Safety & reporting
Blocking someone
This article explains how to block someone and what blocking does. Blocking takes effect immediately, and the other person is not notified.
- Open their profile, or your conversation with them.
- Open the menu.
- Choose Block.
What blocking does
- Neither of you can message the other.
- They cannot call you.
- You no longer see each other's feed posts.
- Neither of you can comment on the other's content.
- Neither of you sees the other's stories.
- You no longer appear in each other's people search.
- You cannot add someone you have blocked to a group.
You can also block from a message request. The request disappears and the person cannot message you again.
Your blocked list is in Settings → Blocked users. You can unblock someone there, or from their profile, at any time.
Blocking does not alert our team. If the person broke the rules, report them as well so we can act.
