Block PS4 users and remove blocking - how it works

You can block annoying PS4 users and easily remove the blockage. Messages from blocked PS4 users will then no longer be delivered to you.

Block PS4 users

In the settings for friends you can block users from your list or any user ID:

1. Start your PS4 and log in with your user account.
2. Now press up on your directional pad (or left stick) and select the "Friends" menu item.
3. Now you have two different options to block the user: You can either choose a friend from your friend list or block a specific user by ID search. Then select the identified friend / user with the [X] key.
4. Now press on the surface with the three dots (see picture). Then select "Block" in the next window. Now the user is on the list of blocked players.

Unblock again

If you accidentally blocked a friend, you can remove the block. There is a list in the settings which shows you all blocked users.

1. After logging in, push the control up again and select the "Friends" menu item again.
2. In the next window press "Blocked players" and select the desired user.
3. Now press "Unblock" to remove the blocked PS4 user from your block list.
