However, blocked contacts will still be able to see your messages in a group chat, which is sort of strange, but that’s how it works for now.

Is that strange? Couldn’t there be a benefit of not letting them know you blocked them?

On the flip side, they can read your group chat messages. Many(me included) will prefer that it isn’t a possibility.

Why would you block someone and then stay in a group chat with them?

As someone who was being stalked for a while, would have been really fucking nice if Voice had sorted this out a few years ago
