WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messaging applications globally.
With time, they have developed and improved various features, especially privacy, and security.
WhatsApp is equipped with a block feature that allows you to block other users without any notification sent to them.
However, did you know there are alternative ways to still engage and converse with users that have blocked you?
Once you realize that you have been blocked, with the help of a mutual friend, you can ask them to create and add you and the user that blocked you to a group chat where messages sent will be visible to all group members.
Remember that this is not a way to unblock yourself but just a trick to help you communicate with someone who has blocked you. Also, you can decide to use the challenging route of deleting and creating your WhatsApp account again.
In this post, we will go through these methods procedurally and step by step to help guide you on how to text someone who has blocked you on WhatsApp.
Method #1: WhatsApp Group Chat
For this method, you will require the assistance of a friend, especially a mutual friend between you and the user that has blocked you.
The helping friend should have saved both your number and the user who blocked you and ensured both appeared in their WhatsApp contact list.
If the mutual friend now adds both of you to a WhatsApp group he created, you can send text messages to the group, and all members will receive and see the message.
You can converse to help resolve your differences and ask them to unblock you.
Firstly, the mutual friend will create a new group on WhatsApp. They will then add you and the user who blocked you to the group.
Afterward, you can now send your desired message, which will be delivered and received by all participants in that group, including the person who blocked you.
If you require privacy to try and discuss and solve your differences, you can request the helping friend leave the group.
However, this method only works when the user that blocked you remains in this group; if they decide to exit you, you cannot text or communicate with them.
Method #2: Delete, Deactivate, and Reactivate Your WhatsApp Account
Deleting your WhatsApp account is costly and has profound effects, and you should understand what comes with this decision.
This method should only be used if all other methods fail.
Deleting and reactivating your account will automatically remove you from all the groups you participated in. If there are groups that you administrate, you will also be removed from them, and you will lose all administrator rights.
Also, your chat history on Google Drive and iCloud will be lost. Even so, you can still recover your data from a local backup.
If you choose to delete and deactivate your account follow the steps below to help you message users that have blocked you.
- Open WhatsApp.
- Tap on the three dots in the top right corner. Skip this step for iOS devices.
- Tap on “Settings.”
- Tap on “Account.“
- Tap the “Delete My Account” option.
- Confirm your country code, enter your phone number, and tap “Delete My Account.“
- Re-launch WhatsApp on your phone.
- Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to reactivate your WhatsApp account.
Once set up, you can message anyone directly.
This method will enable you to send messages to everyone, including the ones who blocked you.
Conclusion
With the above methods, you can maneuver the issue of being blocked and get back to communication with someone who has blocked you.
You should note that applying the steps above will not prevent the other user from blocking you again.
The best solution is to resolve the issue between you and the user who blocked you so you remain in communication with them.
