How to Block or Report Someone?
By blocking someone, you can stop receiving messages and calls from them. If you find their messages inappropriate or spammy, you can also report them.
After blocking, the existing conversation will remain in your conversation list. You can delete it if you prefer. Additionally, you can unblock the person anytime to resume receiving their messages.
Please note, you cannot directly block groups, but you can leave the group and block the group administrator instead.

How can I tell if someone has blocked me?

What happens if I am reported?
If multiple users report your account, you won’t be able to receive messages from strangers. Communication between mutual contacts won’t be affected.
