How blocking works

Steps

1. Open the profile, message thread, or safety surface where the block option appears.
2. Choose the block action.
3. Review any confirmation copy before continuing.
4. Manage blocked accounts later from Settings where available.

What to expect

Blocking can reduce contact and visibility in places like messages, connections, activity, and social surfaces. It may not remove every past interaction everywhere instantly.

Reporting vs blocking

Use blocking when you want to limit contact. Use reporting when something needs Idle review, such as harassment, threats, spam, impersonation, fake meets, unsafe activity, or privacy violations.
