Controlling who sees your profile and photos

Need to Take a Break for a bit? Or need to block someone from messaging you? Although you're free to adjust your profile visibility whenever you'd like, we currently don't offer a feature that allows you to hide or make your profile visible to specific members only. Here are some other options:

Blocking/Unblocking

If you find yourself the focus of some very unwanted attention, you can block that person from messaging you in the future. (Keep it mind that it won't prevent you from seeing the member in searches or on the site, but you won't receive any future messages.)

1. Access the last message the member sent you.
2. From the menu, select Block This Person.

If you have a change of heart, or you think they may have had a change of personality, you can always unblock them. Head over to Edit Profile > Settings or use this link and view your list of blocked profiles. Select the person and unblock them to welcome them back into your life.

*Please note, you can only unblock from a desktop computer!

Take a Break

This feature allows you to keep your profile paused without having to delete it. See here for instructions on how to Take a Break.

When I Take a Break can others see my profile?

Recently updated your profile visibility to hidden? Not sure if others can see your profile?

When you Take a Break your profile is no longer visible on the site, will no longer appear in search results, and will not be accessible to previous connections on the site.

However, if you previously communicated with another member, they will be able to reply to your messages but they will be unable to find you via any search.
