What happens if you block and report a contact on WhatsApp? That is precisely the question we are going to answer today in this article and we are going to show you how you can do this process using your cell phone.
What happens when you block and report a contact on WhatsApp?
Before we even show you how block and report we need to talk about what happens if you do this, after all, will the user notice the block and receive a special message? That's what you'll find out in this first topic.
It is true that since 2012 WhatsApp has become the most used means of communication among Brazilians, along with Facebook Messenger which ended up without as many active users as the green app that is the subject of this article.
As it is the main means of communication in our country, we often have to deal with unpleasant situations. In some cases, even disagreements where the only solution is to block that person forever and not talk to them anymore.
This way, you will no longer receive messages from that person, you will not receive any naughty calls and you will not receive status updates from that person either.
However, in more serious cases, the blocking occurs together with an official report to WhatsApp directly through the application. Where WhatsApp verifies your report and evaluates the last five messages sent, whether they are audio, text, image or video.
This way, the user who has been blocked and reported does not receive any notification. However, WhatsApp keeps the user's ID in its hands to take action if it deems it necessary. Remember that the same process happens with blocked groups.
In the next topic we will talk about how you can block and report a WhatsApp contact or a group if you feel it is necessary, basically the processes are the same.
How to block and report a contact on WhatsApp?
If you are reading this step, you have probably been through an unpleasant situation and want to block and report that particular user, so we are going to give you a quick tutorial and we hope that everything is resolved and that you are well in your home.
1. Open WhatsApp
First you must open WhatsApp normally as you always do, then open the conversation you want to report.
If you have deleted the conversation for some reason, you can still search for the name of the user or group in the top right corner of your screen on the fight-shaped button next to the three dots.
2. Choose the report contact option
When you click on the conversation or select the user, some information about him or her will appear. Go to the bottom of your screen and click on the “report” option. Next to this option there is a thumbs down and both the image and the text are in red.
3. Choose whether to delete the conversation or not
The last step is to read the message that will appear when you click on the “report” option from the previous step and choose whether or not you want to delete the conversation between you and the user. This is your choice, so think about whether you will use it at another time if you prefer, then make your decision.
After that, just confirm by clicking on the “Report” option in the bottom right corner of the message that appeared. That’s it, now this user can’t send you any more messages and you no longer have to deal with a negative situation.
