Unblock A Person On Facebook Guide

Whatever the reason, Facebook buries this setting deep in the menu to prevent accidental unblocks or harassment. But don’t worry—I’ll walk you through every method, whether you’re on a phone, tablet, or computer. Important Note Before You Start: When you unblock someone, Facebook will not automatically re-friend them. You will have to send a new friend request, and they will have to accept it. Also, you cannot block and unblock someone repeatedly in a short period (Facebook imposes a 48-hour cool-down period). Method 1: Unblocking via the Facebook App (iOS & Android) This is the most common method, as over 80% of Facebook users access the platform via mobile.

That’s it. The person is immediately unblocked and can interact with your public content again. Did you know you can unblock someone directly from their profile? But wait—you can’t find their profile if they’re blocked! That’s the catch.
