How to block a person in WhatsApp so that they know - in detail?
Blocking someone on WhatsApp is a straightforward process, and the blocked individual will be notified of your action. Here’s how you can ensure they are aware:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Navigate to Contacts: Access the contacts list within WhatsApp by tapping on the three dots or lines in the top right corner, then selecting "Contacts."
- Select the Contact: Find and tap on the contact you wish to block. This will open their chat window.
- Block the Contact: In the chat window, tap on the contact's name at the top of the screen. This will take you to the contact info page. Scroll down and tap on "Block." You’ll be prompted to confirm this action. Tap "Block" again to finalize.
- Confirmation Notification: The person you have blocked will receive a notification informing them that they have been blocked. WhatsApp does not specify the content of this notification, but it is designed to make the block apparent to the recipient.

Additional Indicators: After being blocked, the individual may notice other changes:
- Their messages will no longer be delivered and will show only a single checkmark (indicating they have been sent but not delivered).
- They won't see updates to your profile picture, about section, or status.
- Calls from them will not go through.
By following these steps, you ensure that the person is aware of being blocked on WhatsApp. This action is intended to maintain privacy and prevent unwanted communication.
