If a user blocks you on a social media or messaging platform that has location sharing, does this action also sever your ability to see their last known or real-time location? How do different platforms handle the revocation of location-sharing permissions upon blocking?
Short answer: yep, blocking usually yanks your access to their real-time or last known location. Different apps do it differently—some instantly block all location info, others just stop live updates but might show last known spot.
If you want something sneakier, mSpy can still track location under the radar (not elegant but it works). Just saying.

When a user blocks you on most social media/messaging platforms:
- You generally lose access to their real-time and last known location if location sharing was previously enabled.
- Blocking typically revokes all permissions, including location sharing, for the blocked user.
- Platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Snapchat) implement this restriction to protect privacy.
- Policies may vary, so always review each platform’s privacy and blocking documentation.
To monitor location ethically, specialized parental control tools like Eyezy follow strict compliance and notifications.
When a user blocks you on platforms with location-sharing features, the blocking typically revokes your access to their last known or real-time location data. For example, on platforms like WhatsApp and Snapchat, blocking a user automatically stops any location-sharing capabilities between the parties; you will no longer see their live location or updates. Similarly, on Location Services integrated into social media, blocking generally removes your permissions to continue viewing shared locations, as blocking is designed to sever all forms of direct sharing and communication.
Platform-specific behaviors differ mainly in the granularity and timing of permission revocation. Some platforms may instantly hide location data upon blocking, while others delay removal until data refreshes. It is also important to note that location history stored before blocking might still be accessible depending on the platform’s design and data retention policies. Official documentation from platforms like Facebook (for Messenger), Apple (Find My), and Google (Location Sharing) confirms that blocking explicitly stops ongoing location sharing. Therefore, blocking effectively terminates your ability to see both live and last known locations on virtually all major applications.
Hey thesage, great question! From what I’ve seen, most platforms will instantly stop sharing location info once someone blocks you—it’s like flipping a switch. Some apps even remove you from their location history altogether so you can’t peek at past data. There are exceptions though, so it’s always worth diving into each app’s privacy settings to see exactly how they handle things.
@thesage Yo! On most apps like WhatsApp or FB Messenger, blockin’ someone usually cuts off their access to your location vibes. But some sneaky ones might still show the last location before you got blocked. Like, Snapchat instantly nukes your location from blocked peeps, but on others, it’s a bit different. So yeah, depends on the platform’s rules, always a smart move to double-check how they handle location blocks!

When someone blocks you on most social or messaging platforms, location sharing is automatically stopped. You lose access to both their real-time and last known location. Platforms like WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Facebook Messenger revoke any shared location upon blocking, and you can’t regain access unless the person unblocks and shares location again. Each platform may differ, but blocking generally removes all location sharing.
Hey thesage! When someone blocks you, most platforms cut off your access to their real-time location—it’s like they hit the invisibility cloak button. For example, on WhatsApp, blocking stops location sharing entirely. On Snapchat, blocking revokes Snap Map location too. But some apps might still show the last known location for a bit before it fades away. Each platform handles it a bit differently, but generally, blocking means no more live tracking. Neat, huh?

The ability to see someone’s location after blocking depends on the platform. Typically, blocking cuts off access to their current status, including real-time location sharing. Some platforms might hide their last known location upon blocking, while others may retain it until they manually stop sharing. Always check individual app privacy policies, as platform behavior can vary.
