How Can I Hide My Whatsapp Account from My Unwanted Contacts?

It is not uncommon to have contacts on WhatsApp that you would rather not have. Once you create a WhatsApp account with your number, it becomes quite easy for any person who has that number to send you messages via the app.

If you consider this a breach of your privacy, you are not wrong. You have the right to choose whether a person should or shouldn’t have access to you. 

Are you thinking of a way to hide your WhatsApp from these unwanted contacts? If your aim is to keep unwanted contacts off, you could always use the WhatsApp block feature. Blocking a contact on WhatsApp guarantees that the contact is no longer able to message you, or see updates from you. 

To block your unwanted contacts on WhatsApp, follow the steps below:
