How to block a contact in a WhatsApp group on Android - in detail?
To block a contact in a WhatsApp group on Android, you need to follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Start by launching the WhatsApp application on your Android device.
- Select the Group: Navigate to the group chat where the contact you wish to block is a member. Tap on the group to open it.
- Access Group Info: Once inside the group chat, tap on the three vertical dots located at the top-right corner of the screen. This will bring up a menu with several options. From this menu, select "Group info".
- Find the Contact: In the Group info section, you'll see a list of all the members in the group. Scroll through the list to find the contact you want to block.
- Block the Contact: Tap and hold on the contact's name until a menu appears at the bottom of the screen. From this menu, select "More" (or the equivalent option based on your device's language settings). A new menu will pop up with several options; tap on "Block".
- Confirm Blocking: WhatsApp will prompt you to confirm that you want to block the contact. Tap on "Block" to finalize the action.
After completing these steps, the contact will be blocked from the group, and they will no longer be able to send messages or make calls within the group chat. It's important to note that blocking a contact in a group does not remove them from the group; it only prevents them from interacting with you within that specific chat.
If you need to unblock the contact at any point, you can do so by going to your WhatsApp settings, selecting "Account", then "Privacy", and finally "Blocked contacts". From there, you can tap on the contact's name and select "Unblock".
