How to Block & Unblock someone on WhatsApp?

Blocking someone on WhatsApp means you will no longer receive messages and calls from them. Someone you've blocked can't see your "last seen" timestamp or status and profile picture updates. There's no direct way for someone to know you've blocked them; WhatsApp doesn't notify them.

When you block someone on WhatsApp, you will stop receiving messages and calls from them. Even if they continue to send messages, they'll never show up on your phone.

Likewise, your information status updates, profile picture changes, and "last seen" timestamps will no longer be visible to the person you blocked.

Blocking someone on WhatsApp may cease direct contact from that user, but it doesn't remove them from your contacts. To do that, you will have to remove their contact from your phone manually. You can also unblock someone you've blocked at any time so if you need a break from someone for a little bit, you'll still be able to talk to them again when you're feeling up to it.
