How to Unblock Someone on Facebook

Blocked users cannot find you in search results.

Blocking a Facebook user stops him from seeing your profile or sending you any form of communication on the social networking site. When someone is blocked from your profile, you essentially become invisible to him. The function is helpful for stopping harassment or just keeping people you don't like from requesting a friendship. If you change your mind about a blocked user, unblocking him takes just a few seconds. An unblocked user sees you on Facebook again immediately.

Instructions

1. Sign in to your account at Facebook.com. Click on the "Account" drop-down menu on the top-right corner of the Facebook page, which sits at the top of every page on the site.

2. Click on the "Privacy Settings" link in the Account menu.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click the "Edit your lists" link in the Block Lists section.

4. Go to the Block Users section. Click the "Unblock" link immediately to the right of a person's name. Click "Confirm" when prompted by Facebook.

Tips & Warnings

• If you were previously friends with the person you unblock, unblocking does not restore your connection. A new friend request must be initiated.
