Hi Shruti,

you should modify this function:

https://github.com/chat21/chat21-cloud-functions/blob/9173f3261678963fff54d9bfcde68a1e332f90c5/functions/chat-api.js#L957

The right way is to create a "blocked users database" (out of chat21, using for example mongodb or some other RDMS) of users blocked by users (User A blocked: B, C, D).

In the function, on the very first line check your "blocked users database" to see if sender_id can write to recipient_id. If yes just execute the normal function's instructions flow, otherwise simply "return", without executing any code.
