Overview

ID based Black/White list is an effective filter for messenger ID's. You can either use the black list or the white list. Only ID's in the white list are allowed to use when white list is enabled. Enable black list means allow all ID's except those listed in the black list.

To make blocking work, you can change an existing blocking level or add a new one. Here we start this example from adding a new blocking level.

1 Add A New Blocking Level

As in Figure 1, add a new blocking level named "Blocking chat".
