Can inReach Contacts Be Blocked?
Care should be taken when initiating a conversation with an inReach® satellite communicator. Once a conversation has been started, inbound messages can only be blocked if you are using the Garmin Messenger™ app with a compatible inReach device.
If your inReach communicator is not compatible with the Garmin Messenger app, there is no way to block inbound messages once a conversation is established. For these devices, providing someone with your MapShare™ page is the best option to be able to end that association later. Your MapShare page settings can be adjusted to set a password for the page and/or change the page address if needed. For more details and instructions, see Related .
Garmin Messenger App Users
There may be instances when a conversation has been started within the Garmin Messenger app between you and another contact that you wish to no longer communicate with. The Garmin Messenger app offers the ability to block incoming messages after there has been at least one incoming message from the sender you wish to block.
NOTE: Blocking a sender will only block future incoming messages after the first message has been initiated within the Garmin Messenger app.
