Superblock introduces your friend group to another group nearby and pairs the two groups in a timed chat to see if you click. You don’t have to meet people one at a time or carry the conversation by yourself. Your friends are there with you from the start. When one match ends, you move on to another. Each match introduces your group to people you probably wouldn’t have met otherwise. Start a group with friends you already know, or join on your own and match with groups that are open to people joining on their own. You choose how far away to look, whether matches need to be from your school, and who you’re open to meeting. Safety and Privacy Chats are end-to-end encrypted. We can’t read your messages. Usernames and avatars only. Text only. No photo or video uploads. Report anyone who breaks our community guidelines. Hide or block anyone you don’t want to interact with. Superblock Plus Superblock Plus is an optional $4.99/month auto-renewing subscription that gives you access to more groups and matches. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
