How to add to spam in WhatsApp - in detail?
To add a contact or number to the spam list on WhatsApp, you can follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Start by launching the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Navigate to the Chat: Go to the chat with the contact or number you wish to mark as spam.
- Open Contact Info: Tap on the contact's name at the top of the chat window to open their information page. If it’s a number that isn’t saved in your contacts, tap on the three dots (⋮) at the top right corner and select "View Contact."
- Block the Contact: Scroll down and find the option labeled "Block." Tap on this option to block the contact. Blocking a number or contact effectively adds them to your spam list, as WhatsApp treats blocked contacts similarly by preventing their messages from appearing in your chat list.
- Confirm Blocking: You will be prompted with a confirmation message asking if you are sure you want to block this contact. Confirm the action by tapping "Block."
- Report as Spam (Optional): In addition to blocking, you can also report the contact as spam. To do this, go back to the chat, tap on the three dots (⋮) at the top right corner of the screen, and select "Report" or "Report Spam." This will not only block the contact but also notify WhatsApp that you consider this user’s messages spam.
By following these steps, you ensure that unwanted contacts are added to your spam list, preventing their future messages from disturbing your communication on WhatsApp.
