If you do not talk for a long time with former colleagues or neighbors in your old home, you can keep your phone on your mobile device, but their contact on WhatsApp is not.

If you add them to the list of blocked contacts, they will not be able to see your profile, or talk to you, and they may call you on the phone if they want something important, but this way you are strengthening the privacy of your WhatsApp account.

There are contacts you don’t want to tell about your personal life, but you need to remember who can see your profile picture.

For that reason it is best to avoid family photos or to be in personal situations.
