There are a few reasons why your messages might not reach the intended recipient on WhatsApp. One common reason is that the person you sent the message to may have their account set to private; in this case, only those approved by them can view their messages. Without approval, however, your sent messages won’t reach them.
Another possible explanation why your messages may not be delivered is if the person has set their privacy settings to “Nobody.” This means only those with that individual’s phone number saved in their address book can view their messages; if you don’t have access to that number, yours won’t be delivered either.

One last reason your messages may not be delivered is if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp. Once someone blocks you, all of their previous conversations with you will cease. To determine if someone has blocked you, try sending them a message from another account to see if it goes through.
Reason 1: The recipient has blocked you
If you think someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, there are several ways to confirm it. Check if the contact’s “last seen” or online status can be seen; if not, then this could indicate that they have blocked you.
Furthermore, if all messages sent to that contact show only a single checkmark, that means none have been delivered to their intended recipient – another indication that someone may have been blocked.
You can also try calling the person. If your call does not go through or if you are immediately redirected to voicemail, it could indicate that you have been blocked. However, keep in mind that they may simply be busy or have their phone turned off, so a failed call does not necessarily signify that someone has blocked you.
If you want to verify whether someone has blocked you, send a message through another WhatsApp account and see their profile picture if possible; double checkmarks indicate delivery failure if on original account
To confirm whether you’ve been blocked, check your list of blocked contacts. On Android devices, tap the three dots at the top right corner and go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Blocked contacts; on iOS devices, go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Blocked. If a contact is listed there, that means they have been disabled.
It is essential to respect the other person’s decision to block you. If someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, it likely means they don’t wish to communicate with you for personal reasons. Attempting other means or repeatedly messaging them via WhatsApp could be seen as harassment and make the situation worse.
Reason 2: Due to Poor Internet Connection
If you’re having difficulties sending or receiving messages on WhatsApp, it could be due to a slow internet connection. There are some steps you can take in order to try and improve your connection:
- Start up your phone or tablet and check if any other applications are using data in the background.
- Finally, move to another location – If reception is poor in one spot, try switching locations.
- Check if there’s an outage in your area – You can check for service outages on the WhatsApp Status page.
If you’re still having difficulties after taking these steps, it may be because the person with whom you’re trying to communicate has also got issues with their internet connection. In this instance, the best course of action would be for both of you to wait until both have a stable connection before trying again to message each other.
Steps to unblock someone on WhatsApp
To unblock someone on WhatsApp, you can take these general steps:
- To use WhatsApp on your device, open it and navigate to Settings by tapping the three dots or gear icon in the top-right corner.
- In Settings, select Account followed by Privacy. At the bottom of that same Privacy screen should be Blocked Contacts or Blocked.
- To unblock a contact, locate their name or number and tap on it.
- Select either Unblock or OK to confirm.
You may also use the steps provided below for different devices.
- On WhatsApp for iPhone or iPad, you can unblock a contact by tapping their chat history at the top of the screen, followed by their name at the top. This will take you to their Contact Info screen where you can tap on Unblock Contact button.
- On WhatsApp for Android, go to Settings and Account > Privacy > Blocked Contacts. Locate the contact you wish to unblock, tap their name, then hit Unblock in order to remove their block.
- Another method for unblocking a contact on WhatsApp for iPhone or iPad is to go to Privacy in Settings and select Blocked Contacts. Swipe left on the contact you wish to unblock and tap Unblock.
- On WhatsApp for iOS, you can navigate to Settings > Account > Privacy > Blocked and locate the contact you wish to unblock. Simply tap their name, followed by Unblock, to reveal their details.
- To unblock someone on WhatsApp for Windows and Mac, first link your account to WhatsApp Web. Then click on the three dots at the top-right corner of the chat section and select Settings > Blocked to locate who you wish to unblock.
If you’re having trouble unblocking someone on WhatsApp because they have blocked yourself first, there are some methods to try such as creating a group with another account or setting up an entirely new WhatsApp account.
Steps to Take If You’re Still Not Able to Send Messages
If you’re still having difficulty sending messages to one person on WhatsApp, there are a few steps you can take:
First, ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed. If not, update the app immediately.
Next, verify if the person you’re messaging has an up-to-date version of WhatsApp as well. If not, urge them to update their app accordingly.
If both you and the person you’re messaging have updated versions of WhatsApp but still can’t send a message to each other, try restarting your phone.
If that doesn’t solve the problem, try uninstalling and re-downloading WhatsApp.
If all else fails, reach out to WhatsApp support for further assistance.
