You&#8217;ve probably wondered the same thing. After all, they can&#8217;t see your profile, see your posts, or contact you via Messenger. But there&#8217;s more to blocking someone on Facebook than meets the eye. Read on to learn about what happens when you block someone on Facebook. Here are some things you can expect from the person after they block you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Messages_from_that_person_will_not_reach_you\"><\/span>Messages from that person will not reach you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you block a person on Facebook, their messages will no longer reach you. However, you can still see previous messages they sent you. If you have blocked someone, their profile image will look like a question mark and their name will have black boxes on it. You can unblock someone and start communicating again. But before you do this, you should first know how to block someone on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>First, open the Messenger app on your computer and type the name of the person you want to unfriend. You should find a list of your blocked friend. You can also find out what their profile looks like by searching for them. You should see the person&#8217;s profile picture if you want to see the details of his or her profile. If you are unsure about the reason for blocking someone, you can ask him or her why he or she blocked you. But, you should not push them to unfriend you, as it may result in further friction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_wont_be_able_to_post_on_your_timeline\"><\/span>They won&#8217;t be able to post on your timeline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Generally, blocking someone on Facebook stops them from seeing your timeline, posts, or comments, but there are some circumstances where it is not the best idea. First, if you&#8217;ve blocked someone&#8217;s profile, you won&#8217;t see their posts or comments, and this means that you won&#8217;t be able to communicate with them through any means. This includes Facebook apps, games, and groups. You should also keep in mind that blocking someone doesn&#8217;t completely prevent them from seeing your posts or comments, and if they&#8217;ve posted on your Wall, the content will still appear without their name.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in blocking someone on Facebook is to confirm your decision. By clicking the three-dot menu next to the person&#8217;s name, you will see a drop-down menu. Click &#8220;Block this person&#8221; and confirm your decision. Once your block is confirmed, the person will no longer be able to post to your timeline. This prevents unwanted messages from coming through.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_wont_be_able_to_contact_you_via_Messenger\"><\/span>They won&#8217;t be able to contact you via Messenger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Blocking someone on Facebook won&#8217;t prevent them from contacting you on Messenger, but it does stop communication. This is true on both ends. You can still view any message threads that you&#8217;ve started with that person, but they can&#8217;t send you messages or contact you through Messenger. Using Messenger to block someone is a quick way to remove them from your contacts list.<\/p>\n<p>To block someone, first go to their profile page and tap the conversation. Next, tap on the &#8220;unblock&#8221; icon in the Message Requests section. Tap on it to confirm. If you&#8217;re blocking someone for the first time, Facebook will notify you when they&#8217;ve been blocked. You can then decide whether to join a group chat or not. You can also block people in a group chat.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_wont_be_able_to_see_your_profile\"><\/span>They won&#8217;t be able to see your profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you block someone on Facebook, they won&#8217;t be able to see it anymore, but they can still see your profile and posts. If you&#8217;ve been tagging each other on Facebook and want to make it public, you can just go to their profile and untag them. Then, when they do a search, they&#8217;ll see your blocked profile.<\/p>\n<p>After you block someone on Facebook, you can&#8217;t add them back. However, if you&#8217;ve gotten their email address, you can still see their profile. If you use Google to search for them, you can find their email address and password. You can also log in to their profile and see what their pictures look like. If you don&#8217;t want to see their pictures, you can delete their profile.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_unblock_them_later\"><\/span>You can unblock them later<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve blocked someone on Facebook, you can unblock them later if you wish. Just follow the steps below to confirm the action. First, log into the Facebook website. Next, click on the down arrow icon and choose Account Settings. Click on the Blocking tab, which has a red caution circle next to it. Then, tap the Unblock button to the right of the person&#8217;s name. Once you&#8217;ve confirmed the action, you can select &#8220;Unblock.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another way to block a person on Facebook is to hide them from your timeline. This option is less confrontational than blocking someone permanently. After you hide someone from your timeline, they will not be able to see any of your posts or replies. It&#8217;s also a little more convenient than blocking them altogether. However, it&#8217;s important to note that blocking someone on Facebook will permanently block them from seeing all of your posts, comments, and photos.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"526\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kF5bwRGFRQ8\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Happens When You Block Someone on Facebook?
