How to Block Someone on Whatsapp Without Them Knowing

It’s a fact that the people we call friends are among the most important people in our lives. We all have social networks, though some people tend to have more extensive networks than others. Are you completely, brutally honest about how you feel about all of your friends, whether you have ten friends or fifty? It’s improbable at best.

You might be able to be totally honest with one or two close friends, but it’s not something that should be done publicly. Why? Because we’re all flawed humans who might feel uncomfortable if someone else pointed out our flaws. Your close circle of friends is no exception. You may find some of them annoying or overbearing, but you try to keep it to yourself so as not to hurt their feelings.

One digital manifestation of this is the desire to unintentionally disconnect others from our social media accounts. This is why features like muting, archiving, and setting restrictions exist. However, what about preventing other people from seeing your content? Is it something you can do without the target knowing?
