Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cash App?
Cash App is a P2P payment app that lets you send, receive, or invest money. It offers services like Venmo and PayPal. Through this app, you will be able to send and receive funds, and also set direct deposits.
Will the person be notified when I block them?
No. People will not receive a notification when you block them on Cash App. But they will not be able to see you on their contacts list and will not be able to send or request funds from you. Although they will not get notified when you block them, not being able to search your profile is already a sign for them.
Are there other ways to prevent someone from sending/requesting funds aside from blocking them?
None. The only way to stop someone from requesting or sending you money is by blocking them. But there is still a way somehow, to block fund requests.
If you don’t want to block someone on Cash App, you can turn off requests. Here’s how you turn off Cash App requests:
- Open Cash App and log in to your account.
- Go to your profile.
- Tap on Settings and Privacy.
- Scroll through the options and look for “Incoming Requests.”
- Toggle this option off by tapping on it.
After saving the changes in your settings, you will no longer receive requests from other Cash App users. Remember that this setting applies to everyone, and not just to specific people from your contacts.

Will the person get in trouble if I block them on Cash App?
No. Blocking someone will only restrict them from searching you, and sending or requesting funds from you. They will not be reported when you block their profile.
If you think there is fraudulent or suspicious activity in a Cash App profile, you can report them as well. Here are the steps on how to do it:
- Open Cash App and search for the profile you want to report.
- Scroll through the user’s account until you reach the bottom
- Tap the “Report” button. You will be prompted to enter the reason why you wish to report the user.
Why can’t I send or request funds from someone I just unblocked?
There could be a few reasons why this happened. Check the following scenarios and see if one of them is the cause why you still can’t send or request funds:
- You did not refresh the app. After you unblock someone on Cash App, try closing the app and relaunch it again. This normally fixes the issue.
- The person also blocked you on Cash App. There is also a chance that the person you are trying to send or request funds from also blocked you. You may need to check if you can still see them from your Contacts list. If not, there is a possibility that they blocked you back.
- Your Cash App is not updated. Go to the App store or Play Store and check if your app is updated to the latest version.
- If you can already search the user and updated your app but still cannot send or request funds from them, you will need to contact Cash App support to help you further.
