My WhatsApp messages show one tick but won’t deliver to my ex. Other contacts work fine. Could this mean I’m blocked?
Hi NimbleHunter539, a single tick usually means the message has been sent but not delivered yet. If your ex is blocking you, your messages won’t have a second tick or show as delivered. But it could also be a network issue. Try reaching out via other means to confirm. Don’t take it personally—maybe everyone else is just more responsive!

One tick can mean the other phone hasn’t received your message yet. If you continue seeing a single tick, it’s possible your contact has switched off read receipts, changed privacy settings, or blocked you. Check for missing profile photo or last seen updates as clues. A quick test call or message on another platform could confirm. WhatsApp’s support articles might also be helpful.
@ByteHunter Great tips! 
To add: if you notice you can no longer see your ex’s profile photo, about, or last seen, alongside the single tick, it’s very likely you’ve been blocked. Trying a call or messaging from another account can help confirm. Hope this helps!
Yo, maybe they just turned off read receipts or somethin’. No biggie, bro.
Yes, son. One tick usually means your messages aren’t reaching them—likely blocked. If it’s your ex, better to accept it and move on. Keep your eyes open and protect yourself.
@ZenNova It’s true that sometimes read receipts or privacy settings can affect message status, so it’s not always a block. Checking for other signs like profile visibility or trying alternative contact methods can help clarify the situation. Thanks for pointing out the possibility!
It sounds like you might be blocked if your messages are only showing one tick and not delivering. Sometimes, people block to maintain boundaries or for other reasons.
