If you’ve ever been unsure whether someone has blocked you on WhatsApp, a new *trick using its integrated Meta AI assistant is trending online. Users claim this AI can help reveal whether a contact has blocked you — but it’s important to understand what it actually does and what it doesn’t.

🔍 🧠 What the “Meta AI Block Check” Trick Is

method people are sharing:

Open the chat of the person you suspect has blocked you.

In the message field, type @Meta AI and then type “Hi” (or another prompt).

Send it.

👉 If Meta AI replies, it likely means:
✔️ You are not blocked, and the AI can respond in that chat.
👉 If there’s no reply from Meta AI, users interpret this as:
❌ You might be blocked, because the AI cannot send a reply in a chat where messages from you don’t go through.

This approach works because Meta AI generates a response inside the chat only if the recipient’s account can receive it — similar to how a regular message does.

🤔 Why This Trick Can Be Helpful

The normal signs of being blocked (like:

• only one tick for your messages
• no profile photo visible
• no “last seen” or “online” status

) can all happen for reasons other than blocking — such as:

• the person’s phone being offline
• network issues
• privacy settings hiding last seen/profile photo

That’s what makes many users confused.

The Meta AI trick aims to give a clearer indicator because the AI’s reply should come regardless of whether the contact is online — as long as messages from you can be received by WhatsApp.

⚠️ Limitations & Important Notes

📌 1. It *Isn’t an Official whatsapp Feature

WhatsApp itself does not offer a built‑in “blocked status indicator” beyond the normal ticks and presence indicators. This Meta AI trick is a clever use of the assistant, not an official feature.

📌 2. The AI Reply Happens In‑App

The Meta AI reply isn’t coming from the person you’re messaging — it’s generated by the AI assistant inside WhatsApp. So this method doesn’t actually alert the other user that you’re checking anything.

📌 3. You Still Send a Message

When you type @Meta AI and send “Hi”, you are sending a message to that chat. If the contact later opens whatsapp, they may see your sent message (even if the AI replied).

So it’s not a secret block check — it’s just a practical way to test whether your messages are being received at all.

🧠 Summary: What This Trick Actually Tells You

Scenario

Likely Meaning

🟢 Meta AI replies

You are not blocked — and the chat can still receive messages.

❌ No Meta AI reply

You might be blocked — or messages aren’t going through for other reasons (internet issues, account deactivated, etc.).

The Meta AI approach doesn’t definitively prove you’re blocked in every case — but it adds another data point beyond the usual ticks and online status.

📌 Final Takeaway

This whatsapp Meta AI trick offers a clever workaround to help you gauge whether you’ve been blocked, especially when standard indicators (one tick, no last seen) are ambiguous. But you should treat it as a helpful test, not a guaranteed blocker detector — since messaging behavior and network conditions can also affect replies.
