Have figured out that you have been blocked on WhatsApp? And now you are looking for ways to unblock yourself on WhatsApp. You’re lucky as you are at the right place we can definitely help you with this. You might have come across ways to unblock yourself on WhatsApp but that method includes deleting WhatsApp account and losing the data, of course, WhatsApp data can be recovered but it’s too much of work. To overcome this I have come across a way with which you can Unblock yourself from someone in WhatsApp without deleting account. This method works on for both iPhone and Android. Let’s learn about it.
Unblock Yourself On WhatsApp Without Deleting Account
With this method, you can unblock yourself on WhatsApp new version without deleting account. Unlike other methods which only work on WhatsApp old versions and involves deleting of account. You will need help from a mutual friend, colleague, family member and your convincing skills. I will consider my example for this article and explain the Process. I have used WhatsApp for iOS version 2.16.6 for screenshots.
1. I am Hemant and blocked by Akshay(my friend) as you can see from the below screenshot. Profile and Status are not visible even the messages are not delivered.
2. I seek help from my another good friend Rahul who is a mutual friend to create a WhatsApp Group and add Akshay and myself to it.
3. Now if I send messages to that Group those will be received even by Akshay. His replies will be received by me as well even though Akshay has blocked me on WhatsApp as shown in the picture below.
If you want to keep the chat Private you can ask your mutual friend to leave the group(In my case Rahul). After which only both of you can chat as if you would chat in Individual/personal conversation on WhatsApp.
Now, you can convince that person to unblock you.
Note:
1. You still won’t see the Profile picture, Status, last seen or online status of contact who has blocked you with this procedure. But most importantly you can chat with them.
2. WhatsApp lets you chat with the person in Group who has blocked you on WhatsApp. This might change anytime but till then you can use this WhatsApp trick to Unblock yourself from anyone on WhatsApp.
Did this solve your problem? Share your experience or if you have any other method to do so.
but the new version of whatsapp that is 2.16.255 donot support this trick to unblock myself.
Hi Anupam,
I just had a quick check on the latest WhatsApp version for Android and this trick still works. Please try messaging that person in a group.
It doesn’t unblock you. but it allows you to talk with the person who has blocked you. (IN THE LATEST VERSION OF WHATSAPP)
Yes, using this you can talk to them and ask them to unblock you.
Hi Hemant,
I’m not sure if this friend has blocked me or not. I can’t see his profile picture anymore , I only see one grey check when I send him messages, but I tried to create a chat group and added him and I succeeded . Does it mean I’m not blocked, he is just hiding all his features ?
If you are able to add a user to a WhatsApp group then surely you are not blocked.
My boyfriend has blocked me on what’s app how to unblock myself tried to delete the account and install again what’s app but still I can’t see him active or last seen please help.
Hi Sapna, you can ask your mutual friend to add him to a group as mentioned in this article and sort out the issue.

Give the solution to windows mobile users please
Hi Sandeep,
The same method works for Windows smartphone as well.
not much benefit. the person who blocked us can also leave that group made by the mutual friend.
Hi Robby,
I agree with you here, but still trying something is better than nothing. Who knows they appreciate your effort to talk to them even when they blocked you.
Hey, i want to downgrade whatsapp to the version i can unblock myself with deleting account, can you give me link of whatsapp.apk that will work with deleting account? And tell me please the procedure
Hi Jack,
The following tutorial should help you in getting the APK and downgrading WhatsApp – Unblock yourself on WhatsApp
Wanna ask you about an idea in my mind, does it work if i got another number and in the whatsapp settings i changed my old number to a new one, then i deleted my account, then recreate a new account with my old number, so the people who blocked me are gone with the new number, and I’ve got my old number refreshed?
Hi Jack,
Sounds good. Try it out and do share your experience.
Downgrading is not allowed anymore. It just asks you to download the new version the moment you start it.
Yeah!
I know about you second method unfortunately I don’t have a mutual friend to create a group and unblock myself.do you have any other methods?a way that I can unblock me myself.if it’s so please tell it would be a great help
Hi Dasie,

What happens when my friend leaves the chat group?
Only you and the other person who has blocked you will be there in the group and you can chat privately 🙂
