- The easiest way is to check that user’s last seen or online in the chat window. Although the user can change it from his privacy setting, but it is an indicator from which you can get a hint.
- If a user has blocked you on WhatsApp, then you will never see that user’s profile picture changed. You will always see the same profile picture that the user had for the last time they chatted. If you do not see the change in your profile picture for a long time, then it is possible that you have been blocked.
- If a contact has blocked you, you will only see a check mark when you send them a message. It means that the message has been sent from your side but if the double check mark is not coming on it then it means that the message has not been delivered.
- If you have been blocked by a contact, then you will not be able to call him through WhatsApp.
- It is possible that due to network problem, all these methods are not effective in knowing whether you are blocked or not. The last and best way is to create a WhatsApp group by adding that contact.

If you get such a message, then it is a certainty that that contact has blocked you.
