How do I report someone?

In the unfortunate situation that you experience abusive behaviour on our app, we want to make you feel safe and secure as quickly as possible. You are only able to chat with someone once you match with them, reducing the risk of unsolicited messages. You can then choose to block a user after you have matched by clicking inside the chat with the user. You then select the three vertical dots on the top right-hand corner. From there, you can choose to un-match from the user and report. They will not be notified of this and will not be able to contact you any further

How do you reduce catfishes?

blixr has a feature to verify daters by having them take a picture doing a certain motion to prove it is them, which is then analysed manually verified by the team. The app then adds a check mark to the profile to show potential matches that they are real people. It is to prevent internet bots and people from catfishing others. Additionally, matches expire after ten days unless a date is set up - combating catfishers who thrive on time to lock interest and do everything to avoid a meeting. This creates a healthy online environment.
