Tinder is a platform that hinges upon creating a virtual connection before a physical one. While there’s only so much you can learn about someone before meeting them in person, red flags are usually pretty blatant. There’s a level of lenience you can have for cheesy pick-up lines and goofy conversation topics, but if you’re genuinely concerned about your safety or simply want to cut off contact, you may be wondering whether you can block people on Tinder or not. Let’s talk about that.

Being able to block people is a safety thing. Facebook has it, Instagram has it, and most noteworthy social media platforms, in general, have a way of forcibly preventing someone from interacting with you.
Tinder is a bit different, however. The whole idea behind Tinder is to meet new people and build new relationships — not to take them away. As a result, you cannot block someone you match with or see in your Tinder feed. To inhibit further communication, all you need to do in that situation is “swipe left” or unmatch.
How do you unmatch with somebody on Tinder? Go to your conversation with them. Tap the blue shield in the top right, then select UNMATCH FROM (their name).
How to block a contact on Tinder On Tinder, you can block contacts from your device’s contact list. What this essentially allows you to do is prevent any unwanted attention or interactions. For example, if you don’t want family members or friends to know that you have Tinder, you can block them so that, if they have Tinder, any possible interactions will be halted. They won’t see you, and you won’t see them.
1.) Go to your Tinder profile.
2.) Tap the gear-shaped SETTINGS button.
3.) Go to Block contacts.
4.) Tap IMPORT CONTACTS.
5.) Allow Tinder to access your contact list.
6.) Select the contact(s) you want to block.
7.) Tap the BLOCK [x] CONTACT(S) button.
