Blocking and reporting
You can block a person so they stop messaging you and disappear from your cards, posts and search, and anonymously report their profile.
What blocking does
- You cannot message each other - the text field disappears from your conversation. You see “You have blocked this user.”, and the other person sees that they cannot reply because you blocked them.
- You do not see each other in Meet, in search, in the “They want to meet you” list or in contacts.
- You do not see each other's posts and cannot tag each other (@).
- Blocking works both ways, also when someone has blocked you.
- The blocked person does not get a notification about the block.
On the website: blocking and unblocking
- Open the conversation with this person in the chat.
- Click “More options” (⋯) in the header and choose “Block user”. Confirm.
- To unblock, open the same conversation and click “Unblock”.
In the app: blocking and unblocking
- In the conversation open the menu in the header and choose “Block the profile”. You can also go to the menu (your photo) → “Connections”, tap the person and choose “Block the profile”.
- Confirm the block.
- To unblock, open the conversation with this person and tap “Unblock”.
There is no list of blocked people in the settings. You always unblock in the conversation with the person.
Reporting a profile
Reports are anonymous - the reported person will not find out who reported them. The Mybzz team checks every report. Reporting without a reason is against the Terms, so choose a reason that really fits.
On the website: reporting
- Open the conversation with this person.
- Click “More options” (⋯) → “Report profile”.
- Choose a reason: “Inappropriate content”, “Offensive behaviour”, “Fake profile”, “Spam” or “Other reason”.
In the app: reporting
- In the conversation open the menu in the header and choose “Report the profile”. Reasons: “Inappropriate information”, “Offensive behaviour”, “Fake Profile”, spam or another reason.
- Or: menu (your photo) → “Connections” → person → “Report the profile”. Here the reasons are: spam, “Offensive behaviour”, “Inappropriate messages”, “Other”.
Good to know
- On the website you block and report a person from the conversation window - the profile itself does not have these options.
- On the website a blocked person's profile may still open from a direct link. In the app you will see “Profile unavailable”.
- Posts in the feed are not reported separately. If someone posts something inappropriate, block them or report their profile.
- Blocking does not delete your conversation history.
Frequently asked questions
Does the blocked person know I blocked them?
They do not get a notification, but they will see in your conversation that they cannot reply.
How do I unblock someone whose conversation I deleted?
You unblock in the conversation, and there is no separate list of blocked people. If you no longer see the conversation, message us through the help chat - we will help.
What happens after a report?
The Mybzz team checks the profile. We block accounts that break the Terms.
