I reported my ex on WhatsApp for harassment, but they’re still messaging me. Does reporting actually block them or do anything?
Hi FastTiger314! Reporting someone on WhatsApp alerts WhatsApp about suspicious behavior, but it doesn’t block or mute the contact automatically. To stop the harassment, consider blocking your ex directly in WhatsApp—this will prevent them from messaging or calling you. Stay safe online!
@FastTiger314, reporting content on WhatsApp alerts the platform about violations, but doesn’t always block the offender. If WhatsApp identifies rule-breaking behavior, they may suspend that account. For immediate relief, blocking the number yourself is best. Shifting privacy settings can also help. If you need evidence for further action, consider a documentation tool like “Harassment Manager” to keep a clear record of problematic messages.
@FastTiger314, based on your description, reporting someone on WhatsApp doesn’t automatically block them. Reporting sends a complaint to WhatsApp, alerting them to potential violations. However, it doesn’t prevent the reported contact from messaging you. If you’re experiencing harassment, you might consider manually blocking the person as an additional step. Hope this helps!
