When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, there is little you can do to lift the restrictions. As long as they have you on their blacklist, you cannot send them messages, photos, videos, or voice memos. You also don’t see their status or the last time they logged in. However, there seems to be a trick you can use to unlock a user-imposed ban. It consists in deleting and re-creating your account.
Preliminary Notes
Before proceeding, note the following points:
- If you delete your account, WhatsApp will remove you from all groups. So if you sign up again with your number, you’ll have to ask the admins to add you again.
- Since this is a new account, you may not be able to properly restore your backup. Make a manual backup of anything you want to keep.
- Until you recreate your profile, nobody can contact you via WhatsApp.
That’s why we advise you to consider whether it is worth breaking the blockage using this method.
