This message happens when one or both of you cannot establish a stable connection. That means the problem can be with your connectivity, their connectivity, or WhatsApp servers. It’s also possible that the connections are fine, and you have been blocked by the other person.
The best way to know if someone blocked you or deleted their account is to search for them on the app. If you can’t see them, then it’s for one of these two reasons. If you want to know if you were blocked as opposed to them deleting the account, search from another account and compare the results.
In short, you cannot see whether someone is online on WhatsApp if they blocked you. Blocking is an exhaustive feature that aims to cut off all communication between a user and the person they block, and at the same time, it obscures the fact that a block occurred. You can’t see any updates or directly contact them.
