It's hard to find someone who doesn't have that list of blocked on WhatsApp, right? Be it a salesperson, a company or just that person we don't want to contact anymore. Thanks to the privacy of the app we're able to choose who we're going to talk to or who's going to see our status. But do you know how to delete blocked numbers?

When you block a contact on WhatsApp, he can no longer send you messages or make calls via application. However, the person's saved number still appears in your phonebook. In order for this not to happen, you need to permanently delete the contact from your cell. The procedure can be done either by Androidand the iPhone (iOS). In this tutorial, we use an iPhone.

Another common situation is when we block people that we don't even save on the phone. In such cases, to make the deletion effective you will need to save the number, block and only then delete, since the app understands that it does not make sense to delete a number that is not even in your phonebook. That is, if a very large blocked list bothers you, otherwise, just block without adding the number and keep it in "Blocked".

Follow the tutorial below and learn how to delete blocked contacts from WhatsApp.

1. Access the chat of the person you want to block (or who is already blocked). To block it, touch the contact's name and then "Block contact". Then, confirm the action by pressing the "Lock" button. Okay, the contact has been blocked, but the person can still send SMS and call your device;

2. Open your native phone book on your cell phone. Find the name in the search bar and access the contact page;

3. Touch the "Edit" option. Scroll the page to the end and click "Delete contact". Done, contact blocked and deleted. Remembering that, if you do not want to block contact only on WhatsApp, the phone also gives you the option to block native calls, via FaceTime and SMS. Just tap the "Block this caller" button on the contact page (before clicking "Edit") and then confirm the action.

The tutorial is also valid for Android, with only a few different names and confirmations. Depending on the version, depending on the contact, you will have to identify a reason for blocking that contact, for example. But the rest of the process follows the same path.
