# `bird whatsapp suppressions`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp suppressions
```

## Description

A suppression blocks every message to one address, either from one WhatsApp Business
Account or from the whole workspace, so the same address can appear more than once.
Ending one keeps its record, and only a suppression you added can be ended: a
recipient's own opt-out is theirs to reverse.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated. Destructive commands require --yes.
