How to Unblock Someone on Facebook
As stated above, this tool is useful in case you need to unblock a user later on down the line, so this is how you can unblock a user that was previously blocked on Facebook.
- If you want to unblock a user, head over to the Facebook menu by tapping on the icon at the bottom-right corner of your screen. Now, expand the “Settings & Privacy” category and select “Settings”.
- Scroll down and tap on “Blocking” to review people you’ve previously blocked.
- You’ll be able to view a list of all the people you’ve blocked. In order to unblock someone, just tap on the “Unblock” option located right next to their Facebook name.

Blocking Users on Facebook
At this point, you’re basically an expert in blocking Facebook users and managing your block list. Facebook differs from Instagram because when a user is blocked, you are unable to view their page until you unblock them. If you do wish to see their profile, make sure you can stand them for 48 hours because Facebook makes you wait 48 hours before you can block someone that you recently unblocked. With that being said, we hope you are able to enjoy yourself more on Facebook by removing troublesome users. If you end up completely sick of Facebook, you can always resort to deactivating your account and being done for good!
