Why Block or Unblock Someone on Spades Plus?
Blocking a player on Spades Plus is a useful feature for avoiding unwanted interactions. Whether it’s a player who is spamming you, being unsportsmanlike, or someone you simply don’t want to play with anymore, blocking allows you to enjoy your games without distractions.
However, circumstances change. Maybe you’ve patched things up, or you’ve realized that blocking wasn’t necessary. In these cases, unblocking someone is just as easy, letting you restore communication and continue playing together.
How to Unblock Someone on Spades Plus?
Unblocking a player on Spades Plus is a straightforward process, but it may vary depending on how you’re accessing the game (whether through Facebook, the app, or Game Center). Below are the steps to unblock a player on different platforms.
1. Unblock Someone via the Spades Plus App
If you’re using the Spades Plus app, here’s how to unblock someone:
- Step 1: Open the Spades Plus app on your mobile device.
- Step 2: Tap on the three horizontal lines (menu icon) usually located in the top-left corner of the main screen.
- Step 3: In the menu that opens, select Settings.
- Step 4: Within Settings, tap on the Blocked List or Blocked Players option. This will show you a list of all the players you’ve blocked.
- Step 5: Find the player you wish to unblock from the list.
- Step 6: Tap on the player’s name and choose Unblock. The player will be immediately unblocked, and they can now interact with you in the game.
Once unblocked, the player will be able to message you and join the same games as you again.
2. Unblock Someone on Spades Plus via Facebook
If you’re playing Spades Plus through Facebook, you can unblock someone directly through your Facebook settings:
- Step 1: Open the Facebook app or website and log in to your account.
- Step 2: Go to the Settings menu by tapping the three horizontal lines (menu icon) and selecting Settings & Privacy.
- Step 3: In Settings, scroll down and find the Blocking section.
- Step 4: You will see a list of all the people you’ve blocked. Scroll through and find the name of the person you want to unblock.
- Step 5: Next to the person’s name, click Unblock. This will allow the player to interact with you on Facebook, including in games like Spades Plus.
Keep in mind that once you unblock someone on Facebook, you’ll need to send them a friend request if you want to reconnect directly.
3. Unblocking Someone on Spades Plus via Game Center (iOS)
If you’re playing Spades Plus through Apple’s Game Center and have blocked someone there, follow these steps to unblock them:
- Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.

- Step 3: In the Game Center settings, find the Blocked Players option.
- Step 4: Tap on the list to view all the players you’ve blocked.
- Step 5: Find the player you want to unblock and tap the Unblock button next to their name.
Once unblocked, the player can interact with you again through Game Center.
What Happens After Unblocking Someone on Spades Plus?
After unblocking a player, you’ll be able to:
- Play in the same game rooms.
- Exchange in-game messages.
- Add them back as a friend (if playing through Facebook or Game Center).
Keep in mind that unblocking someone doesn’t automatically add them back to your friends list. If you want to play together or chat, you may need to send a friend request or invite them to a match.
Tips for Managing Your Blocked List on Spades Plus
Here are a few tips for managing your blocked and unblocked players list:
- Regularly Review Your Block List: Sometimes, you might forget why you blocked someone. Regularly reviewing your blocked players list helps you decide if anyone should be unblocked.
- Avoid Blocking in the Heat of the Moment: It’s easy to block someone during a frustrating match. If possible, take a moment before making the decision to block a player to ensure it’s what you really want.
Mute Instead of Block: If a player is just being temporarily annoying, consider muting them instead of blocking. This way, you won’t hear from them during the game, but you don’t have to permanently block their interactions.
