Now that you're using WhatsApp, you definitely want to know how to delete a contact you no longer want to talk to. Don't worry: blocking someone doesn't make you antisocial, it just means avoiding a person you don't want to communicate with.
There are two methods to delete a contact on WhatsApp. The first consists in deleting his phone number from the phone book of his mobile phone, the second in blocking it directly on the application.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Delete the Contact Number
Step 1. Open the address book and search for the person you want to delete, then proceed to delete their contact
Step 2. Open WhatsApp and contact page
Step 3. Select the "Update" option
The contact will no longer be available in the list.
- It is good to remember that this method has a significant disadvantage, that is, you will no longer have the number of this person, which could be a problem.
- If you want to keep his number, but still delete the contact from WhatsApp, try the second method.
Method 2 of 2: Block the Number
Step 1. Open WhatsApp and contact list
Step 2. Select the contact you want to delete
Step 3. In the drop-down menu that appears on the screen, choose the item "Other"
- You will see several options, including "Block". WhatsApp will ask you to confirm your choice.
- Once the contact is blocked, this person will not be able to see your profile photo, send you messages or know when was the last time you connected to WhatsApp.
- The advantage of this method is that it allows you to block the contact on WhatsApp without having to delete the phone number from the mobile phone book.
