How to Block or Unblock Someone in LINE App?

One of the LINE app features automatically adds buddies from our phone contacts. This innovation may make it easier for us to add friends without an ID line or barcode scanning.

However, many LINE users are irritated by this situation because some of their line buddies frequently spam and submit content to inappropriate timelines. Are you one of them? If so, maybe you need to block some of them. It's crazy, but it's the best way you can stay away from those unpleasant things. So, how to do LINE block on your phone? Let's get started!

Part 1: What Happens When You Block Someone in LINE on iPhone/Android?

Do you think your LINE friends are quite annoying? There is another way you can do besides blocking them, which is to hide their contacts. However, this feature still allows them to message you, even without your knowledge. 

Well, If hiding your LINE contacts isn't enough for you, you can also block your LINE buddies.

So, what is the difference between block and hide? In reality, there isn't much of a difference.

If hide merely conceals contacts and updates from your LINE timeline, block prevents all of your LINE pals from contacting you. As a result of this block feature, LINE buddies who have been blocked will not send you any chats. Isn't this a lot more compelling?

Blocked LINE buddies can't only talk; they can't phone, video call, share images, or do anything else. If you use this block option, you will never see your LINE buddies on the LINE timeline again. Yes, as long as they're still on your blocked list, this will apply.

Only one exception applies to group messages. You'll see their messages, and they'll see yours if you block someone on LINE and then join a group conversation where that person is a member. LINE, on the other hand, will notify you ahead of time. You can then pick whether or not you want to be a part of the group message.

Of course, this level of blocking does nothing but block their messages. When it comes to your profile, posts, and so on, they will stay privy to the content. But, at least they don't interfere with your life personally anymore.

Isn't it a brilliant idea to get away from a toxic ex, an ignorant friend, and a boring busy life?

Then, when you block someone on messenger what do they see?

Well, when you block someone on LINE, they really won't know it and won't even notice until they try it themselves. For example, intentionally contacting you when you are next to each other. The person you block will not see any incoming calls on your phone.

Don't go anywhere! Because in the next section you will know how to do it.
