Tip 2: In such a scenario, WhatsApp suggests checking the online status of the contact. If someone blocked you on WhatsApp, the online status will not be visible to you even when they are online.
Tip 3: Check the profile photo of the contact you suspect blocked you on WhatsApp. If you cannot see the profile photo of the user, then chances are you are blocked. It can also be possible that the contact has deleted your phone number or his/her display photo. WhatsApp offers a feature wherein you can disable public appearance of your profile photo.
Tip 4: If you suspect that a contact has blocked you on WhatsApp, try calling the via the app. If you are blocked, the call will not go through. So, that will confirm whether you are blocked by someone on the messaging platform.

“If you see all of the indicators above for a contact, this could mean that the user is blocking you. However, there are other possibilities. We have made this intentionally ambiguous in order to protect your privacy when you block someone. Thus, we cannot tell you if you are being blocked by someone else,” WhatsApp noted in the FAQ page.
