Whatsapp.. relationship in jeopardy

[jeep36]

Hi there
Needing some quick advice before I destroy my relationship.

On whatsapp, the newish feature allows you to upload status's with photos. It also allows you to control who sees them in the privacy section.

My question is, if I excluded my bf from seeing my photo status updates, is he still able to view mine?

I cannot find anything on the internet to say so, but it seems it is the case. As it's a new feature there's little info regarding that.

Thank you

I wouldn't think he will be able to see them as that would defeat the purpose of giving you the option to exclude people

If you excluded your bf from seeing your photo status updates, can he still see them - is that the questio? (I would say no as he's excluded from seeing them).

Thank you for your reply. That's what I'm thinking. But then the function only states that it prevents them from seeing your status photo but doesn't mention you will then not be able to see theirs .. I'm confused

No overon.. will I in turn not be able to see his?

Are you wanting to be able to see his? Excluding, stop anyone not on that list from seeing it.

if you block him from seeing yours, im pretty sure you will still be able to view his. thats if its anything like snapchat

I don't really understand what you're asking.

Are you saying you want to exclude him from being able to view your status picture, and want to know whether that means you'll be excluded from viewing his too?

Also, nosey question - why do you want to exclude him?

No. Basically we generally update statuses and we can see who has viewed each other. He is glued to whatsapp and has always opened my statuses. We've been speaking on whatsapp tonight and he's not viewed it. I thought it was strange so got my friend to test it between us

It seemed that if she blocked
Me and put a status photo up, I couldn't see it. But when she unblocked me and put photo up I could see.

I'm sure I'm right but I wanted to know for a fact before talking to him.

This seems petty to most, but it is very relevant. I promise I'm a grown up!!

I'm so confused, so you think he's blocked you or your offended that he didn't open your status?

Isn't that what it's meant to do? Blocked - you can't see. Unblocked - you can see.
Or are you thinking about historic status updates - thinking that you shouldn't be able to see any that were posted while you were blocked?

I basically want to know if he is uploading photo status and blocking only me from seeing it. Because he hasn't seen my status.. so wondering if that affects it.

I

How does any of this put your relationship in jeopardy?

So you want to know if he's blocked you basically?

If he's excluded you that doesn't stop him opening yours.
Why would he open a status if he's chatting to you anyway

Do you not have a mutual friend you could ask ie. has bf got a status pic up? Why would your boyfriend be making secret status pictures? This is very strange.

Because recently we've had a fall out over an ex. I do not want to accuse him of anything until I'm totally sure that this fiction does what I think.

I appreciate it sounds far fetch and dramatic. However I'm leaving a lot of info out, so as not to out myself.

I just need to know the answer to above question.

Seriously. Are you sure you're an adult?

Dizzy, with all due respect. Maybe you wouldn't open a status if you were chatting to someone. But we do. Hence strange.

The reason I am concerned is due to an ex contacting him yesterday. There's back story that I don't want to go into.

Little bear. Please don't be patronising. I don't want relationship advice. I need an answer to a technical problem. If I could get the answer on a whatsapp forum I would - but I've tried with no luck.

As I've explained several times, I do not want to go into the reason that this is an issue

So he hasn't seen your status which makes you think that it's because he's blocked you? I don't think it works like that. He should still be able to see your updates if he wants to.
But wouldn't it be a bit noticeable if he had blocked you? You'd go from seeing his updates to not seeing them?

Thanks for your replies but I can't explain anymore than I've tried.

It's not obvious if someone blocks you. As one would assume the other has simply not updated a photo status.
But thank you

Just ask him why he didn't then? He could of disabled read receipts and did view it. He could of just not read it.

No dizzy as we were communicating via whatsapp and the read receipts were on.

I can't ask him. Too much has gone on recently. I want to know facts beforehand so I'm not fobbed off with an excuse or doubt.

Is anyone able to test this for me pls?

I know it's late. Just maybe if you are sitting next to your partner
