Facebook is a powerful platform and great means of keeping in contact with friends and family. However, it does have its cons and you might have blocked people when they got a little too annoying. If you want to reverse that action, here's how to unblock someone on Facebook.
Unblocking someone on Facebook
You'll be shown how to unblock on Facebook using either an iOS or Android device, or still, a Desktop.
For iOS and Android
- Open your Facebook application
- Click the menu bar on the bottom-right corner of the screen (iPhone) or on the top-right corner of the screen (Android)
- Scroll down to find and select Settings. This step is non-existent on Android devices
- Click Account Settings
- Select Blocking
- Click the Unblock button to unblock any user you wish to not block anymore
- Click the Unblock button
For Desktop
- Sign in to your Facebook account by visiting the Facebook website and entering your sign in details
- Click the downward facing arrow on the top right corner
- Select Settings from the drop-down menu
- Click Blocking on the left side of your screen
- Click the Unblock button
- Click the Confirm button
Note however that you do not automatically become friends with unblocked users. To be friends once again, you have to send them a friend request. Also, if you mistakenly unblock a user you do not want unblocked, you'll have to wait 48 hours to block the user again.
