How to block someone on WhatsAp

Even if someone is not in your contact list, he can still send you messages through WhatsApp. When you first receive a message from an unknown number, WhatsApp automatically detects it and offers to block or add as a contact. If this hint no longer appears, here is another way to block the subscriber.

1. Open WhatsApp and chat with the person you want to block.
2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner → “More” → “Block”.
3. Click "Report and block" (if you suspect a subscriber of spamming) or simply "Block".

Do not report people if they do not send spam, do not spread fake news or do not violate the terms of the WhatsApp service.
