2] Viewing Your Block List
- You can view the list of Facebook users you have blocked in the Block users list in Facebook settings.
- You can only view a thumbnail image and the full name of the user you have blocked. So, you can decide whether to unblock them based on the thumbnail of their profile picture and full name.
- You can unblock them to get more information about them by going through their profile if they have not locked it, and you can permanently block them back again.
3] Managing Your Block List
- Once you have viewed the list of blocked users in the Block users list, you can manage your block list by unblocking users, adding new blocks, or adjusting block settings.
- You can also click on the search button to type the name of the person you have blocked to find the user quickly without having to scroll.
- Once you have unblocked someone, depending on your privacy settings, the user could be able to access your timeline or get in touch with you.
- You may restore tags that you and the user have previously added to each other.
On your activity log, you can take yourself out of tags.
Conclusion
You can block someone on Facebook to stop many interactions with their profile, but you may still see what they shared. You will still see messages where your inbox will retain the history of any messages you have sent to a blocked profile.
In addition to enabling you to entirely block someone’s access to your account and their material, blocking them also prohibits them from ever being able to view or interact with your account. It is always important to know who you have blocked as you cannot find the person anywhere on Facebook if you forget you have blocked them. So, users should regularly check and manage their block list for the optimal Facebook experience.
Why Can’t I Block Someone Getting a Block Error on Facebook?
Facebook does not allow you to block someone if you recently unblocked them and then attempted to block them again within the previous 48 hours. Remember that you cannot block someone on Facebook again for 48 hours after unblocking them. So, wait for the mentioned period and then block the person.
Why Am I Unable to See Someone Who Is Blocked?
Even if you have attempted to unblock the person, there are still a few reasons why you cannot view their profile. You cannot view their profile in either of the two most likely scenarios: either they are blocking you or have deleted their account.
