I know someone has me blocked, but Find My says they can still see my location.

So I have shared my location indefinitely with someone months ago and it is only them who I share it with. The purple arrow lights up a lot when i randomly look in my privacy settings. Would that be them looking?

I also have ios17.5.1 and I heard they have blocked me but if the purple arrow is them looking then I think it’s kinda funny. Just curious?

Do you know for a fact that you have been blocked by this person? Or are you trying to figure out if they have blocked you? If the latter, there is no way for you to know that short of asking them. If, on the other hand, you already know they have blocked you, stop bothering them.

Hi. one question. i just got blocked by someone and i still sharing my location and i’m using the feature of noticing the other party when i’m leaving or arriving home. will they get the notification even though imm blocked?

If they blocked you, they won't get any notifications about you.


Why are you still sharing your location with someone who has made it clear they don't want anything to do with you?

It actually isn't. When you block someone (or someone blocks you), it takes them off of your people who you share location with. It is a privacy feature that Apple implemented.

It's important to note how old this thread is. It's even possible that the original poster was not yet using iOS 17.

If they have blocked you, they aren't seeing anything. Stop sharing your location with them.
