It is worth noting that no notification will be sent in the process – that is, the ‘Blocked’ person will not receive messages telling them that their contact details are hidden from them. The only way to notice a change is when you want to see your information and can’t. However, even with this gap, it is still not possible to tell if the action is for her or for all the contacts in her list.
