For all Remind users.

Blocking someone should be used in cases where you can't disable replies in the conversation and need to prevent someone from contacting you directly.

How to block someone

You can block someone and still allow them to receive announcements if they are in your class. This will prevent both of you from sending individual messages to each other and disable all conversations between you and the user.

Note: Blocking someone does not prevent the individual from joining your class. If you need to prevent someone from joining a class please reach out to our team via rmd.me/help!

To block someone:

  1. Log in to Remind.com on your computer.
  2. Select the School or Class that the individual is in.
  3. Click the People tab at the top of the dashboard.
  4. Click on the name of the individual you would like to block.Select_name_on_ppl_list.png
