Here’s How You Can Block Or Report A Contact on Whatsapp; Take a Look At The Given Steps

We all have faced situations like receiving messages or calls from unknown numbers on WhatsApp or a few contacts sharing rumors or sending spam messages and let’s admit it nobody likes that. To stop these messages and random calls, WhatsApp has a solution for its users. Users can either block the contact or an unknown number and can also report the contact.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to block or report a contact;

Block A Contact

Through settings

  • Open Whatsapp, tap More Options
  • Go to Settings
  • Tap Privacy>Blocked contacts
  • Tap Add
  • Search for or select the contact to be blocked

Through Chat

  • Open a Chat with the contact, tap More>Block>Block. You can also report the contact by tapping Report contact>Block.
  • Open a Chat with the contact, then tap the name of the contact>Block>Block.

Block an unknown phone number

  • Open the WhatsApp chat with the unknown phone number
  • Tap Block. You can also report the contact by tapping Report contact>Block.

Report A Contact

  • Open the Chat with the contact you want to report
  • Tap More options: More>Report

(You can also block the user and delete messages in the chat)

  • Tap Report

Users need to remember that blocking a contact does not mean it will be removed from your contact list. Also, if you unblock a contact in the future, you won’t receive any messages, calls or status updates the contact sent you during the time they were blocked. While reporting a contact, Whatsapp will receive the last five messages sent to you by the reported user or group along with when the message was sent, user ID, and type of message sent.
