How do I block someone in chat?
Use the block or mute control available beside a profile or conversation, then report serious misconduct and leave if you still feel unsafe.
Use the tools attached to the person or conversation
To block someone, open the options associated with their nickname, profile, or private conversation. Look for a control labelled Block, Mute, or similar, then confirm if the room asks you to. The exact placement can change because the live chatroom interface may differ by device or receive updates.
If you cannot find the control, close the private conversation, leave the room, or use the available report option. You can also visit the contact page for general support. Do not continue an upsetting exchange merely to locate a button.
Blocking and reporting serve different purposes
Blocking is mainly a personal boundary. It may stop or hide direct contact for your session or account, depending on the room's current tools. Reporting alerts moderators to conduct that may affect you or other people. Use both when someone threatens you, repeatedly harasses you, sends scams, impersonates another person, or shares prohibited material.
The reporting abuse FAQ explains what information is useful. Note the nickname, room, approximate time, and a short factual description. Save a screenshot only when it is safe and lawful, and never repost harmful content publicly to prove a point.
Do not assume a block creates privacy
A block does not erase information you already posted. In a shared room, other participants may still see, copy, or screenshot public messages. The blocked person may also remain present in the room, depending on how the feature works. Avoid announcing personal details before or after blocking, and do not challenge the person through another account.
For practical identity protection, read how to stay private and the site's privacy policy. Keep your phone number, address, workplace, school, login codes, and financial details out of chat. If someone already has sensitive information, change exposed passwords and contact the relevant provider promptly.
Put safety ahead of the conversation
You do not owe anyone a final explanation. If the situation feels unsafe, stop replying and leave. Review the safety page for next steps, including what to do about scams and pressure. If there is an immediate credible threat to you or another person, contact the appropriate local emergency service. A platform report is not an emergency response.
Free Pakistani Chat is completely free for guests and registered users. No user should ask you for payment to block an account, unlock protection, or keep chatting. Treat such claims as suspicious and do not send money.
Blocking should not be used to continue a feud from a different nickname. Set the boundary, document serious behaviour, and move on. Everyone using the room must follow the community guidelines, while the guides on toxic users and uncomfortable situations offer more detailed support.
