There are two scenarios that can be possible.
1. They are using gbwhatsapp with hide chat feature.
2. They are using some other number to chat on whatsapp.
If you have the access then do check whether the person is using modded version of whatsapp or not and other thing is that whether that person is using clone app for android and using another whatsapp or not.
What app would one be using such that they can block on the WhatsApp app yet chat and hid the chat for same numbers? Is it another app? Also the part saying blocked is in small font in a black strip? Also how can I find if there is another app to hide the particular chats and how to unhide them? As I know my partner is chatting but when I see that number it is blank.
