If you hate someone from the deepest part of your heart, In this tutorial on Controverity we will teach you How to Block Someone on Telegram.
For that purpose, follow these rules step-by-step:
Step 1: Open the Chat
First, find the person or bot you want to block and open the chat.
Step 2: Click on Their Profile Picture
Click on the name or photo of their profile. And then click on three dot on top-right corner (⋮)
Step 3: Click on ‘Block User’
On the showed-up menu you can see an option ‘Block User‘. Just hit on that!
Note: In case you want to block a TG bot, you will see a red-colored option ‘Delete and Block‘
How to Unblock a User
Once you block someone on Telegram, they can’t message or call you. Your profile goes invisible to them, too. But here’s a heads-up: if you’re in a mutual group, they might still see your messages there.
I learned this the hard way when an old coworker I’d blocked popped up in a project chat. Awkward! Telegram’s 2025 update added a “hide my posts in groups” option, though—check your privacy settings for that gem.
Practical Tip for Beginners: After blocking, double-check your group memberships to avoid surprises.
Alternatives to Blocking
Blocking’s not always the answer. I’ve muted chats when I just needed a break—like that family group that pings 50 times a day. You can also report spam or harassment through Telegram’s support. Last week, I reported a bot pushing shady links, and it was gone in hours. Pretty satisfying! What’s your go-to move for chat overload?
