Have I been blocked?

Silly question really but I'm trying OLD at the moment and it's very cut throat so don't want to waste too much time on people who aren't interested.
I have someone I have been chatting to and it seemed to be progressing however still early days.
Anyway, the last message I sent was yesterday and it is still sat as 1 tick in WhatsApp, I can't see when they were last online, but their profile photo is still there.
I always assumed that when you get blocked their profile photo disappears, but then my message isn't being delivered.
I know you can test these things by trying to voice call through WhatsApp, but it's too early to be faffing with that.
I don't like to be chatting to too many people at once as it gets confusing so would be good to know if I have been blocked. I think I've been blocked before as the profile went as did the last online status, but I didn't send a message to check as seemed obvs I was blocked.
And yes, I've tried to Google, but there seems to be a lot of variations and as its 1 tick, no last online status, but a profile photo it doesn't seem to fit.

You're probably blocked. Try to not worry about it.

You're not blocked if the picture is still there. He probably has his WhatsApp notifications turned off.

I learnt this from my annoying 26 year old son 🙄😂

If you’re blocked I don’t think the picture would be there. Could he have lost his phone on a night out and it has now died?

Sometimes after someone has blocked you it takes a day or 2 for their profile picture to disappear.

It might not be that though, it is hard to tell, WhatsApp deliberately make it that way.

Who was one tick for days.

I guess if the notifications are off they only read messages when they choose to and don't get the 2 ticks plus the message popping up.

He had me really worrying about him!

I meant to quote this.

I love social media and apps 🤣😭

Their picture disappears if you're blocked. I thought one tick meant not delivered or person offline.

Thanks. I'll leave for a few days and I presume either the photo will disappear or if it still sits as one tick then maybe he's deliberately just set it to not deliver and I'll move on.
