How to Block/Unblock WhatsApp Contacts on iPhone

There are a couple of quick ways by which you will be able to block or unblock any WhatsApp contacts on your iPhone.

WhatsApp offers you the essential liberty to customize your privacy to ensure you enjoy communicating with friends or anyone else on your own terms and conditions. Case in point, you have complete freedom to block or unblock WhatsApp contacts on your iPhone.

So, if you ever think that one of your contacts bother you a lot and don't want to receive WhatsApp call or messages from that person anymore, you will be able to block him/her easily. And if you ever decide to remove any contact from the blocked list, you can get it done without any hassle at all.

Blocking a person on WhatsApp is easy, although it's beneath a few layers deep.

How to Block WhatsApp Contacts on iPhone

>Open WhatsApp on your device and tap on Chats tab.



>Now, tap on the Contacts in question. Or simply search the contacts you want to block.



>Tap on the name of the contact.



>Next, scroll down and tap on Block Contact -> Tap on Block to confirm.



 

By blocking a contact, you are effectively blocking the person from sending you any message via WhatsApp.

Note: That even after you've blocked, the person can see your ‘last seen at' timestamp.

This means although you've blocked any messages from the person, they can know when the last time you used WhatsApp was.

Also, any message they send doesn't get the two-ticks that are typical of messages that are sent and delivered.

Now that you know how to block a person, let's also find out how to unblock a contact, just in case:
