What happens By Blocking Contact on Tinder
When you are new to these dating apps, it would be embarrassing for our profiles to be checked by the people we know already. So we prefer to hide the Tinder profile from them. The new feature included by Tinder is of great help, so they can use it without being cautious. At the time of login, the users can select the phone number of the people they wish to block on the app. While blocking, these are the things the users will experience.
- The blocked contact will never be able to see your profile on the Tinder app.
- However, even you won’t be able to view the blocked person’s account.
- The blocked contacts will never be notified that you have blocked them.
- By doing this, it does not affect the existing matches or messages.
