Additional Tips:

  • Backup Messages: If you have important messages from the blocked contact, ensure they are backed up before you unblock them. WhatsApp does not store messages from blocked contacts in your chat history.
  • Re-add Contact: After unblocking a contact, you may need to add their number back to your phone’s contact list if it was removed during the blocking process.

By following these steps, you can easily remove any contact from your WhatsApp blacklist and resume communication with them.
