Blocking a User

If someone is making you uncomfortable, you can block them at any time. There are two ways to block a user on Winklr, depending on where you are in the app.

Blocking from a profile

1. Open the person's profile.
2. Tap the options menu.
3. Tap Block and confirm when prompted.

Blocking from a chat

1. Open the chat with the person you want to block.
2. Open the Chat Info panel.
3. Tap Block User and confirm when prompted.

What happens when you block someone?

When you block a user, the following takes effect immediately:

• Hidden from Discovery -- they will no longer appear in your feed, and you will not appear in theirs.
• Cannot contact you -- they will not be able to send you any messages.
• Shared content removed -- any shared photo albums between you are removed.
• No notification -- the blocked user is not told that you have blocked them.

Device-level blocking

Winklr uses device-level blocking, which means the block persists even if the person creates a new account on the same device. This provides stronger protection than account-based blocking alone.

Viewing blocked accounts and unblocking

To view or unblock accounts you have blocked:

1. Go to Settings > Security > Blocked Accounts.
2. You will see a list of all profiles you have blocked.
3. Select the profile you want to unblock and tap Unblock.
