How to Unblock Someone on Spotify in 6 Easy Steps

Blocking someone on Spotify is a simple way to protect your privacy and control your listening experience. But what if you blocked someone a while ago and now want to give them access again? Fortunately, unblocking someone on Spotify is easy and straightforward.

Blocking on Spotify is a feature that lets you stop another user from following you, viewing your playlists, or seeing your activity on the platform. This is a helpful way to keep your privacy intact and to decide who can interact with you on Spotify.

If you’ve blocked someone and now wish to unblock them, just follow the steps in this guide.

What to Do When Unblocking a User Doesn’t Work

Some users in the Spotify Community have reported having trouble unblocking friends. If you’re unable to unblock someone on Spotify, try these tips:

• Restart the Spotify app and your device.
• Log out and then log back in to your account.
• If you’re using Spotify in a web browser, try clearing your browser’s cache.
• Double-check that you are on the correct user’s profile (mistakes can happen!).

If none of these steps help and you’re still unable to unblock the user, we recommend contacting Spotify Support for further assistance.
