Yes, one person at a time. To hide your Feeld profile from one specific person, you block that profile. Hide profile, Incognito and pausing hide you from larger groups, but none of them is built to say "everyone except these three friends." Pick by who you are trying to avoid.
Blocking hides you from one person
If a friend, coworker or relative is on Feeld and you do not want them to see you, find their profile and block it. Blocking is the tool for a named person.
It works best when you know exactly who you are worried about. It does not help with the friend you have not seen yet, or the one who joins next month.
Hide profile removes you from Discover
Hide profile removes you from Discover for everyone who is not already your connection. It also makes your profile inaccessible through direct profile links.
That covers the strangers and the friends you do not know are there. The cost is that you also stop seeing anyone in Discover, so you are not browsing while hidden. Your existing connections can still see your profile and keep chatting with you.
Use it when you want out of sight but not out of the app.
Incognito lets you keep browsing
Incognito is a Majestic feature. It keeps you out of other members' Discover unless you like or Ping them first, while you can still browse Discover yourself.
That makes it the better choice for a man who wants to look around without being seen. The person you like or Ping first can see you, so choose who gets that first look.
Feeld says a previous version of Incognito used Facebook to decide who could see you. Being linked to Facebook no longer affects how Incognito works. If an old forum post told you to connect or disconnect Facebook to hide from friends, it is out of date.
Feeld's help center also says it can take a short time after turning on Incognito for your profile to be removed from everyone's Discover feed. Do not assume it has worked the second you tap the switch.
Pausing hides you from everyone
Pausing your account is the option that hides you from both Discover and your connections. Nobody sees your profile, and the people you are connected with cannot message you.
It is the blunt tool, and the right one for a real break. It is too much for a man who only wants to avoid his sister-in-law.
Which one to pick
For one known person you want to avoid, block that profile. If you want out of Discover but want to keep your chats, use Hide profile. If you want to browse without being seen first, use Incognito, which is a Majestic feature. If you want to disappear from everyone for a while, pause your account.
What no setting does
No setting can promise that nobody you know will ever see you. Someone you are already connected with can still see you under Hide profile. A friend who sees you in Discover before you switched anything on has already seen you. And a screenshot from a member you like or Ping first is outside Feeld's control.
If seeing a particular friend there would genuinely matter, block that person early and keep your profile something you would be fine with them reading.
Write the profile you would stand behind
This is the part most men skip. If your profile is honest and put together, a friend finding it is a small, awkward moment. If it is full of lines you would hate your cousin to read, no privacy setting will save you.
Choose photos that look like you on a good day, and say plainly what you are looking for. A profile written to be read by strangers and survive being read by friends is both safer and more attractive. Women respond to a man who sounds like himself, and you spend less energy worrying about who might see.
The short version
Block a specific person. Use Hide profile to leave Discover for everyone who is not already your connection. Use Incognito to browse unseen unless you like or Ping first. Pause your account to disappear from both Discover and your connections. Facebook no longer plays a part, and Incognito can take a short time to work.
