How To Unblock Someone On Facebook App

Unblocking someone on Facebook allows them to once again interact with your profile. This means they can see your posts, send you friend requests, and message you. This guide will walk you through the process of unblocking a person on the Facebook app, regardless of whether you're using an iPhone, Android, or other compatible device.

Finding the Blocked User

Before you can unblock someone, you first need to find their profile. Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't have a dedicated list of blocked users readily accessible. This means you'll need to search for them manually.

  • Use the Facebook search bar: Type the person's name into the search bar at the top of the Facebook app.
  • Check your friend requests (if applicable): If you think they might have sent a friend request after being blocked, check your pending friend requests.

Unblocking on the Facebook Mobile App

Once you've located the profile of the person you want to unblock, follow these steps:

  1. Open their profile: Tap on their name or profile picture to open their profile page.

  2. Locate the "Friends" or "Blocked" button: Depending on your previous interaction with this person and whether you were previously friends, you might see either a "Friends" button or a "Blocked" button. The location of this button is subject to change with Facebook's app updates, so check carefully.

  3. Tap "Unblock": If you see a "Blocked" button, tap on it. This will usually present an option to confirm you want to unblock them. Tap this confirmation button to proceed. If you see a "Friends" button, and you have not previously been friends with this person, the unblocking function may be slightly different or hidden.

  4. Confirm: Facebook might ask you to confirm your decision. This is a safety measure to ensure you are intentionally unblocking the person. Tap "Unblock" again to complete the process.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Can't find the profile? Double-check the spelling of their name. If you still can't find them, they may have deactivated or deleted their Facebook account.
  • Still blocked after following the steps? Try restarting the Facebook app or your device. If the problem persists, contact Facebook's help center for assistance.
  • Update your app: Make sure your Facebook app is up to date, to ensure you have access to the latest unblocking features.

After Unblocking

Keep in mind that unblocking someone doesn't automatically re-add them as a friend. If you wish to re-establish your friendship, you or they will need to send a friend request. Similarly, any previous messages may not be restored. Once unblocked, they will have full access to your public profile, though their interactions are now at their own discretion.

This guide provides a comprehensive approach to unblocking someone on the Facebook mobile app. Remember to double-check your steps and contact Facebook support if needed. We hope this helps!
