No matter how much effort you put in, there will always be individuals with whom you end up having conflicts. In such situations, if you’re connected with these people, blocking them on Facebook might have been your typical response. However, if you’re ready to mend fences, unblocking these users is a positive first move. Facebook’s interface has evolved significantly over the years, and if you’re struggling to figure out how to unblock someone, this guide should assist you. Let’s dive in!
If you primarily use the web version of Facebook, here’s how you can unblock a blocked user:
1. Go to the Facebook website using your preferred web browser. Tap on your profile icon located in the upper right corner.
2. From the dropdown menu, choose “Settings & Privacy.“
3. Then, choose “Settings.“
4. Scroll down to the “Blocking” section under the “Audience and visibility” panel in the left sidebar and click on it.
5. In the right panel, find the “Block users” option and click “Edit” next to it.
6. Select “See your blocked list” to view the complete list of people you’ve blocked on Facebook.
7. Locate the account(s) you want to unblock and click the “Unblock” button next to them.
8. Click the blue “Confirm” button on the next page to unblock them.
The simplest way to unblock a blocked user is through the Facebook mobile app for Android and iOS, which is faster and more straightforward. The process is the same on both platforms, with minor interface differences we’ll clarify in the steps below. Here, we’ll outline the steps using an Android device:
1. Open the Facebook app on your device and tap your profile icon at the top right corner (bottom right on iOS).
2. Tap the settings cogwheel icon and scroll down to find the “Blocking” section under the “Audience and Visibility” panel.
3. You’ll see a list of all the people you’ve blocked on the platform.
4. Tap the “Unblock” button next to the Facebook account you want to unblock.
5. In the confirmation popup window, tap “Unblock” again.
Follow these steps, and you’ll quickly unblock your frenemies on the platform. Facebook also reminds you that your tags with the person are restored, and they can view your profile again if it’s public.
If you’ve blocked trolls or online bullies, keeping them blocked is likely best for your peace of mind. Please share in the comments if this guide was helpful to you!
