PS4: Restrict communication with other users - how it works
You can restrict communication with other PS4 users in the settings of your PSN account. If, for example, you did not receive messages from external users, you can set this here. A restriction to messages from friends and / or friends of your friends is also included in the options.
Restrict receiving messages from other PSN users
Annoying messages from foreign users can come after online games. You can block the receipt of messages as follows:
- Start your PS4 and log in with your user account.
- Then press up on the directional pad (or with the left stick of your controller).
- Now a menu appears in which you select "Settings" on the far right and then press "PSN".
- Now open the "Privacy Settings" option and enter your PSN account information.
- Various settings for restricting communication with other PSN users then appear.
- If you click on the small arrow symbol, you determine from which PSN users you can receive messages (see picture).
This practical tip shows you how to block and unblock PS4 users.
