How to remove someone from your WhatsApp contacts - in detail?

To remove someone from your WhatsApp contacts, you need to follow a series of steps that involve both deleting the contact from your phone's address book and blocking or removing the user from your WhatsApp chat list. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

1. Deleting the Contact from Your Phone's Address Book:

   • Open your phone's contacts app.
   • Locate the contact you wish to remove.
   • Tap on their name to open their contact details.
   • Click on the "Edit" or "Pencil" icon at the top of the screen.
   • Scroll down and click on "Delete Contact." Confirm your action when prompted.

2. Blocking the Contact on WhatsApp:

   • Open the WhatsApp application on your phone.
   • Go to the chat with the contact you want to remove.
   • Tap on the contact's name at the top of the screen to open their profile.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Block Contact." Confirm your action when prompted.

3. Removing the Chat from Your WhatsApp List:

   • After blocking the contact, go back to the main chat list in WhatsApp.
   • Long press on the chat with the blocked contact until a menu appears at the top of the screen.
   • Tap on the "Delete" or "Trash Can" icon to remove the chat from your list. Confirm your action when prompted.

Important Note: Blocking a contact on WhatsApp will prevent them from seeing your online status, reading receipts, and any changes made to your profile photo. However, they will still be able to see your group presence if you are part of the same group.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove someone from your WhatsApp contacts and ensure that their messages no longer clutter your chat list.
