Blocking the chat of Toxic players

How to Block and Manage Toxic Players in Chat

Dealing with toxic players can be frustrating. Here are the tools available to help.

Ignore — blocks a player's chat from appearing for you.
Tap the player's name, select "Ignore", then choose "Add". To unblock, repeat and select "Remove". Ignored players show a red icon next to their name in the lobby and appear at the bottom of the player list.

Dislike — prevents a player from joining games you host.
Tap the player's name, then select "Dislike". This only affects games where you are the host.

Lobby Report — for seriously abusive behavior (harassment, slurs, etc.).
From the in-game menu, select "Lobby" then "Report". This helps create a safe experience for all players.

Remember, you don't have to put up with toxic behavior — these tools are here to help.
