First of all, keep in mind that whenever you block any person on WhatsApp, you stop receiving messages, voice or video calls and status updates from that person. Also your last seen online status updates and changes made to your profile photo will not be visible to the blocked contact. It’s also important to remember that blocking a contact on WhatsApp doesn’t remove them from your contact list, or they can still call or text you outside of WhatsApp. If you don’t want that then you have to block that contact from your phone as well. Also, if you unblock the blocked user in the future, you will not receive any messages or voice/video call notifications or status updates sent by that person for the entire time period of blocking.
