Unlike some social networks, WhatsApp does not allow us to see who has blocked us by defaultIn the case of applications such as X (formerly Twitter), if we enter the profile of a user who blocked us, we will be informed. However, the fact that this reference does not appear in WhatsApp does not mean that we cannot know who blocked us.
There are several tricks to know if someone blocked us on WhatsAppbut there is one that is foolproof and that in a certain way will allow us to have a verified list with all the suspected blockers. It is nothing more and nothing less than resorting to the distribution lists.
Mailing lists, the keys to knowing if we have been blocked on WhatsApp
WhatsApp broadcast lists are used to send the same message to several people. Something that in certain circumstances might be convenient to use a group chat for, but it is not exactly the same. In fact, the main difference is that when you send a message to a broadcast list, the recipients receive it in their individual chat without knowing that you sent it to more people, while in a group chat everyone must be in that joint chat.
So the idea with the mailing lists is to be able to Send a message to all those suspected of having blocked us. Once we do this, a space will be created in WhatsApp where we can see which contacts on that list received the message and which ones read it (if they have this last option activated).
The steps to follow They are very simple. Once you open WhatsApp on your iPhone you must press the icon + that appears at the top right of the tab Chats. Then you must click on New diffusion and select those contacts you suspect you want to block. Then tap on Create and send any message you want them to receive (be clever so that, in case they haven’t blocked you, it’s a message with a good excuse).
Once sent you must Note who did not receive the message with the double gray checkWhile it is true that they may have their mobile phone turned off or be in an area without an Internet connection, the truth is that it will be strange if after hours and days they still do not receive it. Therefore, it will be the best sign that you have been blocked.
Of course, you should also observe other clues You may not see their profile picture, bio information, or statuses. Ultimately, you can write to them directly to ask or do it through another means. We know it’s uncomfortable, but if it’s really something that worries you, talking to them is the best way to do it, as it can also help you find out the reasons why they blocked you and fix it if it was a mistake.
