Finding out if you've been blocked on WhatsApp can be challenging, as the app doesn't send notifications when this happens. However, there are some signs that might suggest that someone has blocked you.
Six signs that may suggest that you have been blocked on WhatsApp:

See the points to note:
1. Undelivered messages:
If you send someone a message and it doesn't get delivered (only a confirmation icon is displayed), this could be a sign that you've been blocked.
However, it is important to note that there are other reasons why a message may not be delivered, such as connection issues.
2. No Status or “Last Seen”:
If the person's status isn't visible, it's possible that you've been blocked. In addition, blocked people are also unable to view the “last seen”, which indicates the date and time of the last time the person used the application.
However, this indication is not definitive, as the person may have simply disabled the “last seen” function in the application's privacy settings.
3. Missing profile picture:
If the person's profile picture is replaced with a default image of a white avatar on a gray background, as if they never added a photo, this could be another sign of blocking.
The app also hides the profile description of blocked users. The best way to check this is by accessing the contact's profile.
On iPhone, just tap the photo thumbnail at the top of the conversation. On Android, just tap the person's name.
4. Uncompleted calls:
Try calling the person you suspect has blocked you. If the call doesn't go through or you don't hear a ring, it's possible that you've been blocked.
However, as with messages, other technical reasons can cause a call to fail.
5. Online status check:
If the online status of a person you used to see has disappeared, this could be a sign of blockage.
However, like previous indications, this is not a definitive point, as the person may simply have changed their privacy settings to hide their status.
6. Creating a group with the person:
Try creating a WhatsApp group and invite the person in question. If you get a message that you can't add the person to a group, it's possible you've been blocked.
