A step-by-step guide on how to block someone on WhatsApp:
- Open WhatsApp: Unlock your smartphone and locate the WhatsApp application. Tap on the icon to launch the app.
- Navigate to Chats: Once the app is open, you’ll be on the main chat screen that shows your ongoing conversations. If you’re not already there, tap on the “Chats” tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Select the Contact: Scroll through your list of chats and find the conversation of the person you want to block. Tap on their name or profile picture to open the chat.
- Access Contact Info: Inside the chat, you’ll see the person’s profile picture and name at the top of the screen. Tap on their name or picture to access their contact information.
- Block Contact: On the contact info screen, you’ll see various options like call, video call, etc. Look for and tap on the option that says “Block”. It might also be labeled as “Block Contact” or something similar.
- Confirm Blocking: A confirmation prompt will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to block this contact. It will inform you that blocking will prevent them from sending you messages, calls, and viewing your status updates. Confirm that you want to block the contact.
- Block Successfully: Once you confirm, the contact will be blocked. You won’t receive messages or calls from them, and their messages will not be delivered to you.
That’s it! The person you’ve blocked will no longer be able to contact you through WhatsApp. Remember that you can always unblock them later if you change your mind using a similar process. Please note that the exact steps might vary slightly based on the version of WhatsApp you’re using, but generally, the process remains quite similar.
