How Can You Block Someone On Cash App?
There are three simple steps to follow if you want to block someone on Cash App. You need to be logged into the app before you begin.
- Go to the Cash App home screen and tap on the Activity tab.
- On the activity feed, tap the name of the person that you want to block.
- When their profile loads, scroll to the bottom and press the block button.
If the profile of the person you want to block does not show up in your activity, then you can search for their name and access their profile from the search results.
The person will now be blocked and unable to contact you on the app. You will not show up in the results if they try to search for your name.
What Happens When You Block Someone On Cash App?
When you block someone you will no longer be able to receive any payment requests from them. You also will not be able to send them any money. You will still be able to see their name in your activity feed, but this is needed if you ever want to unblock them.
Will The Other Person Know That You Have Blocked Them?
The person that you have blocked will not get a specific notification that tells them they have been blocked. However, your profile will no longer be showing in their activity feed, so they may realize what has happened.
If you have blocked someone that you know personally, then you may have to be prepared for them to question if they have been blocked.
Some people have reportedly got around this by claiming that they just no longer use the app and have closed their account.
How Can You Turn Off All Money Requests?
If you would prefer to stop receiving money requests at all without having to block individual people, this is also something that can be done. You can then choose who you want to send money to as outgoing payments are not affected.
Turning off requests can be done from the app and you need to go onto your own profile and then complete the following steps.
- Click on the Privacy & Security section.
- Scroll down until you find Incoming Requests
- If it is toggled on you can choose to receive requests from anyone or just from your contacts.
- If you do not want to receive any requests at all then you can press on the toggle switch so that it is off.
If it is just stopping requests from people you don’t know that you want to do, then being able to select requests from contacts only is a useful feature. By adding someone as a contact in the app, you are basically giving them permission to send you a money request.
If you change your mind at a later date you can either turn all requests off or just block that individual.
