There are two different methods to block any contact on WhatsApp. Actually both of them are same but the approach is little different. Let's start with first one.

- Under messaging section, click on "Blocked contacts" option.
- Now click [Plus+Person] icon at the top of your screen. (See below picture)
- Finally select the contact name that you wish to block and you've done it.
Note: Before using any of the method, please turn on your mobile data or Wi-Fi. If there would be no Internet connection, it will display an error message as "You need to have network access to block/unblock a user"
To unblock the same person, go back to the "Blocked contacts" list then, click the person name and select Unblock option.
