It could signify a misconfiguration in the blocking system. The system may have been set up to block certain actions related to the source of the story, like messaging the author or contributing to it, but not the actual viewing of the story. Another possibility is that the story has a different level of access control compared to the actions that led to your being blocked. So, while some interactions are restricted, the viewing remains available.
It might mean that the block is not comprehensive. Just because you're blocked doesn't necessarily mean all access to related content is cut off. The story could be an exception.
It could imply that the blocking rules are not straightforward. There might be different tiers of blocking, and seeing the story falls within an allowed area even though you are blocked in general. For instance, the block could be mainly for communication aspects, but not for content consumption like viewing the story.
Maybe it's a partial block. For example, some functions related to interaction might be blocked, but the viewing of the story is still allowed. It could also be a glitch in the system where the block didn't fully take effect on the story - viewing part.
Sure! As long as there are no specific barriers or restrictions preventing it, you can view the story. Maybe check if there are any other factors like subscription requirements or geographical limitations.
It could mean that you're blocked, but it might also indicate other issues like technical glitches or the story being removed for some reason.
That's strange. Maybe there's a glitch in the system or a setting that wasn't properly configured.
Maybe the blocking process didn't fully complete or there was a delay in it taking effect. Also, it's possible that WhatsApp's privacy settings are behaving strangely for some reason.
It could be a glitch in the app. Sometimes, the blocking feature doesn't work perfectly right away.
No, they can't. When you block someone, they typically lose access to your posts and stories.
Maybe there's a technical glitch. Sometimes servers go down or there could be a problem with your device or internet connection.
Try logging out and logging back in. This can sometimes refresh the settings and make the block work properly.
It might be a privacy setting on the person's side. They could have set their story to be visible only to a specific group of people, like close friends or a custom list, and you're not included in that. Check if they have such restrictions.
