Step 1: Open WhatsApp
The first step is to open the WhatsApp application on your smartphone. Look for the green icon with a white phone receiver inside it and tap on it. This will launch the app.
Step 2: Access the Group
Once inside the app, navigate to the Chats tab where you will see a list of your recent conversations. Find the group you want to block and tap on it to access the chat window.
Step 3: Open Group Info
Next, locate the group info option. This can usually be found by tapping on the three vertical dots or the group name at the top of the chat window. Select the option that says “Group Info” to proceed.
Step 4: Choose Group Settings
In the group info page, you will find various options related to the group. Scroll down until you come across the “Group Settings” section. Tap on it to expand the options.
Step 5: Block the Group
Now, within the group settings, you should see an option that says “Block Group”. Tap on it to initiate the blocking process.
Step 6: Confirm Block
A confirmation pop-up will appear, asking if you want to block the group. Read the message carefully and make sure you want to proceed with the block. To confirm, tap on the “Block” option.
Step 7: Success!
Once you have confirmed the block, the group will no longer be accessible to you. You will no longer receive any notifications or messages from this group.
It’s important to note that blocking a group only affects your end, and other participants in the group will not be notified or aware of your action. Additionally, you can unblock the group at any time by following the same steps and selecting the “Unblock Group” option instead.
