WhatsApp acknowledges bug that ignores blocked status
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.
Obviously this is a very serious issue, so it should be fixed very soon.. but I hope WhatsApp is aware of it 😥 there are many tweets on Twitter about this problem if you try to search “whatsapp blocked”..

For its part, WhatsApp has acknowledged the bug. "We are aware of the issue and are rolling out a fix," the company said.
