However, since Facebook somehow buried this feature in the heart of setting page, a lot of Facebook users do find it very difficult to block and unblock people.
From there, you should click on blocking on the left side of your screen, which will be accompanied by a white minus sign surrounded by red.
Now, enter the name of the person you want to block and press the block button. Don’t worry, because they won’t be notified that you blocked them.
After you finish these steps, they will be unable to see what you have posted!
Are there other ways to block someone?
Instead of going through your settings, you can also go to the person’s profile and click the three-dotted-icon in the bottom right of their cover photo. This will initiate a drop-down menu.
When it unravels, “block” should be an option. All you have to do is click it and the person will be blocked immediately!
To unblock people on Facebook, follow the above steps and then under the block users section, locate the name of the person you want to unblock from your facebook blocked list and then click the unblock button next to their name.
Note that to reconnect with the people you’ve unblocked on Facebook, you’ll need to send them friend requests and then wait for them to accept it.
The reason is, Facebook does not reconnect you with the people you unlock automatically.
Let’s also consider how to block people on Facebook Messenger.
How do I block messages from someone on Messenger?
