How to block someone on whatsapp

WhatsApp has become one of the most used applications worldwide. Millions of users enjoy the instant messaging application. It is simple to use and allows us to be in contact at all times with friends and family. For this reason it has become a basic thing in the daily life of many people.

How to block someone on WhatsApp

One of the main problems that the application faces is that it is enough for a person to have your phone number to be able to contact you on WhatsApp. In this way, it may be the case that people you don't want to talk to write to you. Or that you receive spam messages or the too common scams. Something that no user wants.

Luckily, in WhatsApp we have the option to block someone. Thanks to this option we will be able to avoid that the person in question cannot contact us at any time. Thus, we avoid those unwanted messages, whether they are spam, scams or simply a person who is most annoying to us. There are several ways to quickly block users in the application. We tell you how below.

First way to block users

It is possibly the simplest form and that most users have used on occasion. Enter WhatsApp and look for any conversation you have had with the person you want to block. Once this conversation is located, enter it. So, at the top right you have to click on the menu button (the three vertical points).

You will see how you get a list with a series of options, the last one called "more". We click on it and we get several additional options. The first of these options is to block. Just click on block and this contact will be directly blocked. Thus, they will no longer be able to contact you through WhatsApp. You can also click on the contact name in the conversation and it takes you to another tab. At the end of it you get the option to block.

Another way to carry out the same process is that instead of searching for the conversation, we directly search for the contact that we want to block. It is also a very simple and fast way. This time, once WhatsApp is open we have to go to our contact list. There, we look for the person we want to block from all the contacts we have and click on their name. As if we were going to start a conversation. Once inside, we click on the menu button again and proceed to block the person.

Second way to block users

The second way to block users is ideal if you want to block more than one contact at the same time. In this way you can carry out the same process and block several people. It is a very simple process, that in a couple of minutes you have completely finished.

We open WhatsApp and click on the menu in the upper right (the three vertical points). Once there we go to the settings of the application. Within the settings we find one of the sections called account. We click on account and once there we select privacy. One of the options within privacy is that of blocked users / contacts. This option allows us to see which users we currently have blocked, but it also allows us to remove or add contacts.

When you are in blocked contacts, an icon of a person with the + symbol appears at the top right. Click on that icon and we can thus block more contacts directly. A very fast way to block multiple contacts on WhatsApp.

As you can see, blocking contacts on WhatsApp is very simple. In this way, thanks to these actions we can get rid of annoying or dangerous messages for our safety or forget about some annoying people that you do not want to be contacted. We hope that these two ways of blocking a contact are useful for you.
