How to block a group admin in WhatsApp - in detail?

Blocking a group admin on WhatsApp can be a necessary step if you want to prevent unwanted messages or notifications from a specific user who has administrative privileges within the group. Here’s a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Identify the Admin: First, make sure you know who the admin is that you wish to block. Admins can be identified by the badge next to their name in the group chat.

  2. Leave the Group: Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not allow you to directly block an admin within a group without leaving the group first. To leave the group:

    • Open WhatsApp and navigate to the group where the admin resides.
    • Tap on the group name at the top of the chat screen.
    • Scroll down and tap on "Exit Group". Confirm your decision when prompted.

  3. Block the Admin: Now that you have left the group, you can block the admin:

    • Go to your WhatsApp contacts list.
    • Find the contact of the admin you want to block.
    • Open their chat window.
    • Tap on the three dots (menu icon) at the top right corner of the screen.
    • Select "Block". Confirm that you want to block this user when prompted.

  4. Rejoin the Group: If you wish to remain in the group, you will need to be re-added by another admin or a member with sufficient privileges:

    • Notify an admin or trusted member within the group that you have left and ask them to re-add you.
    • Once re-added, you can continue using WhatsApp without receiving messages from the blocked admin.
  5. Considerations: Blocking a user means they will no longer be able to contact you directly or add you to groups. However, if the blocked admin is the only one who can re-add you to the group, you may need to coordinate with another member or admin to facilitate your return.

By following these steps, you can effectively block a group admin on WhatsApp and maintain control over your messaging experience.
