Deprecated block modes
The following tables describe how the deprecated block modes work. They are only supported for customers who have been using it since before.
How explicit mode works:
| Group channel | Messages | Push notification | Channel list |
|---|---|---|---|
1-to-1 | New messages from the blocked user will not be delivered to the channel, and an error for sending the message returned to a user. The blocked user is aware of their blocked status. | A user will not be notified that the blocked user sent a message. | A user's channel list will not be updated and rearranged from the blocked user's messages. |
1-to-N (group chat) | All the messages from blocked users are delivered to the channel. You can choose whether or not a user can view which users they have blocked in the UI of the channel. | Messages sent from blocked users will be notified to a user. | A user's channel list will be updated and rearranged from a blocked user's messages. |
How classic mode works:
| Group channel | Messages | Push notification | Channel list |
|---|---|---|---|
1-to-1 | New messages sent from the blocked user will not be delivered to the channel, but are saved and displayed to the blocked user's channel view. A blocked user is not aware of their blocked status. | A user will not be notified that the blocked user sent a message. | A user's channel list will not be updated and rearranged from the blocked user's messages. |
1-to-N (group chat) | All the messages sent from blocked users are delivered to the channel. A user can't see all messages that blocked users have sent so far. | Messages sent from blocked users will not be notified to a user. | A user's channel list will not be updated and rearranged from a blocked user's messages. |
