Blocking and Privacy

Blocking & Privacy

Blocking

When you block a peer:

• The local server drops their TCP connections immediately, before handshake.
• No acknowledgements are sent, so the sender cannot see “Delivered”.
• You won’t get notifications or messages from blocked peers.

Unblock anytime from the chat’s ⋮ menu.

Sanitized Notifications

Incoming message notifications only include the sender name (no message preview), reducing the chance of sensitive content appearing on the lock screen.

Renames (Session-only)

Chat/peer names you set are not persisted. They reset after the app is closed, avoiding long-term storage of labels.
