Block or unblock someone in Flickr

Flickr is all about inspiration & positive interactions. If another member is interfering with that experience for you, you can block them.

Once blocked, the member will not be able to: 

  • Follow you;
  • Interact with your photos or videos;
  • Send you FlickrMail.

Any comments or faves from them on your content will be deleted, and your content will be removed from their galleries.

Notes:

  • The member you have blocked will not receive a notification about this action.
  • While the block itself will occur immediately, removal of comments and faves can take up to several hours.
  • Blocked members will still be able to see your Public content.
  • You will still be able to see and interact with contents in the account of a blocked member.
