How to add or remove

  1. It is not possible to call any particular person using the call function via the instant messenger.
  2. User does not read your posts. That is, they do not reach it, which is indicated by one tick next to your message. If there are two, then you this subscriber is not included in the black list.
  3. You can not see that the client has changed his picture: you will always be old.
