How to unblock someone off facebook

Facebook is the world’s most popular social network, and with that comes a load of problems. Not only do you have to deal with all the regular trolls you find online, but crazy exes, stalkers, and fake profiles looking to con you are all permanent fixtures....

Thankfully, you can block these kinds of users. Let’s look at how.

What Does a Block Do?

When you block someone on Facebook:

• They are no longer to see your posts or visit your profile.
• They can’t find your profile in search.
• They can’t message you with Facebook Messenger.
• They can’t add you as a friend.
• They can’t poke you, tag you, invite you to events or otherwise interact with you.
• You automatically unfriend and unfollow them.

If that sounds like what you want, read on.
