Whether you&#8217;ve blocked someone, or you simply want to re-block someone, there are several methods to try. Here&#8217;s a quick guide for both. Listed below are three methods to try out. Once you&#8217;ve tried them, you&#8217;ll have the ability to interact with the person again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_someone_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Unblocking someone on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re blocked by someone on Facebook, you&#8217;ll want to unblock them and regain their contact. This is easier than you may think. First, you need to go into the settings of Facebook. From your account, you&#8217;ll find the section for privacy and security. Here, you can choose to block a specific person or group. After blocking someone, you&#8217;ll see a list of names that are listed. Click the &#8220;unblock&#8221; button to unblock that person. You&#8217;ll have to confirm your action.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to go about blocking someone on Facebook. First, log in to your Facebook account. On a computer, you can simply click on the &#8220;Settings&#8221; tab, while on a mobile device, you&#8217;ll need to scroll down to the settings option. Next, go to &#8220;Privacy and Settings&#8221; and select &#8220;Blocking.&#8221; From this point, you&#8217;ll be able to see a list of people you&#8217;ve blocked.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Re-blocking_someone_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Re-blocking someone on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Re-blocking someone on Facebook is a common mistake. Often, blocking a user limits communication with that person. This can be undone, however, by following a few simple steps. After blocking a user, make sure they&#8217;re unfriended, or set their profile to private. You can also choose to make their posts and updates private by excluding them from custom viewer audiences. If you&#8217;ve accidentally unblocked a friend, be sure to follow these steps carefully.<\/p>\n<p>Blocking a friend on Facebook is a risky endeavor. Not only is it frustrating for both parties, but it can also lead to frustration. The user may even decide to report the offender to Facebook. By blocking someone on Facebook, the other person can now report you. While this may work in some cases, it could end up making the user look desperate. It could also lead to the &#8220;sender&#8217;s&#8221; account being blocked as well.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_a_user_after_blocking_them\"><\/span>Unblocking a user after blocking them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve blocked someone on Facebook, you may be wondering how to unblock them. Thankfully, it&#8217;s easier than ever. To start, you should log into Facebook. Navigate to Settings &gt; Privacy &gt; Blocking. Scroll down to the list of people who have been blocked, and tap on their name. Tap &#8220;Unblock&#8221; and confirm the action. Once you&#8217;ve confirmed the action, the user will no longer be visible on your profile.<\/p>\n<p>To unblock a user, go to your privacy settings, either on your phone or online. Tap the small triangle in the right corner, then select &#8220;Account Settings.&#8221; From here, you&#8217;ll find a link to &#8220;Unblock&#8221; the person you blocked. The user you unblock will no longer be able to view your timeline or contact you, but they&#8217;ll be able to see your public timeline, and you can re-tag them based on their settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Re-blocking_a_user_after_blocking_them\"><\/span>Re-blocking a user after blocking them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few steps you can take to re-block a user on Facebook after blocking them. First, you must log into Facebook and open the Settings &amp; Privacy menu. After that, click on the &#8220;Privacy Shortcuts&#8221; option. Scroll down to the Privacy section and click &#8220;Blocking&#8221;. Then, confirm your action by clicking on &#8220;Unblock.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next, check other social media. If you&#8217;ve blocked a user, you&#8217;ll see that they&#8217;re not showing up in your friends list or search results. Also, you may see that they&#8217;ve deleted their profile or announced their closure on another social media account. Fortunately, you can still message the person, albeit with caution. Nonetheless, these steps may violate Facebook&#8217;s terms of service.<\/p>\n<p>To unblock someone who has blocked you, go to their profile. Tap the three-line icon in the upper-right corner. In the &#8220;Audience and Visibility&#8221; section, you should find a list of the people you&#8217;ve blocked. Click on the name of the person you&#8217;d like to unblock, and confirm the action by tapping &#8220;Unblock.&#8221; If you&#8217;re unhappy with a user&#8217;s status, you can always unblock them again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unblock Someone on Facebook If you&#8217;re curious about how to unblock someone on Facebook, you have come to the right place.
