How to See Who You've Blocked on Facebook

While using Facebook, you might sometimes encounter people you don't want to interact with. In such situations, blocking is a common solution. Facebook also stores a complete list of all the people you've blocked in the past. You can access this list and unblock someone if you wish. Let's find out how to do it below.

How to View Your Blocked List on Facebook

To view a list of people you've blocked on your PC, simply follow these steps.

First, launch any web browser and go to Facebook. Then, log in to your account if necessary.

After successfully logging in, in the upper right corner of the Facebook interface, click the downward-pointing arrow icon.

In the dropdown menu, click ' Settings and privacy '.

From the ' Settings and Privacy ' menu, select ' Settings '.

In the sidebar menu on the left side of the screen, click on the ' Block ' item.

In the ' Blocked Users ' section on the right, you'll see a list of all the people you've blocked on Facebook.

On the same page, under the ' Block messages ' section, you can see the people you've blocked from sending messages on Facebook Messenger.

If you're looking to unblock someone on Messenger or Facebook, simply click the ' Unblock ' button next to their name in the list.

How to View Your Blocked List on the Facebook Mobile App

To check the list of Facebook accounts you've blocked on your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone, simply do the following.

To begin, open the Facebook app on your phone. In the app interface, tap the three horizontal lines button. On iPhones and iPads, this button is located in the bottom right corner. On Android, you'll find it in the top right corner of the screen.

In the menu that appears, scroll to the bottom and tap ' Settings and Privacy '.

Next, tap on ' Settings '.

From the " Audiences and Visibility " section, click " Block ".

On the ' Block ' page, you will now see a list of the people you have blocked from your account.

To unblock someone, tap the ' Unblock ' option next to their name.

How Long Does It Take Until You Can Block an Account That Was Recently Unblocked?

If you recently tried to give someone a second chance, but their online actions reminded you of why you blocked them the first time, you won't be able to put them back on your blocked list anytime soon. According to Facebook's guidelines, the company doesn't allow users to re-block recently unblocked accounts until at least 48 hours have passed.

Alternative Actions to Blocking a User

Blocking someone on social media might seem a bit extreme. They'll know they've been blocked when they search for you in their friend list, leading to some awkward situations in the real world. There are other, gentler ways to remove someone from your daily news feed.

Snooze (Temporarily Hides for 30 Days)

If you're sure someone's just had a bad day or needs time to vent, you can use the Snooze feature to temporarily hide them from your view. You can do this by tapping or clicking the three dots in the top right corner of one of the user's posts and selecting Snooze (username) for 30 days . Once enabled, you won't see their posts for a month, but you'll still be visible in their news feed and friends list.

Unfollow

If you want to continue effectively hiding someone beyond the first 30 days, then unfollowing is what you're after. Start by clicking or tapping the three dots in the top right corner of one of the user's posts. By unfollowing someone, you can hide their posts from your news feed, but you can still stay in touch. This is easily reversible if you change your mind.

Unfriend

If you absolutely dislike someone's online jokes, you can completely remove them from your digital life. Begin the unfriending process by finding the person in question and visiting their profile page.

In the upper right corner, below their cover photo, click the Friends button.

Select the "Unfriend" option to end the online relationship.
