We can not prevent someone contact us via Whatsapp, just enough that the other person has our phone number and add us to your contact list. These unwanted contacts can lock, unlock and erase easily, as discussed below.
 
"Block contacts Whatsapp
To block a contact, you just have to open the conversation with the contact block, with the menu button and select More and choose the following options Block, that simple. While in this situation, we can not get in touch with him, nor he with us, since blocking is bidirectional.
 
You know I locked my contact you? Our contact will not know that you have locked, will stop aparecerle in the contact list and think, if we do not you understand anything, we've uninstalled Whatsapp our phone.
 
»Unlock contacts Whatsapp
 
We have already seen how you can block contacts on Whatsapp and avoid that they can communicate with us through the application, and we with them. The only difference is that we will have control over when we want this lockout ends, as we shall see now.
To unblock contacts will be two systems in terms of each of the cases listed:
 
"Our next on the list contact contact our smartphone and therefore in WhatsApp
In this case the system is very simple. As we go to the contact list Whatsapp, let down your finger on the contact, and select Unblock contact. From that moment we will appear in your list of contacts and can again talk to him as much as we want and let us talk.
"Our contact is not in our list of contacts (or was never eliminated)
In this case borrásemos the blocked contact our contact list or were never in it because it was a stranger to us who liaise via Whatsapp, the unlock process is also simple but more complex than in above.
 
For that we open the Settings menu Whatsapp, and the menu screen shown we chose Contacts.
 
Once inside we will see a section called Locked and we show a counter with the number of locks that we made. As access that menu and then we clicked on the contact we want to unlock, apareciéndonos the Unlock option, which will be the you press.
 
 
 
Keep in mind that unblock a contact by this method is unique in that it is a contact that is not on our agenda. Therefore, he can contact us with us but he did not, having no contact available. We also have to consider that contact when not in our list, we will have available the name, just your phone, so it can be difficult to distinguish who are unlocking and who does not.
 
»Delete a contact Whatsapp
 
To delete a contact from Whatsapp depend again on the agenda of our mobile contact as Whatsapp is connected to it. As contact is on the agenda, which will be in contact Whatsapp.
 
To remove them, therefore we remove them from the agenda or at least delete the phone number as it is this fact and no other uses Whatsapp for interconnect.
 
From the main screen Whatsapp, which shows open chats, click on the Menu button and choose the Contacts option, which will lead to the agenda of our terminal. Once on the agenda may delete as many contacts as you want or, as mentioned before, delete only their phone number.
 
Note: we remove a contact from our agenda and therefore Whatsapp not prevent such contact contact us. Furthermore, if we do it will appear only with your phone number so it will be difficult to distinguish. In case you want to prevent a contact to communicate with us permanently, before we remove it from the agenda block, as indicated above.
