Unfollowing someone simply hides their posts from their timeline. But it will not alert them that you have unfollowed them. You can also unblock a friend who blocked you from messaging them. Hopefully this article will answer your questions. You can unblock your friend by following them again!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_a_friend_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Unblocking a friend on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes you may want to unblock a friend on Facebook. Maybe you have some unresolved issues and would like to rebuild the friendship. Facebook also allows you to block someone if you want to prevent them from stalking you on the social network. If this sounds like you, here are steps to unblock someone on Facebook. First, send them a Friend Request. They will need to accept it before they can access your profile.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve unblocked a friend, you can send them friend requests again. You can then mark their friend request as spam if they refuse to accept them. Once you&#8217;ve unblocked a friend, you can re-establish your friendship on Facebook and see them on your timeline once more. Simply follow the steps below to unblock your friend and they&#8217;ll be able to send you friend requests again.<\/p>\n<p>In the Settings menu, go to &#8220;Blocking&#8221; and then tap the name of the person you&#8217;d like to unblock. This option is located on the right-hand side of a user&#8217;s name. Click Unblock next to their name and confirm your decision. After 48 hours, you can block them again. This process can take a few days. If you do not want to wait that long, you can always unblock them again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Re-blocking_a_friend_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Re-blocking a friend on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone has blocked you from their Facebook account, you can&#8217;t unblock them. The only way to re-friend someone is to send a new friend request. Once someone has blocked you, they won&#8217;t be able to view your posts, start conversations, or add you as a friend. Sometimes, users realize that they have been blocked, and they search Facebook for them to regain access to their profile.<\/p>\n<p>You can also un-block a friend by setting your profile to private and un-friending them. If you&#8217;re unsure of whether you want to re-friend a friend, you can make their posts and activities visible only to friends. But be careful about doing so. The person might change his\/her mind and block you again. Make sure that you know how to unblock a friend on Facebook before you try it.<\/p>\n<p>To un-block a friend on Facebook, first log in to your account. Log in using your email address and password. Click the &#8220;Account&#8221; tab in the upper right corner. Select the &#8220;Privacy Preferences&#8221; option. Scroll down the page and click &#8220;Edit Your Lists&#8221; under the &#8220;Block Lists&#8221; section. Locate the name of the person you&#8217;d like to un-block. Click the &#8220;Unblock&#8221; button next to his or her name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Re-unblocking_a_friend_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Re-unblocking a friend on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If a friend has blocked you on Facebook, it is possible to unblock them. In the process, you must first confirm that you wish to unblock the friend. After you have confirmed, you can view and interact with the person&#8217;s profile again. You can also mark their messages as spam. You can do this in the privacy settings of Facebook. To unblock a friend on Facebook, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<p>Log in to your Facebook account and visit the person you want to unblock. Click on the three-line icon in the bottom-left corner. Select Settings and Privacy. Scroll down to Blocking. Once you&#8217;ve selected Blocking, tap on the unblock option. Click the button to confirm the change. The person will no longer be able to block you until 48 hours have passed. If you want to unblock a friend again, simply follow the steps above.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve confirmed the change, send a friend request to the person who blocked you. Make sure to give them the opportunity to accept your friend request. It&#8217;s easy to get blocked on Facebook, so it&#8217;s always best to remove the restriction to restore good relations. You may be in a bad mood and want to reconnect with someone who has blocked you, so you can unblock them again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unblock a Friend on Facebook &#8211; Tips If you are having problems contacting a friend on Facebook, you can easily re-block them by following them again.
