WhatsApp is a fast expanding messaging app worldwide. It is reliable, safe and offers numerous helpful features. It appears that almost everyone and every business in this world is very well familiar with this application and using it for their communication purposes. With such a population if something goes wrong or inappropriate, people block and unblock others with just a few clicks. So, if you want to know how to chat with someone if he/she has blocked you, then you are at the right place. Let’s see how we can make this work.
If someone has blocked you and you still want to speak with them, here’s how you can contact them. In this article, you’ll get to know 2 useful methods in this regard.
Method 1: Group chat on WhatsApp
In addition to personal texting, WhatsApp supports group chats. To message someone who has blocked you via group chat, you must first find a mutual friend with you and the blocking contact in their WhatsApp contact list. If this mutual contact adds you and the blocked person to a group chat, you can talk to each other and work out your conflicts. So, here’s how to message someone who has blocked you on WhatsApp.
Step 1: On the iPhone, navigate to the compose message screen at the top right of the WhatsApp main screen and select “create group”. On Android, navigate to the three dots menu in the top right corner and select “create group”.
Step 2: The mutual contact will add both you and the individual who had blocked you, to the group.
Step 3: Now, any message you send to this group will be received by all group members including the one who blocked you. You can even ask the mutual contact to leave so you can continue your conversation in private.
This method works until the blocked person decides to stay in the group. If s/he leaves you’re back at the starting point.
In this case, we have another approach to this problem that goes like this:
Method 2: Delete and reactivate your WhatsApp account
What happens when you phone someone who has blocked you? You cannot message someone who has blocked you. So, if you really want to send messages, you should only use this approach since it will deactivate and reactivate your WhatsApp account which has major consequences because it will remove you from all of your WhatsApp groups. If you are the group owner, you will lose admin rights. You will also lose your chat history from iCloud and Google Drive also.
If you want to delete and deactivate your WhatsApp account in order to communicate someone who has blocked you, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open WhatsApp on your phone and navigate to Settings.
Step 2: Go to “My Account” and select “Delete Account”.
Step 3: Enter your phone number and select “Delete My Account”. Now delete and reactivate your WhatsApp account.
Step 4: To reactivate your WhatsApp account, launch WhatsApp on your phone and follow the on-screen instructions.
