Unblocking someone on WhatsApp is a simple process but it can be intimidating if you don’t know how to do it. You may have blocked someone for a reason and now you want to unblock them without them knowing. Fortunately, there are some easy ways to do this without alerting the person you blocked.
Step 1: Open the WhatsApp app on your phone and go to the Menu (three horizontal lines in the top right corner). Select Settings and then Account.
Step 2: Select Privacy Settings and then Blocked Contacts. You will see a list of all the people you have blocked. To unblock someone, select their name and then Unblock Contact.
Step 3: Once you have unblocked them, they will not be notified that they were ever blocked. However, if they had sent you messages while they were blocked, those messages will now appear in your chat history as if nothing happened.
Step 4: To make sure that no one finds out that you had previously blocked them, delete any messages that were sent while they were blocked. To do this, open the chat with them, select the messages you want to delete, tap More (three dots in the top right corner) and then Delete Messages.
Conclusion:
Unblocking someone on WhatsApp is a straightforward process but it may be intimidating if you don’t know how to do it.
All you need to do is open WhatsApp, go to Settings > Account > Privacy Settings > Blocked Contacts and Unblock Contact. Then delete any messages they sent while they were blocked by going into the chat with them, selecting the messages and tapping More > Delete Messages.
