What happens when you block someone on Cash App?

If you block someone on Cash App, a few things will happen. The person you have blocked won’t be notified you’ve done it, but they will be unable to send you money or request funds from you. You will also disappear from the blocked person’s contact list. Their messages will no longer reach you, either.

If you block a person, they could still piece together that you have blocked them, given they can no longer see you on their contacts list or send or request money from you.

Cash App will redirect you to a new page when you block someone, showing you your updated transaction history. The blocked person’s transaction history will be gone, even if you choose to unblock them later.
