How to block or unblock someone on WhatsApp
Are you a WhatsApp user and someone is bothering you with messages or calls you don’t want? Did you know you can block anyone on WhatsApp and stop them from sending you messages or calling you? When you block someone on WhatsApp, do they know that you did that? What do they see? What happens when you call someone who blocked you on WhatsApp? These are all questions we’ll answer in this guide. We’ll also show you how to block someone on WhatsApp and how to unblock them, regardless of whether you use an Android smartphone, an iPhone, or WhatsApp Web. Read on:

What happens when you block someone on WhatsApp? Do they know?
There are many people asking about this so let’s clarify things a bit. Here’s what happens when you block someone on WhatsApp:
- The person you block will not be notified that you’ve blocked them
- Any message or call from a WhatsApp blocked contact will not show up on your WhatsApp
- Your online status and any changes you make to your profile after you blocked someone will not be shown to that person
- If the blocked person is in a WhatsApp group with you, he or she will remain a member of that group, and can communicate with you through the group
- Blocking someone on WhatsApp does not remove him or her from your contacts list
- If you, later on, choose to unblock someone on WhatsApp, any messages that he or she sent to you while being blocked will not appear on your chat history

Furthermore, people also ask whether someone you blocked knows you did that. As we mentioned, they are not explicitly notified by WhatsApp about the fact that you’ve blocked them. However, someone you’ve blocked on WhatsApp might be able to get clues about it because:
- He or she can’t see when you were last online
- They don’t see your profile picture anymore, but a generic profile icon
- They don’t see when you change your profile photo
- If they try to send a message to you, they will see the message sent mark (one checkmark only) but never see the delivered message mark (double checkmark)
- Last but not least, if they try to call you on WhatsApp, the call is never established
When you unblock someone on WhatsApp, will they know? They get the opposite of the clues we’ve mentioned earlier. So, although WhatsApp does not directly notify them, if they correctly identify the clues, they know that you’ve blocked them and when you’ve unblocked them.

Fortunately, WhatsApp Web also lets you block or unblock someone without needing to get to your phone. Here’s how:
