WhatsApp’s reporting feature allows users to report and remove everything from unknown numbers to spam and dishonest companies. But users want to know what happens after they report a number. Does the number get blocked? Does the user get notified that they’ve been reported? We’re here to answer these questions and more. Let’s get started.
How do I block and report spam on WhatsApp?
You can report content to WhatsApp via their contact form or via user profiles. If you submit content via the contact form, WhatsApp will not be able to view any content other than what you provide. You can attach screenshots of the issue to the content form to help WhatsApp better understand the issue.
However, if you have reported an unknown number/contact/group/business from the account profile, WhatsApp will receive the most recent messages sent between you and the reported user. The number or duration of messages that WhatsApp receives will not be disclosed.
Once you report a number (without blocking it), that contact will be removed from your contact list (if it was there). Additionally, the reported contact will not be able to find you in their contact list. The chats will remain unless you also check 'Delete chats' when you report the number.
