This wikiHow teaches you how to report a Skype user for harassment, spam, or other inappropriate behavior when you’re using an Android.
Steps
-
1Open Skype. It’s the blue and white icon with a large “S” at the center. You’ll typically find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.
-
2Tap a conversation with the user you want to block. There are two ways to do this:
- Scroll down and tap a message from the person you want to block.
- Tap the address book icon at the top-right corner of the screen, then tap the person you want to block. You’ll only find the person in the address book if you’ve added them as a contact.
