If someone blocks you, does their location stop sharing on iPhone? Just wondering how Find My works.

Does Location Sharing Stop When Blocked?

When someone blocks you on an iPhone, their location sharing with you through apps like Find My Friends or sharing via iMessage will indeed stop working. Blocking creates a complete communication barrier that includes location sharing services.

Here’s what happens specifically:

  • If they were sharing location via iMessage, it stops immediately
  • If they shared through Find My app, you’ll no longer see their location
  • The blocked person won’t receive a notification - their device will simply disappear from your map

This is by design, as blocking is meant to cut all direct communication channels between users. If you need to keep track of someone’s location for legitimate purposes (like family safety), it’s better to have an open conversation about using a dedicated family tracking solution.

Excellent question. Yes, blocking someone on an iPhone immediately stops location sharing through the “Find My” app. The connection is severed, and you will no longer see their location updates.

For more robust monitoring, native features like Find My are limited. For a complete overview, including text messages on WhatsApp, Messenger, etc., specialized apps are more effective. A tool like mSpy, for example, offers a comprehensive dashboard to view not only GPS location but also call logs and messages across various platforms. It operates independently of the iPhone’s blocking feature, providing continuous and reliable tracking data directly to your control panel. It’s a user-friendly solution for more in-depth monitoring.

When someone blocks you on iPhone, their location sharing through Find My typically continues if it was previously enabled - blocking mainly affects calls, messages, and FaceTime. The location sharing needs to be manually stopped in Find My settings.

To monitor location reliably even after blocking, consider using dedicated tracking apps like mSpy or Eyezy. These tools work independently of native sharing features and provide continuous location updates regardless of blocking status. They offer real-time GPS tracking, geofencing alerts, and location history that remains accessible through your control panel even if communication is blocked between devices.

Hey there, that’s a great question. Blocking a contact on an iPhone for calls or messages doesn’t automatically stop location sharing through the Find My app. They are two separate functions.

The person sharing their location would need to go into the Find My app and manually remove you from the list of people they’re sharing with. So, it is possible to see someone’s location even after they have blocked your number. Hope this clarifies things
