WhatsApp to bring feature to block contact without going inside chat: Report

Soon, users may be able to block a contact on WhatsApp from the chat list itself, without going inside the conversation. This is according to WhatsApp news tracker WABetaInfo, which said the Meta-owned platform is working on a shortcut which will allow users to block a contact from the chat list itself.

To explain how the concept will work, WABetaInfo shared this screenshot:

Here, as you can see, the ‘Block’ option will be added right within the chat option in the chat list to quickly block a contact; it will be introduced in a future update of the app.
