- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Access Contacts List: Navigate to the "Contacts" tab at the bottom of the screen. This will display all the contacts saved on your phone that are using WhatsApp.

Additionally, you won’t be able to make calls or send messages to this contact until you unblock them.
