Do you want to avoid running into an ex, a coworker, or a friend while scrolling through Tinder ? The feature Block Contacts blocks specific profiles from your contacts list, so you no longer see those users in your suggestions without having to delete your account Tinder. Here's how it works!
How do I block a contact on Tinder?
The feature Block Contacts lets you block contacts directly from your phone book. You sync your contact list, you choose who you want to avoid seeing, and that's it.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Open the’application Tinder on your device.
- Press your profile icon top left.
- Go to Settings, then scroll down to Block Contacts.
- Give to Tinder access to your contacts.
- Select from the’Contacts tab people to block.
- Finish by pressing Block Contacts.
Once confirmed, you won't see these anymore profiles scroll through your suggestions. The reverse is also true: blocked users can no longer come across your profile Tinder.
How does the "Block Contacts" feature work?
When you use Block Contacts, Tinder It accesses your contacts only to let you choose who to block. None of your contacts know that you're on the app.
Side privacy, Tinder keeps only the contact information for the blocked contacts. The rest of your repertoire isn't saved. In fact, you can Stop sharing at any time from the same menu in Settings.
How do you unblock someone on Tinder?
Have you changed your mind? Just go back to Settings then Block Contacts, open the blocked contacts list, select the name in question, and tap Unlock. That person becomes visible again and can see your profile once more.
The lock is independent of the alert. If you want to alert Tinder If you notice problematic behavior, you can report a profile separately from its profile page.
How do you block your ex on the app?
To block your ex on Tinder, you just need his phone number. You have two options, depending on what you want to share with the app:
- Connect all your contact list, then manually select the people you want to block.
- Don't share anything, and Add the contact manually by entering the number directly in the designated tab.
The main advantage: the person who is blocked does not receive no notification and will never know that you've blocked her. Your profiles will simply stop appearing to each other. This method works the same way to avoid seeing colleagues, friends, or a neighbor.
Block someone manually, without sharing your entire contact list
Don't want to give access to your entire contact list? You can Add a contact manually via Block Contacts without syncing your phone. When it's time to choose which users to block, here's what to do:
- Press the’+ icon at the top of the screen.
- Enter the phone number of the person or their name.
- Valid with Finish to confirm.
The blocked profile won't be able to see you anymore, and you won't see them in your suggestions. This is the perfect way to avoid seeing just one person without having to unfriend everyone else. If you're looking for other apps, check out the alternatives to Tinder available.
