    This three-dot menu icon is in the top right corner of their profile tile.

    It's usually the first option in the menu.

    Your reason is private and will not be shared with the other person.
    • Once you select a reason, you'll see a small "X" animation that shows the remove has been submitted. That person will also not see you and you won't see their profile again. [1]
