four hours, you will no longer have access to their new status updates.
How To Know If Someone Deactivated Their WhatsApp Account:
You can look at the following things:
1. No DP or Last Seen (For All Users)
To determine if someone has deactivated their WhatsApp profile, check if their display picture is visible.
Display pictures of deactivated accounts become invisible to all users and appear gray. You can verify this yourself and ask others if they can see the profile picture of the user.
If you find that no one can see the profile picture, it indicates that the user has deactivated their profile.
2. Messages Stay Undelivered and Neven has been Delivered Again
When a user deactivates their profile on WhatsApp, their WhatsApp number becomes disassociated from any account, causing your messages to them to go undelivered.
These undelivered messages will display one gray tick mark next to them. Even if the user reactivates their profile later on, these messages will not be delivered.
