If you’re a frequent user of WhatsApp, you know that managing contacts and conversations can be quite complicated. You may have noticed that there are some numbers that you don’t want to receive messages from, but there’s no way to block them. If someone is harassing you or sending inappropriate messages, it can be difficult to find a solution. The good news is that there is a way to block a number on WhatsApp even if it’s not in your contacts.
The first step is to open the conversation with the unwanted contact and click on the three dots in the top right corner of the app. This will give you access to different options like delete chat and more info.
Selecting the latter will open up a page with information about the contact such as their phone number, profile picture and status message. Scroll down until you see the ‘Block Contact’ option and select it.
Once you’ve blocked the contact, they won’t be able to send any messages or call you anymore. The blocked number won’t appear in your contacts list either, so you won’t have to worry about seeing their messages or calls when scrolling through your list of conversations.
You can unblock them anytime by going back into their conversation and selecting ‘Unblock Contact.’ This will allow them to send messages and calls again, though it’s important to note that any messages sent while they were blocked won’t show up until they are unblocked.
Conclusion:
It is possible to block a number on WhatsApp even if it isn’t in your contacts list. All you need to do is open up their conversation and select ‘Block Contact’ from the menu options. This will stop them from sending any further messages or calls until they are unblocked at a later time.
