Now you want to unblock someone from Facebook and connect again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this simple tutorial, we will show you exactly how you can unblock someone on Facebook. As it may be annoying to find the unblock option as it is hidden deep down in the settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/randomtools.io\/blog\/unfriend-someone-facebook\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">How to unfriend someone on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-unblock-someone-from-facebook-on-desktop\">How to unblock someone from Facebook on Desktop?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Unblocking someone allows that user to communicate with you in messages, tag you in their posts, see your timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blocking a person on Facebook can automatically unfriend the person and both of you can not see each other as if you are invisible to each other on Facebook. But unblocking will not make you add to their friend list. You will have to send a friend request again after unblocking to be on each other&#8217;s friend list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are steps you can follow to unblock someone from Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to log in to your <a aria-label=\"Facebook  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Facebook<\/a> account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot-from-2021-04-08-17-33-50-1024x527.png\" alt=\"Unblock someone from Facebook\" class=\"wp-image-1454\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot-from-2021-04-08-17-33-50-1024x527.png 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot-from-2021-04-08-17-33-50-300x155.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot-from-2021-04-08-17-33-50-768x396.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot-from-2021-04-08-17-33-50.png 1299w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now select the account icon from the top right-hand side corner of the website, and select the <strong>Settings and Privacy<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"525\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-from-2021-01-28-16-44-47-1024x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1292\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-from-2021-01-28-16-44-47-1024x525.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-from-2021-01-28-16-44-47-300x154.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-from-2021-01-28-16-44-47-768x394.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-from-2021-01-28-16-44-47.jpg 1299w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now select the <strong>Settings<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"377\" height=\"443\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-from-2021-01-28-16-45-16.jpg\" alt=\"Settings and privacy\" class=\"wp-image-1293\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-from-2021-01-28-16-45-16.jpg 377w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-from-2021-01-28-16-45-16-255x300.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now select the <strong>Blocking<\/strong> option on the left-hand side section.
