With VSCO, you can share photos and videos, edited with filters and tools to maximize your social reach and showcase your skills to the online community of VSCO. However, not always will you be on good terms with your fellow creators. As a social media app, VSCO has a responsibility to have a blocking feature that can be used to fend off unknown or pesky users.
VSCO does not inform users about their blocked or unblocked status
In this article, we will discuss how you can block and unblock someone on VSCO, a premium photo and video editing and sharing platform.

Unblocking someone on VSCO
For the real reason that you are here, it is fairly easy to unblock someone on VSCO as it is to block them. Since VSCO does not inform them about their blocked or unblocked status and as your VSCO profile is public, a person cannot generally detect if they have been blocked.
Keep in mind that VSCO’s app does not have the option to view a blocked list of VSCO profiles that have been blocked by you. Nevertheless, the people blocked by you will appear on your searches if you search for their usernames.
You can unblock someone by following the steps given below:
- Head to the user whose profile you want to block and tap on the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner
- From the list of given options, tap on Unblock
What happens when you unblock someone on VSCO?
After unblocking someone, you will have to follow them again. Thus, even though VSCO does not tell the user that they were blocked and unblocked, having to send them a follow request again might give them a hint.
All of your past favourited images and republishes by the blocked user will remain as mentioned before and furthermore, you will now be able to follow them, favourite their images, and publish their images and videos on your collection.
The formerly blocked user will now be able to follow and message you as well as interact with your content again in the form of favourites and republish your work in their collection.

Blocking someone on VSCO
If you don’t want specific users to contact you or interact with the content on your profile like your artwork, you can always block them to avoid unnecessary unpleasantness. Blocking someone also allows you to:
- Restrict those who can message you
- They unfollow you
- Halt those who favourite your images and videos
- Check those who publish your images and videos to their collection. You can also remove your images and videos from their collection that was added by them before they were blocked.
- Any past favourited images and republishes by the blocked user will not disappear after you block them
Even though you will not be able to stop someone from viewing your profile when you block them, you can still do so by effortlessly following the steps given below:
- Head to the user whose profile you want to block and tap on the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner
- From the list of given options, tap on Block
