How to hide a contact in WhatsApp without deleting or blocking it
- The first thing you should do is enter the “Contacts” option on your cell phone.
- At that time you must search for the name of the contact that you want to hide in WhatsApp.
- When you find it, just hit edit.
- Now you must remove the prefix of that mobile number, for example, if it has +519XXXXX, you should only leave +9XXXXX.
- If you do not have a prefix, you must add the symbol “+” at the beginning of the number.
- That way it will no longer appear in WhatsApp, but you will have it as a contact.
- You will be able to make calls, but it will not be possible to have it or chat on WhatsApp.
Remember that so that they do not appear in WhatsApp you must delete the prefix in your contact list. (Photo: MAG – Rommel Yupanqui)
