If someone is bullying or harassing you, or sending naked photos of you then you can report and block them. This won’t delete any photos they’ve saved but can get them banned from using the app.
To block or report someone:
- go to the chat with the person you want to report
- tap on the group or person’s name to open their profile
- scroll down and press Report
- you can also block the person on this page.
Blocking someone on messenger apps means they won’t be able to send you nasty messages. Usually the other person won’t know that you’ve blocked them. You'll just appear offline when they look at their contacts.
Can I delete an image I’ve sent to someone?
When you share images on WhatsApp, the person receiving them will then have copies on their phone, which they can share with people inside and outside of WhatsApp. Even if you delete a message or an image from your chat, others may still have a back-up or screenshot.
Video chatting on WhatsApp isn’t recorded automatically, but can still be recorded or screenshotted. Once this happens, you lose control of it.
