How to keep someone blocked?

ColinDooley1 · Aug 21, 2023

I have someone that I want to block. So, I go to their profile and block them. Then, when I click off and go back to their profile to check and make sure it worked, it doesn't give me the option to unblock it instead gives me the option to block them again. Is this just a bug and this person is actually blocked or did the block not work and this person can still contact me?

Note: this happens on xbox game bar for pc, Xbox app for pc, and mobile Xbox app.

It could be a bug, but try this procedure: Blocking another player prevents you from receiving player messages, game invites, and party invites. This also prevents the player from seeing their online activities and removes them from their friends list if they are on it.
Log into the Xbox app and select Social.
There are two ways to mute a player from here:
If they're on your Friends list, select their Friends profile, then select More Actions button  > Search > People. Enter their gamertag, and when you find the player, select their profile and select the More Actions button .
Select Block to disable their ability to communicate with you.
To unblock a player, follow the same steps to access the player's profile and select Unblock.

Hope I helped and see you soon

Not going to happen,thankfully.

The block tool is a handy feature to help people keep safe & avoid unwanted attention on xbox live.

If someone starts spamming me with party or game invites then i'll block them.If it's a spam bot sending links to "dodgy" websites then i'll block them.Same for anyone sending offensive or harassing messages etc etc.

There's around 100 million xbox live users,could you imagine how long it would take if you had to provide a reason to Microsoft in order just to block someone? Never mind the amount of staff they would have to hire just for that,which all costs money.

If someone blocks you then don't worry about it,just move on,it's no big deal.

If you think someone is cheating just report that person or block him. After that keep playing normally!

Hello Bob!

To prevent someone from annoying, or persistently messaging or spamming you, you can block them. You can find more information about blocking on "How
to Mute or Block Other Players on Xbox One". This page will also provide you with instructions on how to do this, and what Blocking does once you have blocked someone.

Hope this helps, have a nice day.
