In this article, we will walk you through a step-by-step process to block someone on Tinder before matching so they don't see your profile on the app.

Block someone on Tinder before matching to prevent them from finding your profile

For starters, your friends, family, or other people you know can often stumble upon your dating profile on Tinder. This can make things embarrassing and you would always prefer to hide your Tinder profile from them.

This is where the new feature comes in. You can now choose to download your contact list and select which contacts you want to block or don't want to see on the app. This will help you avoid meeting friends, relatives, and coworkers on Tinder.

What happens when you block someone's contact number on Tinder?

• The blocked contact will not be able to see your dating profile on their Tinder app.
• Likewise, you will not come across their profile on your Tinder app.
• Blocked contacts will not be notified that you have blocked them.

3. Now grant the required permission to import your contacts.

5. When you're done, tap Block contacts.

You can unblock contacts by going to the Blocked tab. Using the three-dot menu, you can also block and unblock all contacts in your phonebook with just one click.
