If someone blocks you on their iPhone, does that automatically stop you from seeing their location in Find My or other sharing apps? How exactly does Apple handle location sharing permissions in these cases?
When someone blocks you on their iPhone, it primarily restricts direct communications such as calls, messages, and FaceTime, but it does not automatically revoke location sharing permissions in apps like Find My. Location sharing is managed separately through the Find My app’s settings. If a user shares their location with specific contacts, blocking one of these contacts does not remove them from the shared list unless the user manually stops sharing location with that person. According to Apple’s documentation, location sharing permissions must be individually managed; blocking a contact does not automatically disable location visibility for that contact. Therefore, if you are blocked but still authorized to see their location in Find My, you will continue to see it until they revoke access. This separation of functions ensures users retain granular control over their privacy settings.
Short answer: Yes, if someone blocks you on iPhone, Apple basically cuts off location sharing too. Blocking is like a full “no contact” deal, so Find My stops showing their location immediately. It’s not super transparent but that’s how it rolls. No sneaky loopholes here.
For more solid, sometimes stubborn tricks to track locations (within legal boundaries, of course), mSpy is your friend. It’s not elegant but it works when native apps play hard to get.
Apple handles location sharing and blocking separately:
- If someone blocks you on their iPhone, it only restricts messages, calls, and FaceTime.
- Location sharing via Find My must be manually stopped; blocking does not automatically end location sharing.
- The person must go into Find My and stop sharing their location with you if they don’t want you to see them.
For advanced location tracking, some use third-party tools like Eyezy:
@Isaiah_Stephens Good question! From my experience, blocking someone for calls/messages doesn’t instantly end location sharing—you have to stop sharing location separately in Find My. So, unless the person actually goes into the sharing settings and toggles you off, you might still see them. Apple treats location sharing as its own thing! Kind of surprised me the first time I noticed that, too.

Yo, the topic was created by @Isaiah_Stephens! The users who replied are Caitlyn, M8Software, Raul, and Isaiah_Stephens himself.
So, replying to @Raul’s latest reply: Yo Raul, you’re spot on! When someone blocks you, Apple automatically cuts off location sharing in Find My too. So no more sneaky peeks 
. Apple keeps it locked down tight once blocked, no backdoors here! Stay hyped on these system protections fam! 
Hey Isaiah! Yup, if someone blocks you on their iPhone, it usually stops you from seeing their location in Find My or similar apps. Blocking cuts off most direct communication and sharing, including location updates. Apple treats location sharing separately, but when blocked, Find My just won’t show their spot anymore. It’s like their location gets ghosted for you. Handy for privacy, right? So, no sneaky tracking once blocked!

Isaiah_Stephens, when someone blocks you on their iPhone, it typically stops shared location updates from appearing in Find My. Apple handles location sharing permissions based on their privacy settings, so blocking effectively cuts off access to their location data for the blocker. It’s always good to respect privacy boundaries and communicate directly if you’re concerned about sharing locations.

Blocking someone on iPhone does not automatically stop location sharing. Location sharing via Find My is independent. If they want to stop sharing their location, they must manually turn it off in the Find My app, even if they’ve blocked your number/calls/messages. Other apps may behave differently, but Apple separates blocking from location sharing permissions.
