How to Block Someone on GROWLr

If you want to get rid of a friend on GROWLr and the entire conversation you had with the person, here is what you have to block friends on GROWLr:

1. Log in to your GROWLr account.

2. Navigate to the person you would like to block.

3. Click on the profile of the person.

4. Tap on the 3 dots in the upper right corner if you’re using the app.

5. Choose “block”.

6. Confirm that you want to block the person.

Once you tap on it, that person will be blocked from your GROWLr friend list and your entire conversation with the person will also disappear. You will also disappear from the user’s friend list and the user won’t be able to check the conversation both of you had.

Keep in mind that once you block someone, you can’t continue interacting with the person and you can’t check out the profile anymore.

How to Block All Your GROWLr friends

When you want to get rid of all GROWLr friends, you have basically two options.

If you want to keep using GROWLr with your current account then unfortunately there is no feature or technique that makes the process of blocking all your GROWLr friends at once really easy and straightforward. In this case, you have to block all of your friends manually, following the steps we have outlined above.

If you don’t want to use GROWLr anymore, you can simply just delete your GROWLr account and whether you want to reset your account or not, all of your friends will be deleted.

Your friends will still be able to open the conversation you had with them, but they will only see your first name in the conversation, they can’t open your profile, and your profile picture will also get deleted. A label next to your name on the top of the conversation screen will say “blocked”.

How to See Who Blocked You on GROWLr

When someone blocks you, you won’t receive a notification about it.

Here’s what happens when you’re blocked:

You don’t see the person’s activities.
You won’t receive notifications regarding their account.
You don’t like or reply to a conversation with that person.

If you suspect you’ve been blocked on GROWLr, the bad news is the platform doesn’t offer insight into who did it and when. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way to find out who blocked you.

Namely, you can check who blocked you on GROWLr manually. It might take some time to complete the process, but you can check it in a few seconds if you have a specific user.

Follow the steps below to establish whether someone blocked you on GROWLr:

1. Visit the GROWLr website or launch the mobile app.

2. Search for the person in question.

If you see their profile, it means you’re not blocked. If you see “You’re blocked. You can’t connect or react to the users’ activities,“ it means they’ve blocked you.

Although some may consider not receiving a notification about being blocked unfortunate, GROWLr has sound reasoning behind this decision. Namely, the whole purpose of blocking someone is to avoid unwanted or unnecessary interactions. GROWLr respects its users’ privacy, which is why it doesn’t provide any information regarding people who blocked you. The same goes for when you block someone.

How to Delete GROWLr Chat/Messages

If you want to get rid of the conversation that you had with one of your GROWLr friends, you have to do the same things as we have described above to block someone. Once you delete a friend on GROWLr, the conversation you had with the user will be also deleted permanently.

How to Delete Single GROWLr Message

But what if you only want to delete a single message you have sent on GROWLr? Is it possible to delete only a single embarrassing message or a message with a typo error or an awkward picture or a message that your friends sent? So your option is to delete the entire conversation you had with the person by blocking or deleting your GROWLr account.

What to Do if You Mistakenly Block Someone On GROWLr

If you have accidentally blocked someone you don’t really have a feature or technique that will help you get your GROWLr friends back but you still have some ways you can get your connections back.

If you still want to connect with someone you blocked on GROWLr and the person who blocked you, you can try and reset your account which means you block them right after restarting your account. In this case, as all of your friends and previous swipes will be reset, you have the chance to meet again with the blocked profile again.

If you don’t want GROWLr friends, you can also just hope that this site will resurface the blocked profile after a certain period of time. You have a better chance of this if you live in a small neighborhood.

Difference Between Reporting and Blocking GROWLr Someone

When you think that someone made you uncomfortable or was threatening or abusive towards you, you can also report the user on GROWLr

Reporting someone is different than just simply deleting a friend, as in this case, you also ask the GROWLr Support team to review the profile you reported. When someone gets reported multiple times in a short period of time, there is a higher chance that the profile will get blocked.

When you report someone on GROWLr, the person and the conversation you had with them will be deleted the same way as they would if you blocked them.

How to Know if Someone Blocked You On GROWLr

There are multiple reasons why one of your friends can disappear from your friend list. Here are how you can be sure that you have been blocked or reported on GROWLr.

GROWLr friends can also disappear when the person has been banned or has deleted the account permanently. In this case, you will still be able to open the conversation with the person, but you won’t be able to message the user and check the profile. The user’s profile picture will also be deleted and in the conversation, there will be a label saying “Deleted Member”.

However, when you have been blocked or reported and blocked from GROWLr by another user then you can be sure that the entire conversation you had with that person has been deleted as well, so you have no way to check the user’s profile. In this case, you can be sure it was a deliberate block from the member.

How to Avoid Getting Blocked From GROWLr

Before concluding this post, I would like to share some general advice about using GROWLr in a way that will make sure that you will get blocked infrequently.

It is also important to keep the number of friends you block low, as users can also report you when they block you. And when you get a lot of users reporting you, you might get your account banned pretty quickly from GROWLr. Once you are blocked from there is no way to get back except to reset your account which is not that simple.

You should read or at least go through GROWLr’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Service to learn what behaviors are considered to be violations of guidelines and can lead to the GROWLr Support team blocking your account.

You have to be extremely careful when your account is new. As GROWLr takes these community guidelines very seriously and you might get easily reported and then blocked if your activities are suspicious.

At the same time, getting blocked on GROWLr is not the worst thing in the world. It might actually be a good thing.

Let’s say that the person you are friends with is using GROWLr just simply because of the features. What if the user is looking for someone to scam or the person is just using the app to have meaningless conversations and wants to understand how people react to the app? In this case, I would be pleased if someone like this would simply block you on and not waste our precious time.

GROWLr is one of the most popular online social media platforms where you can meet different sets of people. There are many users who would love to have a conversation with you and meet up with you. Just because some people are blocked for any kind of reason, shouldn’t be any of your concern. Just keep swiping.

Can You Find Someone You Blocked on GROWLr?

Yes, you can even if you blocked someone it is possible that the person will appear in your suggestion deck later and you can connect with the person again.

Some users might be blocked on GROWLr for some reason. Once you exchange numbers or social accounts on GROWLr, it may not make sense to keep messaging on the platform. It is possible that the user blocked you for this reason. You might still message each other outside of GROWLr.

What really happens when you block someone on GROWLr is that all your previous messages will be deleted from your account and from the person’s account you blocked.
