Rove exists so people can meet with intention and feel safe doing it. Reporting and blocking are tools you can use the moment something feels off. You don't need to justify using them.
When to Block Someone
Block anyone, at any time, for any reason. You don't owe anyone an explanation. If a conversation isn't serving you, end it.
Common reasons people block:
- The conversation isn't going anywhere
- Something the person said felt off
- You've decided not to continue
- You've met someone else
- Intuition — which is enough on its own
When you block someone:
- The conversation disappears from both sides
- They can't see your profile or send you a new shot
- You won't appear in their discovery
- They aren't notified that you blocked them
When to Report Someone
Reporting is for behavior that violates Rove's standards, not for ending a conversation. Use reporting when you see:
- Harassment, aggression, or threats
- Sexually explicit messages or images you didn't consent to
- Impersonation or a profile that appears fake
- Solicitation — asking for money, promoting another platform, commercial behavior
- Minors — anyone who might be under 18
- Anything illegal
Every report is reviewed by a human on our moderation team, usually within 24 hours. Profiles that violate our standards are removed.
How to Report or Block
From any conversation:
- Tap the profile at the top of the chat
- Scroll to the bottom
- Tap Block or Report
- If reporting, choose the reason and add any context that helps us review
From the discovery feed, tap a profile to open it, then use the same menu.
What Happens After You Report
- Our moderation team reviews within 24 hours, often faster
- If the report is valid, the person is warned, suspended, or removed depending on the severity
- You're automatically protected from that person regardless of the outcome
- We don't share your identity with the person you reported
If you reported something serious — threats, illegal behavior, a minor — we may contact you for additional context. For immediate danger, contact local authorities first.
The Bigger Picture
Rove's safety model has layers. Apple ID verification, photo review, AI chat tone ratings, and the limited interaction count all work together to reduce the surface area where bad behavior can happen. Reporting and blocking are the final layer — you, deciding what you will and won't accept.
Trust your instincts. Use the tools. You don't have to tolerate behavior that doesn't belong on this platform.
