How to delete an unnecessary subscriber from WhatsApp - in detail?

Deleting an unwanted subscriber from WhatsApp can be a straightforward process, but it's important to follow the correct steps to ensure that you are effectively removing the contact and not just blocking them. Here is a detailed guide on how to delete an unnecessary subscriber from WhatsApp:

1. Open WhatsApp: Start by launching the WhatsApp application on your device. This can be done by tapping on the WhatsApp icon from your home screen or app drawer.
2. Access Contacts: Once you are in the main chat window, look for the three vertical dots (⋮) or the gear icon, which is usually located at the top right corner of the screen. Tap on this to open the menu. From here, select "Contacts" to view your list of contacts.
3. Locate Unwanted Contact: Scroll through your contact list to find the unwanted subscriber you wish to delete. You can use the search function at the top of the screen by typing in their name or phone number if you have a long list of contacts.

4. Delete Contact from Phone: Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not allow direct deletion of contacts within its own interface. Therefore, you will need to delete the contact from your device's address book. To do this:

   • On an Android device: Tap and hold on the unwanted contact until a menu appears. Select "Delete" from the options provided. Confirm the deletion when prompted.
   • On an iOS device: Swipe left on the unwanted contact and tap the "Delete" button that appears. Confirm the deletion by tapping "Delete Contact".
5. Confirm Deletion in WhatsApp: After removing the contact from your phone's address book, return to WhatsApp and check if the unwanted subscriber has been deleted from your contacts list. This process may take a few moments as WhatsApp syncs with your device's contact list.

6. Block Contact (Optional): If you want to ensure that the unwanted subscriber cannot contact you in the future, you can block them within WhatsApp. To do this:

   • Go to the chat window of the unwanted subscriber.
   • Tap on their name at the top of the screen to open the contact info.
   • Scroll down and tap "Block". Confirm your decision by tapping "Block" again when prompted.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove an unnecessary subscriber from WhatsApp. If you encounter any issues during this process, consider checking for updates to both your device's operating system and the WhatsApp application itself.
