How to Unblock Someone on Cash App: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

Blocking someone on Cash App—yeah, sometimes you just have to do it for your own peace of mind. But what if you change your mind later? Maybe you blocked the wrong person, or maybe things have cooled off. Either way, Cash App actually makes it pretty easy to reverse the block.

To unblock someone on Cash App, just head to your Activity tab, find the blocked person's profile, and tap the "Unblock" button at the bottom of their page. That’s it—just a few taps, and you’re all set to send or receive payments from them again.

Cash App lets you manage blocked contacts easily, so you can keep control and flexibility over who you interact with. You can block or unblock people anytime, and the app keeps things private—nobody gets notified about these changes.

How to Unblock Someone on Cash App

You can unblock someone on Cash App by finding them in your Activity tab and hitting the unblock option. It’s quick, and you’ll be able to send or receive money with that person again right away.

Accessing the Blocked User List

Cash App doesn’t have a neat little list of everyone you’ve blocked. Instead, you need to dig through your Activity tab (the one with the clock icon) to find people you’ve interacted with before.

Open up Cash App and tap the Activity tab in the bottom-right. Scroll through your payment history—look for any old transactions or payment requests involving the person you blocked.

You’ll still see the blocked user’s name in your past transactions, so you can tap into their profile even after blocking them.

If you don’t spot the person right away, you might have to scroll back a bit further. The catch is, you can only find people you’ve actually interacted with before.

Step-by-Step Process to Unblock a Contact

Once you find the blocked contact in your Activity tab, here’s what you do:

• Step 1: Tap the blocked user's name or profile picture in your Activity tab.

  
  

• Step 2: That opens up their profile, showing your past transactions.

  
  

• Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the profile page and look for the Unblock button.

  
  

• Step 4: Tap Unblock. Done! The person’s no longer blocked.

Cash App processes the unblock instantly. You don’t need to enter your PIN or talk to customer service—nice, right?

Now, if you go back to their profile, you’ll see a Block button instead. That’s how you know the unblock worked.

What Happens After Unblocking a User

After you unblock someone, you both can send and receive money from each other again. Payment features go back to normal.

The unblocked person can send you payment requests and money transfers. If your profile info was hidden before, they’ll see it again.

Cash App keeps this low-key—nobody gets a notification when you block or unblock them. The other person won’t know unless they try to send you money and notice the change.

If you ever need to block them again, just repeat the steps—tap their profile and hit Block.

There’s no waiting period. Once you unblock, you can immediately start making transactions together again.

Managing Blocked and Unblocked Contacts on Cash App

Keeping tabs on who you’ve blocked can help keep your account safe from unwanted messages or requests. It’s worth checking in occasionally to make sure your privacy settings still fit your needs.

Reviewing Your Blocked Users Regularly

Since Cash App doesn’t offer a dedicated block list, you’ll need to use the Activity tab to check on your blocked contacts.

It’s a bit of a hassle, honestly. Without a central list, you have to remember who you blocked and scroll through your transaction history to find them.

Try to review your blocked contacts every month or so—just to see if you still want those restrictions in place. Sometimes you block someone in the heat of the moment, but later realize it’s not necessary.

Think about things like:

• Changed relationships – Maybe you’ve patched things up.

  
  

• Business needs – Got a work contact you need to unblock?

  
  

• Family stuff – Family drama blows over eventually, right?

The Activity tab shows all your past interactions, and blocked contacts still show up there, but they can’t send you new requests or payments.

Again, neither you nor the other person gets an alert when you block or unblock someone. Cash App keeps this completely private.

Security and Privacy Considerations

Blocking someone on Cash App stops them from sending you payment requests or messages. Still, they can see your public profile info. That’s just how it works.

Blocked users cannot:

• Send you money

  
  

• Request money from you

  
  

• See your transaction activity

  
  

• Contact you through the app

A few security notes:

Your $Cashtag stays visible, even to people you’ve blocked. They might find your profile, but they just can’t interact with it.

ATM withdrawals and other banking features? They keep working like usual, no matter who you’ve blocked. Blocking only affects stuff inside the app—nothing else.

If you’re thinking about unblocking someone, maybe pause for a second. Did you block them because of harassment or a scam? Those issues probably haven’t gone away.

Other privacy options: You can turn off incoming requests for everyone. That way, nobody can send you requests, not just the folks you’ve blocked.

Sometimes, it’s less hassle to use this setting if you just want a break from everyone.
