A user will not be notified that the blocked user sent a message.

A user's channel list will not be updated and rearranged from the blocked user's messages.

1-to-N (group chat)

All the messages from blocked users are delivered to the channel. You can choose whether or not a user can view which users they have blocked in the UI of the channel.

Messages sent from blocked users will be notified to a user.

A user's channel list will be updated and rearranged from a blocked user's messages.
