Unblock — A Person On Facebook

Click your profile picture in the top right corner. Select Settings & privacy , then click Settings .

We’ve all been there. In a moment of frustration, anger, or the need for digital detox, you hit that "Block" button. It felt right at the time. But feelings change. Maybe you’ve made up after an argument, perhaps you miss their memes, or you simply realized blocking your mom over a political debate was a bit extreme.

Go to facebook.com and log in to your account.

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.
