What is the use of blocking a contact on a phone?
Sometimes people tend to block users without really knowing everything that this entails, and from here arises the need to really know what it is for and how it affects blocking a contact.
Initially when you block a user they will not be able to make phone calls or send you SMS messages. That is, the blocked person will not be able to use their line to communicate with you.
Second, the blocking of that user can also be seen in some applications although this is not very common.
One of the applications in which if it is possible to appreciate the blocking of a user is in WhatsApp and you can also block someone in Hangouts. But in the same way, there can be no interaction between the blocked number and the user who blocked it through the social network.

How to block a contact or phone number on Huawei?
