Well, there are many ways to do this. One way is to block them from seeing your posts. Then, you can check your friends list and see who has blocked you. If you want to re-establish a relationship, you can also unblock the person who blocked you. You can read this article if you want to learn how to do this.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_block_someone_on_Facebook_without_them_knowing\"><\/span>How to block someone on Facebook without them knowing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Blocking someone on Facebook automatically unfriends them from your page. You can do this quickly without telling them that you blocked them. Besides, it&#8217;s not a very public action so they won&#8217;t even know that you&#8217;ve blocked them. Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/p>\n<p>Open Messenger and navigate to the conversation window. Click on the person&#8217;s profile picture to see their full profile details. Click &#8220;People&#8221; and then select &#8220;Blocked&#8221; or &#8220;Add someone&#8221;. You can also search for the person&#8217;s name to see if they&#8217;ve been blocked. Scroll down to find them on your list. If they haven&#8217;t been blocked on Messenger yet, there&#8217;s no need to worry because their messages will still be visible.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to unfriend someone, you can block them from your friends&#8217; list instead. Then, select &#8216;Block&#8217; in the dropdown menu next to their name. You can also block the person from any other list they&#8217;re in. But it&#8217;s not that easy to block someone. You&#8217;ll need to be careful to block them, or they won&#8217;t be able to unfriend you.<\/p>\n<p>The steps above are not recommended, as they breach Facebook&#8217;s Terms of Service. They may also result in your main account being banned, blacklisted for thirty days, and disabled from posting. If you&#8217;re sure that you&#8217;ve accidentally blocked someone on Facebook, it&#8217;s a good idea to create a new account and message them on there. Remember to be polite and avoid feeling like you&#8217;re pushing them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_your_friends_list_to_see_whos_blocked_you_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Checking your friends list to see who&#8217;s blocked you on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering if someone has blocked you on Facebook, the easiest way to find out is to search your friends list. You can look through your friends list to see who has blocked you, search for common friends, or deactivate the entire account. Once you&#8217;ve located the blocked person, you can contact them. This way, you can be sure you&#8217;re not being blocked by someone you know.<\/p>\n<p>You can also check your outgoing messages to find out who&#8217;s blocked you. In the outgoing message section of your Facebook account, you&#8217;ll see a check icon inside the circle icon. You can also look at your profile to find out who&#8217;s blocked you. The icon will be red if a person has blocked you, so if you&#8217;re concerned, it&#8217;s best to avoid sending them messages.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to check if someone has blocked you on Facebook is to check your mutual friends list. If the person is in your friends list, you&#8217;ll find a link underneath your profile picture or cover photo. If the person doesn&#8217;t show up, it means they&#8217;ve blocked you or they&#8217;ve changed their privacy settings. If you can&#8217;t find the person, log out of Facebook and perform a public search.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_someone_youve_blocked_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Unblocking someone you&#8217;ve blocked on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to unblock someone you&#8217;ve blocked on Facebook without them realizing it. First, you must open up the conversation between you and the person. Scroll down to the bottom of the conversation and click the three dots. Then, send them a friend request. If you&#8217;ve blocked them on Facebook, you won&#8217;t be able to contact them. Then, you can use Messenger to contact them, but the first method is safer.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve blocked someone, they won&#8217;t know that you&#8217;ve done it. You&#8217;ll have to visit their Facebook profile and tap on the &#8220;Privacy Center&#8221; link. Next, choose &#8220;Account Settings.&#8221; Once you&#8217;ve changed the privacy settings, the blocked user will be unable to view or contact your timeline or contact you. You can also restore or remove previous tags and activities from their activity log.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve made this change, you can&#8217;t unblock the person again. Once you&#8217;ve blocked them, they won&#8217;t be able to unblock you again for 48 hours. If you want to unblock someone, proceed with caution, however. Changing your mind about blocking a person can lead to unpleasant results. You&#8217;ll have to make a second attempt if you&#8217;re not satisfied with the results.<\/p>\n<p><iframe height=\"266\" width=\"475\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hm8iTmBHesY\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Block Someone on Facebook Without Them Realizing?
