If you've blocked a contact from your chat list, messages from that person will no longer be delivered to you. In addition, these contacts can no longer see your status messages, your online status and profile picture changes. They can no longer contact you via WhatsApp's call function either. Of course, the same restrictions apply to you if you block someone. This means that you cannot write to or call the blocked contact via WhatsApp either.
