How to block someone in WhatsApp so that it is not visible - briefly?

To block someone on WhatsApp without them knowing, you can use the "Block" feature. This will prevent the person from seeing your online status and any changes to your profile picture, but they will still be able to see your messages in group chats if you are both part of the same group.

How to block someone in WhatsApp so that it is not visible - in detail?

Blocking someone on WhatsApp can help protect your privacy and prevent unwanted interactions. However, if you want the blocked contact to be invisible or hidden from view entirely, there are a few steps you should follow.

Firstly, it's important to understand that while blocking a contact on WhatsApp will prevent them from seeing your status updates, profile picture, and any messages they send won’t be delivered, they will still appear in your contacts list if they were previously saved. To make the blocked contact completely invisible, you need to ensure their number is not stored in your phone's address book.

Here are the detailed steps to block someone on WhatsApp so that it is not visible:

Unsave the Contact:
- Open your phone’s contacts app and locate the contact you want to block.
- Tap on their name to open their contact details.
- Remove or delete their number from your contacts list. This step ensures that they won't appear in your WhatsApp contacts even after blocking them.
Block the Contact via WhatsApp:
- Open the WhatsApp application on your phone.
- Go to the chat with the person you want to block. If you don’t have a recent chat, you can search for their name or number in the app.
- Tap on the three dots (more options) icon at the top right corner of the chat screen.
- Select "More" and then choose "Block." Confirm your decision when prompted.
Verify Blocking:
- After blocking, go back to your contacts list in WhatsApp. You should no longer see the blocked contact listed there.
- Additionally, you can check the settings of WhatsApp to ensure they are blocked. Go to "Settings" > "Account" > "Privacy" > "Blocked Contacts." The blocked contact should appear on this list.

By following these steps, you ensure that the blocked contact is not only unable to interact with you but also completely invisible from your WhatsApp contacts and conversations. This approach provides a higher level of privacy and control over who can see and communicate with you through the platform.
