If you're a social media user, the chances are high that at some point in your online life, someone has blocked you on Facebook.

What does it mean when they block you?

When one person blocks another, that individual becomes invisible to them and all posts made by the blocker appear only for themselves and their followers. This means that what was once a mutual relationship is now out of your radar.

How to tell if someone blocked you on Facebook? The answer to these questions and more will be answered in this blog post. We will discuss some useful techniques to know if someone has blocked you on Facebook or not.

What's the Difference between Blocked and Unfriended?

Blocking someone and unfriending someone are two different things. When someone blocks you on Facebook, the same as blocked you on Instagram, they will completely vanish from Facebook. You won't be able to text them, contact them or see their posts.

However their old comments on your post will exist, but you won't be able to see what they are sharing on social media in real-time.

On the other hand, If someone unfriends you, they've simply deleted me off of their friend's list. But I can still find them and see what posts of the mutual friends are public by looking at that person's profile or using location tracking to follow where they go.

How Do You Know if Someone Blocked You on Facebook?

These are some ways to find out if someone has blocked you on Facebook. Let's check them out!

1. Search Their Profile

If you had a recent conversation with them or have recently disagreed, search their profile and see what comes up. You may not be able to do this successfully in some cases though; like when the person closed their account.

Go search their profile using methods such as typing in a few friends' profiles or looking up another person with common connections.

2. Check Posts and Comments

Your Facebook profile is a timeline of your friendship with someone. You'll still be able to see this person's activity on your wall if they've been blocked. If the other party has ever posted anything or commented anywhere as black bold text rather than being clickable links like their names usually are, then that means that they have blocked you.

If they have unfriended you, the posts and comments from mutual friends will also show up normally so go through all past content at once for any changes.

3. Check Old Conversations in the Group

When you're blocked on Facebook, the best way to check is by scrolling through your past messages. You can tell if a person has been blocked from seeing your posts and texts with just one tweak in settings.

To know if we've been "blocked" on Facebook or not, scroll back through our old text message threads until landing at their profile.

4. Ask Common Friends for Help

If nothing comes up when searching them by name or just clicking through friend suggestions, then keep trying different people who might know about mutual acquaintances. Sometimes somebody will give information.

How Do You Block Someone On Facebook?

Facebook can be a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, but sometimes you might want some time away from certain people. If that's the case then it may make sense for you to block them on Facebook so they cannot contact or view your profile!

Step 2: Select "Settings and Privacy". Click on "Edit" next to "Blocking" on this page.

Step 3: Now click on "Block Lists", you will see "Add a username".

Step 4: By taping on block someone's name who you want to block, the user will be blocked permanently on Facebook.

3. What Happens When You Block Someone On Facebook?

When you block someone on Facebook, they will disappear from your feed as if they never existed. They won't be able to see any of the posts that are created by you. Also, all their likes and comments that they had previously made on your posts will vanish too.

This is what happens when a person blocks another user. It is like cutting off contact between them forever without ever having to say goodbye in person. All of their posts will vanish from your feed so unless you are stalking them it becomes pretty hard for them to find out what is going in your life.

In short, when you block someone on Facebook, all communication stops there!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How Do I Know If Someone Blocked Me Or Deactivated?

Sometimes we suspect that our friends have blocked us on Facebook, but it's hard to know for sure. One trick is searching through your Friends' list and seeing if their profile appears in the search results or not.

If they have deactivated their account, you'll find their account there as normal. But if they have blocked you, you won't find their profile.

Q2. Can I See Someone Who Blocked Me On Facebook?

Yes, you can see who has blocked you on Facebook. The easiest way to find out is by typing their name in a search bar located at the top of the Facebook homepage.

If they don't show up anywhere else within that website and you cannot see private messages or posts as well then it means that the person has blocked you.

Q3. How Can I Message Someone Who Has Blocked Me On Facebook?

Sending messages to people who have blocked you on Facebook is surprisingly easy. Simply type the person's email address into the to box in your standard message, and then write what you want to say in a subject-less email body as usual.

The receiver will get your message in the "other" folder and they will be able to read your message like all other normal messages. They will respond to you if they like by unblocking you.

Q4. When Someone Blocks You On Facebook Can They Still See Your Posts?

Absolutely No. If somebody blocks you, then that person will not be able to see anything new from your profile. They cannot start conversations with you until they unblock you and add you as a friend again in the future.

Q5. Can I Temporarily Block Someone On Facebook?

Unfortunately no. You can't block someone temporarily. If you block someone, all of the contacts on Facebook and messenger will be terminated.

Blocking someone while keeping them on a friend list is not possible. However, you can manually unblock them.

Conclusion

In the above-detailed blog post, we have discussed a few ways about how to find out if someone blocks you on Facebook. It is a heartache to be blocked and you cannot help yourself to unblock your account then you should respect their decision.
