Connections
Connections are Aria's way of linking people who know each other.
How connections work
Connections on Aria are mutual only. Both people must accept the connection for it to be established. There are no one-way follows — if you're connected, it goes both ways.
Connecting with someone
- Find a person via Search or in a room
- Tap their avatar to view their profile
- Tap Connect
- They'll receive a connection request notification
- Once they accept, you're connected
What connections unlock
- Direct Messages — You can DM your connections
- Invites — Invite connections to Private Rooms
- Activity — See when connections are live on the Discover feed
- Discovery — Rooms and sessions with your connections are highlighted
Removing a connection
Go to the person's profile and tap Disconnect. This removes the connection for both of you.
Blocking
If you need to block someone:
- Go to their profile
- Tap Block
Blocked users cannot see your profile, send you messages, or join Private Rooms you create. Blocking also removes any existing connection.
