WhatsApp acknowledges bug that ignores blocked status
« on: May 25, 2018, 01:29:11 AM »
Popular messaging service WhatsApp is plagued with a major bug that allows users to message you even after you've blocked them.

In addition to messaging, the loophole - which is present on both Android and iOS clients of the service - allows blocked contacts to see your status and profile details as well.

The problem has a quick solution: unblock the contact and block them again. However, not many users are aware of the workaround.
