How to Unblock Someone on Facebook

On Facebook you have the ability to block an application or a friend from showing up in your news feed. This is a benefit if that person makes a lot of posts on an application or if you don't want to see an apps updates. However, you may accidently block an application you still wanted to see, so this is how you can unblock them (or a friend)

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Sign in to Facebook. Make sure you are on your news feed page.

2. First look through your news feed to make sure the person or the application you want to unblock wasn't actually there. They may not have had a lot of posts lately or were just hidden amongst your other posts.

3. If the person or application is definitely not showing up in your newsfeed then scroll to the very bottom of your Facebook page.

4. At the bottom of your Facebook news feed you will see a light blue bar that says Older Posts with an arrow pointing down and to the right it will say Edit Options. Click on Edit Options.

5. You will get a pop up that shows you who is hidden from your news feed. The first page will show you friends that are blocked and then there is a tab at the top that says Applications. Click on that to see which applications you have blocked.

6. When you have someone blocked from your news feed it does not mean they are no longer your friend, they are. They can still see what you are posting and are still your friend, you just cannot see what they are posting on Facebook.

7. Find the person you have blocked and click Add To News Feed. This will bring them back to your news feed so you can see their updates.

8. If you want a friend to show up in your news feed but hate seeing all of their application updates, you can hide that particular application by clicking Hide next to their post, then selecting hide ******* (application) instead of hide ***** (their name).
