WhatsApp Tips: It often happens that you send a message to someone on WhatsApp and only one tick is visible.

It often happens that you send a message to someone on WhatsApp and only see a single tick. It's hard to tell if the other person has blocked you or if their internet is down. The problem is even more serious when they don't have a profile photo. In such a situation, it's difficult to guess the real reason.

Previously, there wasn't a surefire way to tell if you'd been blocked. But now, thanks to the app's Meta AI feature, this confusion can be largely resolved.

In fact, when someone is blocked, only a tick appears on the message sent to them. The same situation also occurs when the other person's phone is switched off or their internet connection is down. This similarity is what causes the confusion.

If you want to know if someone has blocked you, open their chat window. Tag the AI by typing @Meta AI, and then send a simple Hi. This message will be addressed directly to the AI, not the person.

If you've been blocked, this message will behave like a normal message, and you won't receive a reply. This means there won't be any response from the AI either. In this case, it could be a sign that you've been blocked.

But if you haven't been blocked, you'll receive an immediate response from Meta AI as soon as you send a "Hi," even if the other person's internet is down. This clearly indicates that the problem is with the network, not the block.

Although this method hasn't been officially announced, many users are using it as a handy trick. Remember, in the digital world, it's best to consider important factors like profile updates, last seen, and call status before jumping to conclusions.
