Open her page and tap Hide or Report, or tap the three dots in your chat, then choose Report & unmatch, confirm, and pick a reason or write your own. Reports are anonymous. Once you report someone, you can no longer see or message that person.

The steps

There are two routes, and both finish in the same place.

From her page:

  1. Open her profile.
  2. Tap Hide or Report.
  3. Choose Report & unmatch.
  4. Confirm, then pick a reason or write your own.

From your chat:

  1. Open the chat.
  2. Tap the three dots.
  3. Choose Report & unmatch.
  4. Confirm, then pick a reason or write your own.

What happens after you report

Your report is anonymous, so the person you reported is not told it came from you.

Reporting also unmatches you. You can no longer see that person or message them. If there is anything in the chat you might need later, such as a request for money or a threat, take a screenshot before you tap the button.

When to report and when to just hide

The same menu offers Hide & unmatch, and most endings belong there. Losing interest, a conversation that fizzled, or simply not being attracted to someone are reasons to hide, not to report.

Report when someone breaks the rules or puts people at risk. Common examples:

  • The photos are clearly of someone else, like a model or a celebrity.
  • She asks you for money, gift cards, or help with a payment.
  • She pushes you toward a link, an investment, or another site almost at once.
  • She harasses, threatens, or insults you.
  • Anything suggests the person is under age.

Signs of a fake account

a dating coach lists the catfish problem and bots among the frustrations every man on the apps runs into. A few signs are worth knowing:

  • Every photo looks like it came from a professional shoot, and there is nothing casual at all.
  • Replies ignore what you actually said.
  • There is a rush to move the conversation off the app.
  • A sad story builds toward a request for money.

One sign on its own proves little. Several together are worth a report.

The mistake here is staying in the conversation to see how far it goes. Men convince themselves they can spot the moment it turns into a scam and pull out in time, and that curiosity costs hours that could go toward women who are actually real. If two or three of the signs above show up together, report and move on. Nothing about the account changes once you know what it actually is.

Writing a reason that helps

You can pick a reason from the list or write your own. If you write one, keep it short and factual: what happened, and where it happened. "Asked me to send money for a plane ticket in our chat" is far more useful than "scammer."

Stick to what you saw. Facts are something a reviewer can act on. Opinions about the person are much harder to use.

Reports carry real weight with the algorithm

Reporting is a serious tool, so use it honestly. coach points out that dating apps treat reports as a strong signal. An account that gets reported picks up negative marks and gets shown less, because the app needs its users, and women above all, to feel safe and keep coming back.

That is exactly why a report works against a scammer. It is also why a false report is unfair. Reporting a woman because she turned you down, or because a date went badly in an ordinary way, can cost her visibility she did nothing to lose.

The same logic applies to you. Give nobody a reason to report you: no crude openers, no angry replies to a no, and no pushing after she says she is not interested. Men who are easy to deal with rarely have to think about reports at all.
