Lapse, with its focus on creating and sharing short-form videos, has become a popular platform for creators and viewers alike. However, sometimes disagreements or unwanted interactions lead to blocking users. If you've changed your mind and want to reconnect with someone you've blocked on Lapse, this guide will walk you through the process. We'll cover how to unblock users on both the Lapse mobile app and, if applicable, the desktop version.
Understanding Lapse's Blocking Feature
Before we dive into the unblocking process, let's briefly understand what blocking someone on Lapse actually does. When you block a user, you prevent them from:
