Remove a contact from Status

You can remove any contact from your Status contact list. In Status, you need to add people as contacts to start a conversation. After you remove a Status contact, neither you nor your contact can send new messages to each other.

  • Removing a contact from Status removes the identity verification associated with that contact but not their reputation (trusted or untrusted).
  • When you remove contacts, they don't receive a notification, but they may notice when their messages to you fail to send.
  • After you remove a contact, your direct messages with them remain. To delete these messages, clear the chat history.
  • A user not on your contact list can still see your profile and send you a contact request. To prevent this, you can block the user.
info
Status doesn't access or use your phone's contact list. When you remove a contact from Status who is also on your phone's contact list, that person stays on your list.
