How to Block People on Steam – (PC & Mobile)

If you have some weird people in your steam friend list you can quickly block all communications. In this article, I am sharing a step-by-step method on how to block people on Steam both through PC and Mobile.

Steam is a great platform that provides you with tons of games to store without occupying space on your device.

Another best part is that you interact and connect with different people in the gaming community. But sometimes you may get mad at a few people and decide to block them.

 

How to Block People on Steam (PC)

There are two different methods through which you can block someone on steam. Both these methods are easy and you can use any of them whichever you like.

 

Method 1 – Block Through Steam Friends Dashboard

• Open the Steam client and make sure you are logged in to your account.
• From the top menu bar, hover up to your name, and then from the drop-down click on Friends.
  
  

  

• Here you will see the list of all your steam friends, look for the user whom you want to block, and click on the name. You can also type the user’s name in the search box.
• User profile box will now be up, click on the drop-down at the right-hand top of the box and from the suggestion choose “Block all Communication”.
  
  

  

• Another box of the block all communication will popup so click on Yes, Block them.

You can do the same if you want to block more people and if you have a long list to mass block people, then follow the below steps.

While playing games and using the steam community you can block players or any friends on steam.

These blocked players or friends on steam can be easily viewed under the steam block list.

How to Unfriend People on Steam

If you have added some random strange people to your friend list or someone is no longer your friend then you can also simply unfriend and remove them from your Steam friend list.

Follow the below simple steps

• Open the Steam dashboard and login with your account.
• Hover up to your name and from the drop-down suggestion click on “Friends”.
• Now find the friend whom you want to unfriend and click on their name to bring up their profile.

This friend will be now completely removed from your Steam friend list.

 

 

What happens if I block someone on steam?

Once you block any friend on steam you will appear offline to them and further, they won’t be able to see your status online and even cannot chat with you. They won’t receive any notification and will not be notified further about the game you play on steam.

Now Steam offers two options to get rid of your mad friend, so either you can block them or also unfriend them from your friend list. Unfriend will completely remove the user from your list and they won’t be able to send you the request again.

I would recommend that if you have temporary issues with friends, kindly go with the block option and still you feel disturbed by them, kindly unfriend them.
