How to block someone’s messages on WeChat
In daily use of WeChat, it is inevitable that you will encounter some contacts who do not want to receive messages, such as advertising promotions, harassing messages, or people you do not want to contact temporarily. The blocking function can help users effectively manage social relationships. This article will introduce in detail the steps for blocking messages on WeChat, and attach recent hot topic data on the entire network for reference.
1. Steps for blocking messages on WeChat
1.Open WeChat, enter the chat list and find the contact or group chat that needs to be blocked.
2.Enter the chat interface, click the "..." or "More" button in the upper right corner.
3.Turn on Do Not Disturb messages: Find the "Do Not Disturb Message" option in the settings page. After turning it on, the contact's messages will no longer be reminded, but the conversation will still be displayed in the list.
4.Completely block messages (block): Select "Add to Blacklist" on the settings page. After confirmation, the contact will not be able to send you messages, and both parties will not be able to view each other's Moments updates.

3. During the blocking period, the previous chat records between the two parties will still be retained, and you can continue to view them after the blocking is lifted.
