How do I remove someone from the WhatsApp blacklist - in detail?
To remove someone from your WhatsApp block list, you need to follow a series of steps on both your phone and the contact's device. Here is a detailed guide:
-
Unblocking on Your Device:
- Open WhatsApp on your smartphone.
- Tap on the three dots (menu) in the upper right corner to access the settings.
- Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
- Navigate to "Account."
- Go to "Privacy."
- Look for the option labeled "Blocked contacts."
- Find and tap on the contact you wish to unblock.
- Confirm by tapping "Unblock" when prompted.
-
Re-adding the Contact:
- After unblocking, you will need to manually add their phone number back to your contacts list because blocking a contact automatically removes them from your address book.
- Go to your phone's Contacts app.
- Tap on "Add contact" or the equivalent option for adding a new contact.
- Enter the person’s phone number and any other relevant information (name, email, etc.).
- Save the contact.
-
Communication Restoration:
- Once you have unblocked the contact and re-added their number to your contacts list, you should be able to communicate with them on WhatsApp as before.
- Send a message or make a call to verify that the block has been successfully removed.
Important Note: The person you've blocked will not receive any notification about being unblocked. They might notice when they can contact you again, but it depends on whether they were monitoring their communication status with you.
By following these steps, you can effectively remove someone from your WhatsApp block list and restore normal communication.
