You can unblock someone on Facebook from the app or a browser in just a few taps/clicks. Here’s a clear, step‑by‑step guide.

How do I unblock someone on Facebook?

Fast steps (mobile app)

  1. Open the Facebook app and make sure you’re logged in.
  1. Tap your profile/menu icon (bottom‑right on iPhone, top‑right on Android).
  1. Scroll down and tap Settings & privacy, then tap Settings.
  1. Scroll to the Audience and visibility or Privacy section and tap Blocking.
  1. You’ll see a list of people you’ve blocked. Find the person you want and tap Unblock next to their name.
  1. Confirm by tapping Unblock again in the pop‑up.

After this, they’re unblocked: they can see your profile and contact you again, depending on your privacy settings.

On a computer (facebook.com)

  1. Go to facebook.com and log in.
  1. Click your profile photo or the down‑arrow/menu in the top‑right.
  1. Click Settings & privacy, then Settings.
  1. In the left‑hand menu, click Privacy or directly Blocking (the wording may differ slightly, but look for “Blocking”).
  1. In Blocked users , click See your blocked list or just view the list shown.
  1. Click Unblock next to the person’s name.
  1. When the confirmation box appears, click Confirm.

What happens after you unblock?

  • You and the other person can see each other’s profiles again, depending on privacy settings.
  • They can message you and interact with your content again, unless you adjust other limits (like messaging controls).
  • Unblocking does not automatically add them back as a friend; you’ll need to send a new friend request if you want to reconnect that way.

Mini “Quick Scoop” story

Imagine you blocked someone during a heated comment thread a year ago. Now things are calmer, you’ve talked in real life, and you decide to undo the digital wall. You hop into Settings → Blocking , hit Unblock , and just like that, they’re back in your online world—though you still stay in control with your privacy settings if you want some healthy distance.

TL;DR:
Go to Settings → Blocking → Unblock next to their name, then confirm—on mobile or desktop the idea is the same.
