WHATSAPP is the world’s most popular messaging platform, helping more than one billion users keep in contact around the world. WhatsApp users who wish to stop receiving messages, calls and status updates from certain contacts can do so via the block option. Express.co.uk reveals everything you need to know about blocking WhatsApp contacts.

How to block WhatsApp contacts:

Users have several options available to block contacts on WhatsApp.
Start by selecting Settings, Account, Privacy, Blocked and Add New on Whatsapp.
Users should then select the contact they wish to block, then select the contact.
An alternative is to open the chat with the contact, tap the contact’s name, then select Block Contact, Block or Report and Block.
Next, swipe left the chat with the contact in their Chats tab, then tap More, Contact Info, Block Contact, Block or Report and Block.


If you block someone on WhatsApp do they know?

Blocking someone on WhatsApp is pretty straightforward but the blocked person will not be notified of the move.
There are, however, clues. Users will no longer see a contact’s last seen or online status in the chat window.
WhatsApp users will also not see updates to a contact’s profile photo.
Any messages sent to a blocked WhatsApp contact will always show the message sent mark and never show a message delivered mark.
Finally, any calls attempted via WhatsApp will not go through.
WhatsApp said: “We have made this intentionally ambiguous in order to protect your privacy when you block someone.”
