Blocking

If a user is making you uncomfortable or you for any reason don't wish to interact with them anymore, you can block them.

How to block someone​

Blocking a user on Nightlight is simple and straightforward. There are two ways to block someone:

  • Through the user's profile
  1. Go on problematic user's profile
