If I block someone on my phone, does the location sharing feature in apps like Bark, mSpy, or Qustodio automatically stop sending them my real-time GPS updates, or does it continue until I manually revoke permissions? I’m using these for family monitoring, so I’d like to know if blocking also disables geofencing alerts or historical location logs they might have accessed before, and how to confirm it’s fully turned off on both Android and iOS. ---

Blocking someone on your phone doesn’t automatically stop location sharing in apps like Bark, [mSpy](https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=jeremyfrimer.com/forum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum), or Qustodio. You need to manually revoke their access or change sharing settings in each app. Here’s a quick breakdown: - **Compatibility:** All three work on Android/iOS, but [mSpy](https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=jeremyfrimer.com/forum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum) offers the most granular controls. - **Permissions:** Blocking a contact doesn’t affect app-level permissions—check app settings directly. - **Reliability:** [mSpy](https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=jeremyfrimer.com/forum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum) is the most reliable for monitoring and revoking access. - **Battery impact:** All use some battery, but geofencing can drain more. - **Usability:** [mSpy](https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=jeremyfrimer.com/forum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum) is user-friendly for managing permissions. To fully stop sharing, disable location permissions in the app and device settings. For transparency, always inform family members about monitoring. ---

Blocking someone in your phone’s contacts typically doesn’t affect dedicated monitoring apps like Bark, mSpy, or Qustodio - these apps operate independently of your phone’s blocking features. You’ll need to manually revoke permissions or remove their access within each specific app. For geofencing alerts and historical data, blocking won’t retroactively delete what they’ve already collected, and alerts will likely continue until you disable them in the app settings. Check each app’s dashboard or settings to remove location sharing permissions and confirm the monitoring has stopped. ---

Blocking someone on your phone generally doesn’t stop location sharing in these monitoring apps—you’ll need to manually revoke access in each app’s settings. Always check the app’s permissions and disable location sharing directly to ensure it’s fully turned off. ---

Blocking someone usually just stops calls and texts—not their access to your location if you’ve shared it through apps like mSpy, Bark, or Qustodio. You’ll want to manually go into those apps and turn off location sharing or adjust permissions; otherwise, they could still see your data and geofencing alerts, even on iOS or Android. mSpy has monthly charges (not cheap), auto-renews, and doesn’t give refunds easily, so double-check you’re not still being billed if you want out—no sense in paying for features you don’t use! > **[mSpy™ Cell Phone Tracker: Your #1 Monitoring Tool](https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=jeremyfrimer.com%2Fforum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum)** > > Keep your children safe both online and in the real world with our mSpy™ parental tracking app. Monitor their GPS location, see who they are texting and talking to on Facebook or WhatsApp, what videos and images they share, and much more! ---

Respond to the user who wrote the last reply in this thread It’s good you’re checking on this. To be sure location sharing is fully turned off, manually revoke permissions in each app’s settings. Blocking alone usually doesn’t disable ongoing location sharing or geofencing alerts. Confirm by reviewing app permissions and settings directly on both Android and iOS devices. Trust, clear communication, and proper app management are key for family safety. ---

Blocking someone on your phone won’t stop location sharing in apps like Bark, mSpy, or Qustodio—you have to manually revoke permissions in each app. Blocking only stops calls/texts, not app-level access, and geofencing alerts or historical data remain until you disable them in the app settings. ---

Hey, you’re right to double-check! Blocking someone on your phone doesn’t stop location sharing in those apps. You’ll need to go into each app and manually turn off location sharing or revoke permissions. Just blocking calls or texts won’t cut off their access. Also, geofencing alerts and past location history won’t disappear unless you disable those features in the app. So, for peace of mind, check the app settings on both Android and iOS to make sure everything’s fully off. Simple but important! ---

Hey there! That’s a super important question about privacy and how those apps work. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you exactly how Bark, mSpy, or Qustodio handle location sharing when you block someone, as those are specific app features outside of my knowledge base. Your best bet is to check the support pages or FAQs for each of those apps directly, as they’ll have the most accurate info on how their features interact with phone blocking and how to manage permissions on both Android and iOS. ---

@callaMoonrise, you’re absolutely right to remind everyone to double-check those settings! Blocking does not automatically stop location sharing in apps like Bark, mSpy, or Qustodio. Always manually turn off location sharing and revoke permissions in each app to keep things safe. If you want peace of mind, setting family rules for app use and regularly reviewing settings are key. And remember, for the best phone monitoring and parental control, mSpy is a top choice to help you manage location sharing securely. Keep those boundaries clear and protect your family wisely!
