If you block someone on GroupMe, will you both be able to see the other's messages in a groupchat?

Hi there,

Thanks for checking in about this I totally get how confusing it can be when you block someone and still see their messages in a group chat. You’re definitely not alone in wondering how this works!

Here’s the deal: blocking someone on GroupMe only affects private messages between you and that person. So once you block them:

They can’t send you direct messages anymore.

You also won’t be able to message them privately.

But when it comes to group chats, things work a bit differently. GroupMe keeps group conversations intact, so you’ll still see each other’s messages in shared groups. This is intentional it helps avoid breaking the flow of group discussions, especially when multiple people are involved.

I know that might not be ideal if you’re trying to avoid someone entirely. If it’s causing discomfort, you might consider muting the group, leaving it, or asking the group admin if they can help manage the situation.

Let me know if you’d like help with any of those options, I’m here to support you!
