What does blocking a user in Cash App do?
Blocking someone on Cash App is a private choice. They are never notified that you blocked them. However, they can’t make Cash App transactions with you after you block them. They also can’t send and receive messages with you in the app, they won’t find you by searching for your Cashtag, and you won’t show up in their contacts list. Because of this, they might figure out that you blocked them, but they will never be told.
Additionally, your transaction history with the person is deleted. Even if you unblock them, those transactions no longer show up. Make sure you’re okay with this happening if you decide to block someone.
