Your privacy is essential when you’re messaging online, and if there’s a person you’d rather avoid, you should know how to do so. This article will discuss three ways to block someone on WhatsApp to preserve your online privacy, especially if you don’t want someone to know you’re online.
3 Ways To Block Someone On WhatsApp
The three main methods to block a contact’s phone on WhatsApp are through your WhatsApp chat, from the WhatsApp Settings, and through a message. In this section, I’m going to go through each method, step-by-step.
From Chat
You can easily block a WhatsApp contact without going anywhere except your WhatsApp chats tab. Just follow these steps: You can also check out this YouTube video on how to do this: With this method, you can block WhatsApp contacts simply by going to the chats tab. It’s one of the simplest ways to stop someone on WhatsApp from contacting you ever again. However, it does have its limitations because it can take a long time if you want to block multiple people, as you have to painstakingly click each profile just to block them. Another downside is that you can’t see all the blocked contacts you have on your device. Luckily, the following process will address that problem and more.
From Settings
You can also block someone on WhatsApp from the Settings menu. With this method, you don’t have to go to each chat just to block certain contacts. This means you can easily block multiple WhatsApp contacts simultaneously. Additionally, you can also use this to block contacts that may not even have an account yet. If you want to prevent certain contacts on your phone from reaching you on WhatsApp in the future, even if they don’t have one yet right now, this is the way to go: This method is very convenient because it allows you to block multiple people very quickly. Plus, you don’t even need to receive their messages on WhatsApp before blocking them – you simply need to have them in your contacts list to proceed. You can also unblock contacts easily with this method. However, what if you don’t even have the number saved on your contacts list? The next step will answer that.
From A Message
It’s actually easy to block someone on WhatsApp even if you haven’t saved their number in your contacts list. This section will discuss how to block someone on WhatsApp without them knowing just from the messages they send to you on the app. This method lets you block another user on WhatsApp even if they’re not part of the contacts list on your phone. Here’s a YouTube video to see it in action.

I explained how to block someone on WhatsApp without them knowing using three methods: through the chat, through Settings, or through the unknown message. Now you can more easily manage whichever blocked person you have on your list and protect your privacy from unwanted WhatsApp users.
