Report, block, your data.
Report
You can report messages, chats and profiles in “In der Nähe” (Nearby) with a description and up to five screenshots if you like. A date is reported with a single tap, and it is then cancelled. Our team reviews every report.
Unmatch
You can end a match at any time. The chat then disappears for both of you. This cannot be undone.
Block
Anyone you block in “In der Nähe” (Nearby) no longer sees you in Elody. Under “Blockierte Personen” (blocked people) you can lift each block individually.
Export data
One tap requests a ZIP archive of your stored data and images. At most one export per day, and the download link is valid for 15 minutes.
Delete account
You delete your account right in the app: permanently, including profile, photos, chats and matches. An Apple subscription is not cancelled by this.
