About a billion messages are sent daily via WhatsApp. Easy registration, excellent functionality, cross-platform, usability - these are the main reasons why an increasing number of smartphone owners are switching to this service.
But sometimes a particularly annoying interlocutor can get so bored that the question arises, how to remove his contact from your list in WhatsApp. Let's consider this procedure in detail.
Immediately, we note: any contact in the WhatsApp program can be deleted, even though they are automatically integrated from the smartphone's notebook at startup.
However, there is one peculiarity. Registration in the WhatsApp application is based on the phone number. But in the program itself, the user can use not his real name, but a nickname invented by him. Sometimes this causes a problem for a person who wants to remove a contact from their list in the application.
Removing a contact from WhatsApp on Android
To find required contact WhatsApp in your phone book and to remove it, you need to do the following:
If after these simple steps the contact in the WhatsApp program has not disappeared, then most likely you have not closed the correspondence with this user. To fix this oversight, hold down the dialog shortcut on the Conversations page and then select Delete.
Delete contact from WhatsApp on IPhone
As long as a contact remains in your “Contacts” phonebook on the IPhone, deleting it from WatsApp will not be effective, it will constantly reappear there.
To resolve this issue - there are 2 options:
1. Delete the entry from the "Contacts" application in the phone - for this you need to:
- Go to the application and select the person you want to remove.
- Click "Contacts" in the upper right corner.
- Scroll the screen all the way down and press "Delete contact".
2. Block user on WhatsApp:
Should you remove a contact completely?
After carrying out the above steps, contact will disappear from your WhatsApp list. However, if your number was recorded in the phone of a remote user, then he will be able to send you a message, despite the fact that you have removed his contact.
Block this user if you do not want to receive messages from him. Only after that you will no longer be able to disturb each other's peace of mind with messages, forever ending your communication through the WhatsApp application.
Blocking can be applied without permanently removing the interlocutor from your friends list. Usually it is used when they want to stop communication for a while, but at the same time not lose touch with a person. Therefore, before you permanently remove the personal data of another person from your notebook, it is worth considering whether he is really annoying with his conversations.

There are situations when it is necessary to delete the interlocutor's number from the WhatsApp program. The goals of this action can be different. Before deleting a contact from WhatsApp, you must remember that if you delete a contact only from the program memory, then it will not be in the phone book of the smartphone either. The application reads information from the device's memory.
Removing a person from your contact list
In order to perform the operation, you must sequentially perform the following steps:
The user will automatically go to the contact book on his phone, where the information about the subscriber is stored. After that, it remains only to use the smartphone settings, press the button "Delete" and confirm your actions. 
Note
We saw that the way to remove a person from Watsap is pretty simple. Some smartphone models last generation offer to hide user data from accounts, and at the same time not to permanently delete information about him. In some cases, this feature will be very useful.
Sometimes users complain that even after deleting the contact periodically appears in the program. Most likely, the information from the chat history has not been erased. In order to delete it, you need to open the correspondence, call the context menu and press "More - Clear Chat".
After completing this operation, you do not have to worry that an unwanted interlocutor or reminders about him will appear in front of you someday.
