How to block and report someone

Block a person, manage blocked accounts, or report a user or group on HiYou.

Blocking and reporting are separate actions. Reporting does not automatically block the person. Button names below match the English interface.

Block someone

  1. Open the one-to-one conversation.
  2. Tap the person's name in the chat header to open their details.
  3. Scroll down and tap Block followed by the person's name.
  4. Tap Block in the confirmation.

To undo this, open the same details, tap Unblock followed by the person's name, then confirm Unblock.

You can also manage blocks from Settings > Privacy > Blocked Accounts. Tap the add-person button to block a contact, or tap Unblock beside an account you previously blocked.

Report someone

  1. Open the conversation and tap the person's name in the chat header.
  2. Scroll down and tap Report followed by the person's name.
  3. Add a reason if you want, then tap Report to submit.

Your report sends who you're reporting and your reason for review - not your message history. The other person is not notified.

Report a group

  1. Open the group chat and tap the group name at the top.
  2. Scroll down and tap Report group.
  3. Add a reason if you want, then tap Report to submit.

Reporting a group does not make you leave it. Official broadcast channels do not show the report action. If an error appears, the report may not have been submitted; try again when you have a connection.

If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency service.
