How to block or unblock someone on your PS4, and manage who's allowed to message you

Publish date: 2024-07-08

You can block a player on your PS4 if you find that person rude, offensive, or simply don't want to receive messages from them. And then you can unblock them later.

Similar to the way blocking works for some apps on your phone, a blocked user will be able to send you messages but you won't receive them. You can unblock the user to start receiving messages from them again.

1. Open the profile of the person you want to block.

2. On the person's profile page, select the icon that looks like three dots to open a menu.

3. Choose "Block" from the menu.

This person is now blocked, and you won't see new incoming messages from them. If they were previously on your Friends List, they'll be removed from that as well.

If you're blocked someone but later change your mind, you can restore your ability to receive messages from him or her.

1. Select "Friends" from the function screen and press the Options button on the controller.
