WhatsApp working on feature for users to block contacts within chat list: Report

Messaging platform WhatsApp is releasing a feature which will enable users to block anyone within the chat list and notification. This feature is currently available for some beta testers, WABetaInfo reported.

According to the report, there are two ways in which users can block contacts in a chat. The first one is available in the chat list by opening the chat options so that one can easily block a contact without opening the chat. The second option is available within the notifications and appears in some specific situations while receiving messages through unknown contacts.

However, the feature enabling users to block multiple contacts at once from the chat list is not planned in near future at this moment.
