We have all come to have a contact from we don't see your profile picture on WhatsApp. It is very rare that any of our contacts have the profile picture, so for those who do not, why does it happen?
Well there are several answers for it and we are going to solve the different reasons for it. We made it very clear at first that the photo is something personal of a person, so it is always in the power of that same person give permission for certain contacts not to see it. But there are other reasons that we are going to discover.
The reasons why you do not see the profile picture on WhatsApp
As we have said, a photo of a contact is something private. Actually if we see the photo it is because he has granted those permissions from WhatsApp; although you have to remember that by default it is configured like this. But it is true that WhatsApp gives us the possibility to configure those permissions so that no one can even see them if we feel like it.
If you are not able to see the profile photo of a contact on WhatsApp, it may be for these four reasons:
- The first (and most obvious): Profile photo has been removed.
- Away: Profile photo privacy settings have been set to My Contacts/Nobody, so if they don't have you in their contacts you won't be able to see it.
- Third: your number has been removed from their contacts.
- Quarter: If before you could see his profile photo and now you can't, the most likely thing is that he has blocked your contact.
First of all we have to be positive and think well. It would not be your colleague or a contact who does not put his photo because he does not want to show anything; even that photo related to a hobby, a meme or whatever. If you contact him and you usually chat, it is for this reason.
The second reason has to do with the contact has set the privacy of their profile picture to contacts or nobody. As long as he does not have it at all, if he does not have you in his phone book, you will be left with the desire to see his image. It usually happens, so it is not unusual.
The third is that does not have your phone number or has deleted it. As we have said in the previous one, they no longer have you in their phone book and they have configured that only those who do have it can see the photo.
Finally we have the fourth option and perhaps it is not the one you want to know. Yes, has blocked you and therefore you will not see his photo.
But there is also another option that may be possible, and that is that this contact simply you have deactivated your WhatsApp account, in this way you will not be able to send or receive messages.
What steps can we take to find out if you have blocked us?
There are several ways to know what this is the reason why we do not see the profile photo in WhatsApp. If all these options that we are going to list below are affirmative, that contact has blocked you:
- You can't see the last online time for this contact.
- You can't see the profile photo.
- When you send messages to this person you only see one tick (message sent), but you will never see the double tick of delivered.
- It does not appear in your contact list or common groups.
If we better understand what happens when we block someone, maybe we can find out what's really going on when we don't see the profile picture.
What happens if we block a contact on WhatsApp?
- He or she will not be able to see our profile
- You will not be able to see our "last seen"
- You will not be able to call us through WhatsApp
- You will not be able to make a video call through WhatsApp
- You will not be able to see our "about"
- You will not see our WhatsApp status
- You will not be able to see the containers read
So now you can better understand why you don't see the profile picture of your contact. It is clear that if you chat the reason is because you do not want to show the photo or you have simply restricted the privacy of your photos.
Hopefully you be very clear why you do not see the profile picture of WhatsApp of your contact. Nor does anything happen to ask the reason to it and thus we leave the mystery.
