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.
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 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.
