Blocking a Number on WhatsApp

Blocking a Number on WhatsApp

WhatsApp is a messenger that allows users to send text messages, photos, videos, audio recordings, and documents. It was developed in 2009 and later acquired by Facebook in 2014. The app is available on various mobile operating systems (iOS, Android, Windows Phone), as well as on PC.

WhatsApp is widely used worldwide due to its ease of use, end-to-end encryption, and convenient interface. The number of active users exceeds one billion people.


The messenger has an option to block a contact. This allows users not to receive messages from the selected user. Have you encountered a problem when your number was blocked on WhatsApp? As practice shows, it is best to register a new account. To do this, you need to use a mobile number that serves as a user identifier. Don't want to use your own contact? The "Tiger SMS" service offers to buy a virtual number for registration on WhatsApp. It is not tied to a SIM card, and SMS reception occurs via the Internet.

How to Block a Number on WhatsApp

The developer has made sure that every user has this functionality. You need to follow these steps:

  1. Open a chat with the contact you are interested in.

  2. Tap on their name until a menu with options pops up.

  3. Select "Block" and add the contact to the blacklist.


Among the additional options, there is an option to complain to the administration. It should be selected in cases where the rules of using the service are violated.

You may often hear the question of whether a user in the blacklist can see the block on WhatsApp. No - they do not receive any notifications about it. When sending a message, it will not be delivered (only one tick will always be displayed), and in the case of a call, there will be no answer. There are no direct ways to find out if you are in the blacklist. It is recommended to call or write from another number. If the person answers, then you are blocked by them.
