Reporting or blocking someone
Updated 18 August 2026 · Markdown version
When to use them
Report when something breaks the rules (deception, harassment, inappropriate content, an attempted scam). Block when you don't want to hear from someone again — no explanations needed.
If it isn't a safety problem
If you simply don't want to hear from someone again, you don't need to go this far: blocking does that job, it is silent, reversible and opens no case — stop seeing someone. Reporting out of taste muddies the signal we use to protect people who really need it.
How it's done
Open the person's three-dot menu (⋮): you'll find it on their card, on their full profile and in an agreement's chat. There you have "Report" and "Block".
Reporting requires a verified identity, because it opens a case. Blocking does not, because it is your own protection and accuses nobody.
What happens next
- Report: you'll see the confirmation that it was sent and our team reviews it; if the breach is confirmed, action is taken on the reported account — the usual measure is a temporary use restriction, with an end date and a right of appeal. The other person is not told who reported them, and you are not told the outcome.
- A report blocks as well. You stop crossing paths and your open conversations close, with everything that entails: stop seeing someone. That block shows up in "Blocked users" as "Blocked when you reported" and you can undo it whenever you want — but unblocking does not withdraw the report: it runs its course all the same.
Reporting a directory tag
Motivation tags can be reported too: from the tag, tap "Report this hashtag", pick the reason — "Discriminatory or sensitive", "Trademark or impersonation", "Spam or contact details" or "Other" — and tap "Send report". Reporting a tag blocks nobody: it is content, not a person.
If it's urgent
Facing real risk (threats, an ongoing fraud), besides reporting in the app, write to us directly and go to the police if appropriate.
