WhatsApp hasn’t officially rolled out a feature that tells you if someone has blocked you. However, there are ways to find out.
1 Check for Last seen: If you are not able to see the Online status or the Last Seen of the contact, there is a possibility you are blocked.
However, since WhatsApp allows people to hide their online status as well as last seen, solely relying on this trick isn’t a good idea.
2. Check Status and Profile photo: If you are not able to see the profile photo and status of your contact, then the user might have blocked you.
Do remember that WhatsApp allows users to hide profile photo from select contacts. The same goes for Status as well.
So, even though absence of profile pic might mean that you have been blocked, do lookout for other signs.
3. Send Message: Try to send a message to the contact if you don't get a double tick, then your message is not delivered. If the message is not delivered even after a few hours, then the contact has blocked you.
4. Call the contact: Try to call the contact. If the calling status doesn't change to 'Ringing,' then you are blocked.
5. Create a WhatsApp group: Try to create a WhatsApp group with the contact. If the contact has blocked you then you won't be able to add the person to the group.
