The messaging app Wattsap has in recent years become the most popular messaging platform in the world and in Israel in particular. In New Year's Eve alone, about 100 billion messages were sent via Wetsap, and a new record was recorded on the platform. In Britain alone, no less than 900 million messages were sent. Surprisingly, the platform worked without any malfunction or delay, and coped exceptionally well with the high load. The app offers a wide variety of options, and unlike SMSs, it also allows users to be blocked so they can't send you messages. WhatsApp will not announce or signal that the person on the other side has blocked you, but there are several ways to identify it.

User does not answer? Here's how to identify if you've been blocked

It is important to note that some of the indicators that a person has blocked you can be eliminated, so it's not always a block, but a privacy setting. But this can also be verified and verified with another user's Wetsap account by adding the phone number and checking the sliders. If you are blocked on Wetsap, you will no longer be able to see the user image, including their status and when to log in or when connected to the platform. These four sliders can be changed in privacy settings and turned off, but if you send a message to a user, Wotsap will indicate that the message was sent but not received (one or two), or, in another case, make a voice call and it will not be answered. If all the criteria are met, the user can be assessed to have blocked you.

Get spam messages? This is how you can block them

WhatsApp allows for very easy and fast blocking, and even upgraded the convenience of a few years ago. To block a user, log in to settings, account, privacy and there you can add users under the "Blocked" menu. You can also enter a conversation with the user you want to block, click on their name, and in the menu that opens, click "Block user." To remove the block, do the same in the reverse order and remove it from the list.
