How to Block and Unblock Users on SoundCloud

How can users block someone on SoundCloud, and what are the steps involved?

To block an account from following or interacting with you:

Locate the Block Option:

  • Visit the profile of the user you wish to block, click the three dots (…) in the top right corner, and then select the 'Block' option from the menu.

 

Manage Interactions:

  • When you block a user, you will have the option to remove any reposts, likes, and comments they have made on your account. This ensures that their past interactions with your content are also removed.

What are the consequences of blocking and unblocking users on SoundCloud?

Blocking a user has several consequences:

User Notification:

  • Will the blocked user know they've been blocked?
    The user does not receive a notification when they are blocked. Instead, they encounter an error message on the screen that reads, "Something went wrong when trying to perform this action."

 

Impact on Interactions:

  • What happens to the blocked user's interactions with my account?
    You can choose to remove all their reposts, likes, and comments from your account when you block them. This cleans up any previous interactions they had with your content.

 

Privacy Settings:

  • How can I manage my list of blocked users?
    You can view and manage the users you have blocked by going to your Privacy Settings page. From here, you can unblock users if you choose.

 

How can users unblock someone on SoundCloud, and what should they consider before doing so?

To unblock a user:

Unblock from Privacy Settings:

  • Go to your Privacy Settings page, where you can see a list of all users you have blocked. You can unblock any user from this list.

 

Unblock from the User's Profile:

  • Alternatively, you can visit the profile of the blocked user and select the option to unblock them directly from their profile page.

 

What should users consider before unblocking someone?

Before unblocking a user:

  • Re-Evaluate the Situation: Consider whether unblocking the user might lead to unwanted interactions or if the initial reason for blocking them is still relevant.
  • Restoration of Interactions: Keep in mind that unblocking a user does not automatically restore their previous interactions (likes, comments, reposts) on your account.
