Unwanted messages on WhatsApp no more
Not long ago, the company Meta, responsible for the application, developed ways for users to block spam that reaches their mobile devices. Even many unwanted SMS are accompanied by psychological harassment.
Check below how to block spam from your WhatsApp:
- on iPhone
When you have your cell phone in hand, go to the conversations inbox and choose a session initiated by the unknown researcher or telemarketer. Press on the person's name or number and scroll down until you find the option “Report and block”.
- on android
For those who have the Android system, just open the chat, choose the contact and select the “More” option. Afterwards, look for the indication “Block’”. Another way is by choosing the “Report contact” alternative.
- on KaiOS
It's quite simple. Open a conversation with the contact and select “More”. Soon after, the option to “Block” will appear. In the same way as on Android, there is the option to choose the contact and select “Report contact”.
- on the web
After opening the conversations inbox, choose the chat session that was started by the researcher. Afterwards, tap on the name of the contact and select the “Report and block” option.
When any of these steps are performed, the number you want to block will no longer be able to see your latest statuses and any changes made to your profile picture.
In addition, the WhatsApp center will receive the last five messages from that contact sent to the victim. In addition, he will receive the ID of the reported number reporting when the message was sent and what was in it. All this information will be used to track the person in question.
