Blocking the chat of Toxic players

How to Block and Manage Toxic Players in Chat

Dealing with toxic players can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience. However, there are tools available to help you manage your interactions with them. In-game, you can use the "Ignore" feature to block a player's chat.

To use the "Ignore" feature, simply tap on the player's name, then select "Ignore" and choose "Add". If you ever want to unblock a player, repeat the process and select "Remove" instead. You will be able to tell if a player is on your ignore list, as they will have a red icon next to their name in the lobby player list and will be listed at the bottom.

If a player is being extremely rude and toxic, it's important to also report them by using the in-game menu, select "lobby" then report. This helps to create a safe and enjoyable experience for all players.

Remember, you don't have to put up with toxic behavior and there are ways to manage it.
