Have you ever opened up Pinterest and wondered who’s been blocked? It can be easy to lose track of who you’ve blocked over time, especially if you’re an active user of the platform. Fortunately, Pinterest makes it easy to view a list of all the users you’ve blocked. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps on how to see blocked users on Pinterest, so you can keep your account safe and secure.
To view a list of all the users you’ve blocked on Pinterest, simply log in to your account and click on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen. From there, select “Settings” and then click on the “Blocked accounts” tab. You’ll then see a list of all the users you’ve blocked, along with their profile pictures and usernames. If you want to unblock any of these users, simply click on the “Unblock” button next to their name.
It’s important to note that you can only unblock users who have not yet blocked you back. If a user has blocked you back, you will not be able to unblock them unless they unblock you first. Additionally, if you unblock a user and they then block you again, you will not be able to unblock them again unless they unblock you first.

Tips for Effective Blocking Practices
Blocking users on Pinterest can be an effective way to curate your social media experience and protect your privacy. Here are some tips for implementing effective blocking practices:
1. **Understand the purpose of blocking:** Blocking is meant to limit interactions by preventing a particular user from communicating with or accessing your Pinterest content. It’s not a form of punishment but rather a way to protect your boundaries.
2. **Consider the consequences:** Blocking someone is a permanent action. Unless you unblock them, the user will be unable to interact with your account. It’s important to weigh the consequences before blocking someone.
3. **Use blocking judiciously:** Blocking should be a last resort after attempts at resolving conflicts have failed. It’s best to block users who are harassing, abusive, or engaging in inappropriate behavior.
4. **Don’t block impulsively:** Give yourself time to calm down before blocking someone. Blocking in the heat of the moment can lead to regret later on.
5. **Be aware of accidental blocking:** Unintentionally blocking someone can create awkward situations. Double-check the username before confirming a block.
6. **Consider a privacy checkup:** Regularly review your privacy settings to ensure your content is protected. This includes checking who can see your profile, comments, and messages.
7. **Use the report feature:** If a user is engaging in harmful or illegal behavior, consider reporting them to Pinterest. This will help the platform investigate and take appropriate action.
8. **Educate yourself:** Familiarize yourself with Pinterest’s guidelines on blocking and user conduct. This will help you make informed decisions about blocking and reporting users.
9. **Unblock when appropriate:** If you block someone and later change your mind, you can unblock them at any time. Note that unblocking resets the block and allows the user to interact with your account again.
10. Block Anonymous Accounts
If you encounter anonymous accounts that are engaging in inappropriate behavior, it’s possible to block them. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to view their Pinterest profile, but you can report them to Pinterest for investigation.

| Report the account to Pinterest for investigation. |
