Manage who can interact with you​

Nightlight should be a place where everyone feels comfortable being and posting on. That's why you are in control when it comes to managing who gets to interact with you.

Messages​

Being able to message someone is great, but sometimes you want to limit certain things. By visiting the privacy settings on Nightlight, you can manage the following:

  • Who can message you
  • This does not affect existing conversations
  • Who can send you media in messages
  • Who can add you to group chats

You can either make the options above available to anyone or no one, you are in control.

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.
