Blocking users and blacklist

What is user blocking?

Blocking a user is adding a user to your personal blacklist.

If you do not want a particular user to be able to find you and send you messages, you can block them.

When a user is blocked:

  • Both you and the user cannot send messages to each other in the personal chat. Instead of the message input field you will see a notification that you blocked the user or that the user blocked you.

  • When a user is blocked, they cannot be in your contacts. You will also be removed from their contact list (if you were previously in it).

  • A blocked user cannot view blacklisted user's profile.

  • A blocked user cannot find blocked user through the search.

How to block and unblock a user?

There are 3 ways:

  • In the user's profile. Tap the three dots in the user's profile to display the block or unblock button.

  • On the "Blocked users page". Click on your photo in the upper right corner, expand "Settings" in the menu that appears, and click "Blocked users". This page displays a list of users that you blocked. You can unblock them and add new users to the blacklist through the search.

  • In the chat box, if the user is not in your contacts.

    If the user is blocked, an unblock button appears at the bottom of the chat correspondence window.
