On the PATLO app, I suddenly became unable to view the profile of someone I had gone on a date with. I can still see our past messages, but tapping their icon doesn’t take me to their profile, and the circle showing that they’re online is gray.

I just checked my own profile page and confirmed that it’s possible to send messages from the messaging screen. Profiles becoming unavailable to view is standard behavior, just like with Universe Club.

This is how PATOLO works. You haven’t been blocked. The app also explains how profiles of opposite-sex users who have blocked you or deleted their accounts are hidden. As for hiding users you’ve already gone on a date with, the explanation is as follows: —Quote— Once a date has been completed, the other person’s photo, profile, and login status will be hidden after both parties have submitted feedback, or once 72 hours have passed since the scheduled date and time. A “Date completed” label will appear in your messages, and the “Confirm date” button will disappear, but you can still continue sending and receiving messages.
