So. if you’re looking for the best way to block and unblock people on Facebook or Messenger, this article got you covered.
Let’s get started with how to block people on Facebook ASAP!!!๐
How to Block People on Facebook
Blocking is one of the best Facebook features that helps Facebook users control their profile. By blocking someone, you totally obscure the people from seeing your Facebook account. The blocked individual on Facebook can’t see anything concerning you on the giant social networking site.
However, a lot of Facebook users are yet to get to know how they can hover about the website to block people they don’t want to interact with on the platform. This post wishes to relate with people in that category the best ways they could follow to block friends that make Facebook a non-comfort ground for them.
For those that wish to know, Facebook advises you to block people you don’t befriend anymore. That is why once you click the block button, Facebook immediately disconnect you with the person and then places them in your block user’s list.
Interestingly, Facebook has a feature that lets you access this list whenever you choose. And peradventure you mistakenly block someone, you can unblock them from that list.
We will also teach you how you can easily unblock people you might have mistakenly obstructed from your block list and the best way you can reconnect with them on Facebook.
Note that when you block someone on Facebook, to reconnect with them, you’ll first have to unblock them and then resend them a friend request. Once they accept the request, Facebook can then reconnect you guys.
In essence, unblocking on Facebook doesn’t reconnect you with the people you’ve blocked automatically, hence the need to send them a brand-new friend request.
How do You Block That Nagging Friend on Facebook?
Here’s the best way to unblock someone who has been making your every moment on Facebook uncomfortable.
Do this to block people;
1. Log in to your Facebook account
2. Click on the V-shape icon at the top corner of any Facebook page
3. Click Settings from the drop-down menu and a new page will display
4. Navigate to the left column of the page that appears and click Blocking
5. Step 4 above opens the manage blocking page.
WAIT a minute…do you know that on that manage blocking page you can do the following;
i. Manage your Restricted List๐๐๐
Yes!!! When you add a friend to your Restricted List, they won’t see posts on Facebook that you share only to Friends. They may still see things you share to Public or on a mutual friend’s timeline, and posts they’re tagged in. Facebook doesn’t notify your friends when you add them to your Restricted List.
ii. You Can See Your Block users๐๐๐
Once you block someone, that person can no longer see things you post on your timeline, tag you, invite you to events or groups, start a conversation with you, or add you as a friend. Note: Does not include apps, games or groups you both participate in.
iii. You Can Block Messages From People๐๐๐
If you block messages and video calls from someone here, they won’t be able to contact you in the Messenger app either. Unless you block someone’s profile, they may be able to post on your timeline, tag you, and comment on your posts or comments.

However, since the purpose of this post is to teach you how to block and unblock people on Facebook, we won’t go into all of the above stuff. We would rather consider (ii) only.
