Why you'll want it
Blocked means gone
Blocking disconnects you, removes their messages and requests from your phone straight away, and stops them contacting you until you unblock them.
Reported in the same tap
Blocking also reports them if they've sent you anything. You can include the messages you received — your phone decrypts them for the report, because we can't read your messages ourselves.
Leave whenever you like
Delete your account in the app with a code we email you. Your profile, details, connections and messages are deleted, and your connections see that you've gone.
How it works
01Block from the conversation
Open the conversation, tap the menu and choose Block — or Report, which also disconnects you and keeps them away for at least 48 hours.
02Your blocked list
Everyone you've blocked is listed in your account. Unblock someone there if you change your mind.
03Delete your account
Ask for a code by email, then confirm with the code and your password. Once it's done, it can't be undone.
What happens after a report
Reports take effect automatically, straight away. Reports from three different people within 30 days put an account on hold for a month, with no new connections. Three more after that, and the account is banned for good. A report that is dismissed no longer counts.

What's the difference between Report and Block?
Both disconnect you. Report always reports the person; Block reports them if they've sent you anything. Report keeps them from contacting you for 48 hours. Block keeps them away until you unblock them, and removes their messages from your phone.
Can you read the messages I report?
Only if you choose to include them. Your messages are end-to-end encrypted, so your phone decrypts what they sent you and adds it to the report. We delete that copy when the report is dismissed or after 30 days — or, if it led to a ban, 90 days after the ban is final.
What is deleted when I delete my account?
Your profile, your details, your groups, connections, requests and messages, your keys and the apps you signed in to. What remains is an anonymous record without your name, email or share code, documents and contracts you shared with companies, and reports about abuse.
Can I undo deleting my account?
No. You can sign up again with the same email after 7 days, but that starts a brand-new account.
Can I delete my account while I'm a guardian?
Not while you're the guardian of a child's account — end that link first.
