How to send someone to the blacklist on WhatsApp - in detail?
To add a contact to your block list on WhatsApp, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
- Navigate to the Chat: Go to the chat with the person you want to block. You can do this by tapping on their name in your contacts list or finding them in your recent chats.
-
Access Contact Info:
- On iOS: Tap on the contact’s name at the top of the chat screen.
- On Android: Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the upper right corner and select "View contact".
-
Block the Contact:
- On iOS: Scroll down and tap on “Block [Contact Name]”.
- On Android: Scroll to the bottom of the contact info screen and tap on “Block”.
- Confirm Blocking: A confirmation message will appear asking if you are sure you want to block the contact. Tap on "Block" again to confirm your decision.
- Verify Blocked Contact: To ensure that the contact has been blocked, go back to your chats and try sending a message to them. You should see a message indicating that you cannot send messages to this contact because they are blocked. Additionally, their chat will no longer appear in your list of recent chats.
Note: Blocking someone on WhatsApp does not remove them from your contacts list on your phone. To completely remove them from your contacts, you would need to delete their entry from your phone's contact list separately.
By following these steps, you can effectively add a contact to your block list on WhatsApp and prevent any further communication with them through the app.
