There are plenty of reasons why seeing a former flame in your Tinder feed isn't exactly a desirable situation — maybe they broke your heart, or perhaps you broke theirs. Or it could be just that you'd like to swipe away with abandon without the worry of seeing the face of someone you'd rather cross the street to avoid.
Regardless of your reasons, there is a way to make things a little easier on yourself while you put yourself out there in the online dating world. Tinder recently introduced a new feature that allows you to block contacts using their mobile numbers to prevent that individual from showing up in your stack of swiping contenders. If you'd like to know how to remove your ex from your entire digital life (we've all been there), here's a great how-to guide by Mashable's Anna Iovine.

So, how do you use the Block Contacts feature?
Total Time- 5 minutes
- Tinder account
Step 1:Go to your settlings in the Tinder app.
Scroll down until you see the "Block contacts" option.
Step 2:Next, you'll be asked if you'd like to grant Tinder access to your contacts.
Click "OK".
Step 3:Select the contact you'd like to prevent from showing up as a potential match.
You can also press the + button to manually add a number you'd like to block.
It's worth noting that the person doesn't need to be currently on Tinder for them to be blocked. It can prevent a future possibility of them appearing in your pile of possible matches if that person ever decides to download Tinder.
