KollabiuMTo block someone, go to "Contacts", tap the three dots next to the person, and choose "Block". If you don't want to cut ties completely, there's a gentler tool, restrictions: the person stays in your contacts but can't see what you've turned off for them.
How to restrict someone without blocking?
Restrictions work well when you don't want to cut ties completely. For example, a coworker doesn't necessarily need to see stories from your family vacation.
Open the person's profile → three dots → "Change restrictions". Or, in "Contacts", tap the three dots next to the person → "Privacy settings". Then turn off whatever you don't want them to have:
- "Can see my posts";
- "Can see my stories";
- "Can comment";
- "Can write me messages";
- "Can see my friends list";
- "Can see my contact data".
Everything else stays the same: your friendship, follows, and access to anything you haven't turned off.
What happens when you block someone
Blocking is for when someone is unpleasant or won't leave you alone.
In "Contacts", tap the three dots next to the person → "Block". Once you block someone:
- your friendship and follows are removed, in both directions;
- any friend requests between you are deleted;
- you stop seeing each other's posts and stories;
- they can no longer message you.
If you unblock someone, your friendship and follows won't come back automatically. If you'd like, follow them or send a friend request again.
How to unblock someone or lift restrictions?
- "Contacts" → the "Restricted" tab: people you've restricted in some way and people you've blocked. You can lift restrictions or unblock people from here.
- "Settings" → "Restrictions": things you've hidden from your feed, meaning posts you marked "Not interested" and authors you marked "Not interested in this author". You can bring them back from here.
