Friend Blacklist

The blacklist friend feature is a protection mechanism for managing social relationships, allowing you to add specific contacts to the blacklist to restrict their interaction and interference with you. After blacklisting, the other party will not be able to send you messages, initiate calls, or perform other active interactions, while you can still control whether to restore the friend relationship. This feature is suitable for handling harassment, privacy protection, or temporary isolation scenarios.

Blacklist Operation Instructions

1. Enter the chat window with the other party, click "More" in the upper right corner to enter their profile page;
2. Click "More Chat Settings";
3. Find "Add to Blacklist", turn on the switch and confirm.

FAQ

1. After blacklisting, can the other party still see our previous chat history?

Yes. Blacklisting only deletes your local chat history. The records on the other party's device are still retained.

2. After blacklisting, can the other party re-add me through search?

No. After you blacklist the other party, when they enter your profile page, it still shows you as friends with no "Add Friend" button. Even if the other party deletes you as a friend and searches to add again, it will prompt that you have rejected their friend request.
