Like any other service it also has flaws and problems, always resolved quickly. The most recent problem came a few days ago, with the possibility of receiving messages from contacts that are blocked. The ability to block contacts is present in most messaging software and allows you to stop receiving messages from people you do not want to interact with. It’s essential, and WhatsApp has worked well.
The latest WhatsApp crash
The failure that has been reported in the last few days realizes that this blocking feature has stopped working and the blocked contacts have once again been able to view the status of the user and send messages to them.
The first time I thought they were wrong, instead..Unblocking and blocking the contact should help to fix.

The solution for this WhatsApp problem
From what it was already possible to test, the simplest way to resolve, even temporarily, this problem is to remove it from the lock to the contact and add it back to the block list.

The answer from WhatsApp
WhatsApp has already recognized this problem and the dev team already now preparing a new version of its app to address this issue and resolve it fully. The new version should be available at any time and distributed to users. This is a serious problem but one that is suspected to be on the side of WhatsApp servers. Despite having a “manual” solution, it requires a direct intervention from WhatsApp itself to be resolved immediately. So, what do you think about this?
