WhatsApp block

[Answerspls]

Hi, I have asked my partner to block someone on WhatsApp which he done last week, but when we checked today it says blocked x 4 times?
He said he has not unblocked this person, why does WhatsApp do this? Has this ever happened to anyone else or is he lying to me? It does not say he unblocked this person though..
thank you

Where does it say that? Under Blocked contacts?

Yes. If you click on the name or number in blocked contact and click chat it will show even if the chats have been deleted

I haven't got a clue. But I am uncomfortable with one adult insisting another adult block someone.

It will say if he’s unblocked and reblocked someone. I unblocked my ex one and reblocked him again literally in the same minute and if you click in to start a chat it will come up ‘you blocked this contact’ then ‘you unblocked this contact’. Coming up 4 times is strange. Try it yourself and block someone you don’t talk to or engage with and see what it does and then you’ll know yourself

You have no context who why I have asked, so don't judge.

OP you don’t have to justify it. I remember a woman who me and my husband hadn’t heard from in years randomly messaged him one Christmas to say she was thinking about him and to be fair he showed me straight away and I asked him to block her and it was no issue. Its called boundaries and respect.

YOu're all right, OP doesn't have to justify anything. But for the record - @Mamarnd2 in a situation like that, if it was me who received such a message I would not appreciate being asked by DH to block. I'd either ignore the message, and expect him to accept that. Or I'd choose to block myself. I'm a grown adult and it's my phone - I don't see it as "boundaries and respect" for Dh to decide who should be able to message me. That's control.

But each to their own and OP hasn't asked about any of that so fair enough.

If you don't trust that he's blocked the person then there's no point him having the block in place really as its not going to satisfy you. Personally I would suggest he get a new phone and number and not copy that person's contact across.

But he could just not reply??

@alpacachino he was more than happy to block. She knew he was with someone and has a reputation and a half and sent a completely inappropriate message. He was as angry about it as I was and if the shoe hadve been on the other foot I would’ve also blocked. It’s not someone we are ever going to see again and what she did was inappropriate at best and disrespectful at worst.

I just don't get why he needed you to tell him to block her then? He could have just ignored her. Said that's not appropriate. Or blocked her. All 3 of those options are perfectly fine it's the needing to be told that bothers me.

By the sounds of things, it was a mutual decision for them to block. Yes he asked to block and he done it with no issues caused which is a sign of respect to his relationship and partner. It's not about not trusting the person you're with, it's about not trusting the other person sometimes. I personally wouldn't want another woman being able to message my partner whenever she likes regardless of him not answering back.

Well don’t you do it then. Doesn’t bother me or my husband 👍🏼

Ok 👍

The other woman isn't going to do anything other than make a complete tit of herself if she's flirting with someone who just ignores her
