  • Open WhatsApp and go to your Chats screen.
  • Tap the Menu Button > Settings > Contacts > Blocked Contacts.
  • This page displays all contacts that you have blocked.
  • Tap the Add blocked contacts icon in the top right.

If you would like to unblock someone, simply long-press the contact in the Blocked Contacts screen and select [Unblock].
To block an unknown contact, simply open the chat conversation, scroll to the top, then tap [Block].

Here’s how to block a contact, depending on your phones operating system.

Perhaps the person you want to block is one of your contacts – but you no longer want to communicate with them via the app.

1. Apple:

Open the WhatsApp app on your phone
If you have a chat open, navigate back to the main Chats screen
Select the Settings icon at the bottom right of the screen, then Account, then Privacy, then Blocked
Tap Add New and choose the contact you wish to block

2. Android:

Open the WhatsApp app on your phone
Tap the menu icon ⁝
Go to Settings, then Account, then Privacy, then select Blocked Contacts
Tap the add contact icon – a small icon the shape of a person with a plus sign on the left
A list will appear. Choose the contact you wish to block

3. Windows Phone:

Open the WhatsApp app on your phone
Select More (the three dot icon), then Settings, then Contacts, then Blocked contacts
Select the plus icon at the bottom of the screen
Select the contact you wish to block
