It is impossible to 100% confirm a block on WhatsApp because the messenger does not specifically notify about blocks or provide clear indicators. This is essentially done to protect user privacy. However, there are indirect signs that, when combined, may indicate that another user has blocked you:
- You will not see confirmation that your message has been read by the other user (the double blue checkmarks);
- You cannot see updates to the contact's profile photo;
- You cannot make outgoing calls to them;
- You cannot add this contact to a group where you are an admin;
- You cannot see the contact's last seen time or any other statuses.
If you notice all these signs, it may (but not 100%) mean that the user has blocked you. However, there could be other reasons for this as well.
