To remove someone from your WhatsApp blacklist, you need to unblock them. This can be done by going to your phone's settings, selecting 'Account,' then 'Privacy,' and finally removing the contact from the 'Blocked' list.
How to return someone from the WhatsApp blacklist - in detail?
To return someone from the WhatsApp block list, follow these detailed steps:
- Understanding the Block List: When you block a contact on WhatsApp, their messages and calls are blocked. The blocked contact will not be able to see your last seen or online status.
-
Unblocking Process: To unblock someone, you need to manually remove them from your block list. Here's how:
- Open WhatsApp on your device.
- Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner of the screen to access the menu.
- Select "Settings".
- Tap on "Account".
- Go to "Privacy".
- Under the "Privacy" section, tap on "Blocked contacts". This will show you a list of all the contacts you have blocked.
- To unblock someone, tap and hold their name until an option appears at the top of the screen.
- Tap on the "Unblock" option. Confirm your choice if prompted.
-
Re-adding Contact: After unblocking, you need to add the contact back to your address book. If you had previously saved their number, it should automatically appear in your contacts list. If not:
- Go to your phone's contacts app.
- Tap on "Add new contact" or a similar option.
- Enter the person's name and phone number. Make sure the country code is correct.
- Save the contact.
- Restoring Communication: Once you have unblocked and re-added the contact, they will be able to send you messages and call you again. Note that any previous messages or calls from when they were blocked will not be restored.
- Privacy Settings: After restoring communication, it's a good idea to review your privacy settings in WhatsApp. You can customize who can see your profile picture, about section, status updates, and more by going to "Settings" > "Account" > "Privacy".
