52 == Block a user ==
53
54 When you block a user, they will not be able to create a 1:1 chat with you, or write messages to any existing 1:1 chats. If you are participating in a group chat with a blocked user, their messages will not be displayed to you.
55
56 To block a user, open their profile and tap **Block user.** Their profile will show a button to **Unblock user,** if you have already blocked them. Thus you will be able to revoke a block. Alternatively, open the list of all blocked contacts via [[Profile > Privacy>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Settings.WebHome||anchor="05-privacy"]] and unblock them there.

66 = Groups =
67
68 In Teamwire, groups are meant for creating new chats more quickly and easily with predefined groups of people (similar to a mailing list). Meaning, you can create multiple chats with the same group(s) based on different topics or projects.
69
70 Teamwire classifies two types of groups
71
72 * User Groups (//Your groups//)
73 * Organisation Groups (//Managed groups//)
74
75 Groups can be selected as participants during the creation of a chat, but can also be added later to any conversation.

80 == User Groups (Your groups) ==
81
82 These groups are created by you (see [[Create group>>doc:||anchor="03-createagroup"]]) and can only be used by yourself. The users will not be aware of their membership of your group until you have added the group to a chat. Only then they will be able to find the group via [[Chat Settings > Members>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Chats-and-Messaging.WebHome||anchor="02-members"]]. The users will be able to permanently leave your User Group by leaving the chat.
83
84 Your User Groups are synchronised to all devices you have logged your Teamwire account into.

127 == Organisation Groups (Managed groups) ==
128
129 These groups are created by your Teamwire administrator and cannot be modified. Use these groups to create a chat or to add members to an existing conversation at a later time.
130
131 Organisation Groups usually have names you can easily associate to a group of people, e.g. departments or teams.
132

140 The user accounts of your colleagues or new Organisation Groups are synchronised to your app automatically. However, if you are missing any users or groups in your list of contacts, you can fetch the latest data manually via **Update Contacts and Groups.**
141
142 If the desired users do not appear despite a manual update, please contact your administrator. It is possible that server settings or policies have been applied which will limit the synchronisation of your contacts.
