When we want to hide information for a person or have more security than whom we have added, WhatsApp offers a series of alternatives to protect our security and privacy from the contacts that we have added. But there is always a question to be sure that the person we have added or blocked still has access to our personal information, There are certain alternatives to corroborate that the person we have blocked I can't see our information or photo Profile, here we solve the doubt.
What happens when we block someone on WhatsApp?
The blocking tool appears when you write us an unknown number, we can continue chatting or block it directly, but what happens when we press the option to block a number, because in a simplified way this number is registered in our WhatsApp account in a black list of contacts that we restrict from having any type of contact with our phone number, depriving of all the information of our WhatsApp profile.
In a way, blocking is the most efficient way to cut any type of contact with any contact, Despite this, we must pay attention that this singular and exclusively blocks contact within the app, so that through a text message or external call to the application, you can also contact your number.
Then, if you intend to block it completely from the cell phone, there are other alternatives to achieve it, because WhatsApp is just an application and it is not directly connected to our SIM card.
Can anyone see your profile picture or write to you when it's locked?
As mentioned, WhatsApp deprives our information of the number or contact that we have blocked, limit it to only appear in your contact list, but without showing any type of trace of your device or your account so that WhatsApp reserves all the information of your account to the person who is blocked, in a simple and summarized way we can tell you what they see, and who can't see the contact. that you have blocked in the application.
- I can't access your profile picture, so that you see the default photo that WhatsApp uses when we create the account and we do not have a profile image.
- He can write you more, the messages will not arrive., WhatsApp cuts the sending and delivery of both multimedia text data to a blocked user, so you will only have one check.
- I can't see your WhatsApp statusSince everything you upload to your status is locked, will not show up in view of the blocked person, which guarantees that your information is protected.
- I can't see the last time you entered the app, so it doesn't matter when was the last time you opened the app, the blocked contact won't be able to see it either.
- I can't see if you're online, and the most important, The blocked contact will not even be able to see if you are connected or if you have the application open so that you can be writing with other numbers and the blocked number will not know.
The simply lock option turns you into a ghost in the contact list of the person who is blocked, blocking any type of access to your contact within the application, so in summary it cannot observe any of your activity in the application or logs.
The only thing left on the device is the chat pre-registration, but with the impossibility of not being able to receive a message from that contact that has been placed on the application's block list.
Another less restrictive way to prevent a contact from seeing your profile picture is to go to the application settings and within it choose account, and once inside choose the privacy option, our profile options will appear, where we will be able to adjust who can see our profile picture, Our information, the state and the moment of time, it also has the deactivation or activation of the reading confirmation in a way that limits the contacts to know if you read or opened a message.
