Can You Still See Someone’s Location If They Block You?

Do you want to know if you can still see someone’s location if they have blocked you? Well, we’ve got you covered.

You may have been blocked by someone, or you have blocked someone, and you want to know if you can still see their location, or if they can still see yours.

Let’s get right into this!

If someone blocks you, can you still see their location?

When you block someone or someone blocks you, your location or the other person’s location will still be shared. This is because sharing your location and blocking your phone number are different things. If you want to stop sharing your location, you will need to do it manually.

Now, let’s expand upon this.

When you decide to block someone from contacting you, you are just blocking them from calling you and texting you.

You are not blocking them in another way.

Therefore, you can still see their location and they can still see your location on apps like Find My, Google, and Life360.

So, if you don’t want them to see your location anymore, then you need to stop sharing your location with them.

However, when you block someone on Snapchat, you will stop sharing your location with them.

This is because when you block someone on Snapchat, you unadd them, and you can only share your location with your Snap friends.

So, because you are no longer friends on Snapchat, you can no longer see each other’s location.

We have included the steps in order to stop sharing your location on your iPhone and Snapchat.

How to stop sharing your location on iPhone

If you are sharing your location on your iPhone, then here are the steps to stop sharing it.

There are two ways you can stop sharing your location. You can do it in the Messages app, or on the Find My app as well.

Stop sharing your location on iMessage

Firstly, you need to open the Messages app.

Secondly, you need to find the contact you want to stop sharing your location with.

Once you have found them, you need to tap into the conversation you have with them.

Next, you need to tap on their profile picture or contact picture at the top of your screen.

Then, you should see the option to “Stop Sharing My Location”.

Tap on this button, and this will stop the contact from seeing where you are.

You can now block the contact as well if you would like.

Stop sharing your location on Find My

First of all, you need to open the Find My app.

Secondly, you need to make sure you are on the “People” page.

You can see which page you are on by looking at the bottom navigation bar.

Next, you need to look at the “People” menu. This will list everyone who you share your location with, and everyone who is sharing their location with you as well.

You may need to swipe up on the menu to be able to see it.

Now, you need to find the person you want to stop sharing your location with.

Once you have, you need to place your finger on their name in the list and move your finger from the right-hand side to the left-hand side.

This will reveal a white trash can on a red background.

When you tap on the button, you will stop sharing your location with them, and you won’t be able to see theirs anymore as well.

How to stop sharing your location on Snapchat

There are a few different ways you can stop sharing your location on Snapchat.

You can:

• Block the user which will also stop sharing your location.
• Completely turn off Snap maps.
• Stop them from seeing your location.

We will show you how to block the user, which will also stop sharing your location.

Block the person on Snapchat

Firstly, you need to find the person you want to block on Snapchat.

Secondly, you need to hold your finger on their name, and this will bring up a menu.

Now, you need to tap on “Manage Friendship”.

Then, you will get another list of options.

You need to tap on “Block”.

You will need to confirm your decision to block them by tapping on “Block” again.

So, you have now blocked the user and stopped sharing your location with them.

Turn off Snap maps or remove specific Snap friends

You could completely turn off Snap maps and enable “Ghost Mode”.

But, this means that no one on Snapchat will be able to see your location.

If you want people to know your location, then don’t disable it.

Alternatively, you can hide your location from specific Snap friends as well.

In order to turn off Snap maps or hide your location from specific Snap friends, you need to go to the Snap maps page.

Next, you need to press on the gear icon in the top right, which will open up the “Settings” page.

Then, you can either enable “Ghost Mode”, or tap on “My Friends, Except…” and select the users that you don’t want to see where you are.
