This annoying WhatsApp bug lets your blocked contacts text you anyway

A recent bug in WhatsApp has allowed blocked contacts to send messages to the users who blocked them. Users of the app are reportedly receiving messages from contacts they have blocked. The bug not only allows blocked contacts to send you messages but also enables them to view your display picture and status. The bug has affected both Android and iOS users.

For those, who do not want to hear from their ex-partner or ex-best friend, and they have blocked them on WhatsApp are reportedly receiving messages from them and facing major issues due to this annoying bug.

People are reacting outrageously to this critical bug in WhatsApp. They have taken on popular social media platform, Twitter, to share their concerns.

Here’s how you can fix the issue in simple steps:

Step 1: Open the chat of the blocked user who sent you a message
Step 2: Tap on the contact’s name and access the Contact Info
Step 3: Now scroll down and click on the “Unblock contact” option
Step 4: Now click on “Block contact” and block the contact once again.

As of now, it appears that the bug has been fixed for some devices. Hope WhatsApp fixes this bug pretty soon.
