Facebook is a popular social network where people from all over the world can interact and chat with each other. In some cases, you may find yourself being “ignored” or forgotten by some long-time-no-see friends. 

Is it possible that they have blocked you on Facebook? How can you know if you have been blocked on Facebook? How can you reconnect with them?

1. What does it mean to be blocked on Facebook?

The block feature on Facebook is designed to ensure privacy and maintain a safe virtual space. With this feature, you can block accounts that you do not want to interact with or stay away from annoying clone accounts sending spam messages. 

When you are blocked by another user on Facebook, you will face some significant limitations. You will not be able to access the blocked person’s profile, send messages, make video calls, or voice calls via Messenger. Even searching for their name in the browser will yield no results. This means you cannot view, comment, or share any content on their timeline.

Signs that you are blocked on Facebook.

The most obvious sign that you have been blocked on Facebook is when you receive a notification saying “This person is currently unavailable on Messenger” or “You cannot reply to this conversation when sending a message to the other party.”

Facebook distinguishes two types of blocks: 

  • Block on Facebook (cannot access timeline, friend or tag)
  • Block on Messenger (cannot send messages, make calls).

This article will focus on the signs of being blocked on Facebook. 

2. Signs that you are blocked on Facebook

2.1. Try searching for the Facebook name

Use Facebook’s search function to enter the name of the account you want to check.

If you are blocked, you will not see the Facebook information of that person in the search results.

To eliminate the possibility that the person is currently locking their account, you should use a secondary account to search for their name again. 

In case the secondary account finds the person’s profile and they are still active normally, copy the Facebook link and send it back to yourself. 

Continue to access the Facebook link with your main account. If the screen displays “You cannot view this content” it means they have completely blocked you.

2.2. Check via Messenger

You can perform this check if both people have previously talked and the other person has not blocked you on Messenger.

Follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Go to the Messenger icon, find the message with the account you suspect is blocking you

  • Step 2: Select the three-dot icon, click View Profile
  • Step 3: If the screen displays “This page does not exist” it means you are blocked on Facebook.

2.3. Use mutual friend lists

If you and the person have mutual friends, this checking method is quite easy. Follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Go to the profile of a mutual friend
  • Step 2: Go to the Friends section, press Mutual Friends, then search for the name of the friend you want to check in the Search box

  • Step 3: If no results are displayed, it is possible that you have been blocked.

Note: This method is not effective if the person you suspect does not set their friend list to “Public”. If they set it to “Only Me”, their name will not appear in the mutual friend list. 

3. Conclusion

There are many reasons why you may not be able to find someone’s Facebook account. Therefore, before concluding that they have blocked you on Facebook, carefully check with the suggested methods above. 

Hope this article helps you solve the confusion about the signs of being blocked on Facebook and how to view the person who blocked you on Facebook. Don’t hesitate to share it on social media so that more people know about this useful trick. Wish you success!

Frequently asked questions

There are a few signs that may indicate you’ve been blocked. Firstly, you can’t see their profile, send friend requests, or message them. You also won’t see their posts in your News Feed. If you try to tag them, you won’t find their name, and mutual friends won’t appear in their profile picture.

When you block someone, they will no longer be able to see your profile, posts, or contact you. They won’t be notified of the block, but they may notice that your profile is unavailable and your posts are missing from their News Feed.

No, once someone blocks you, their entire profile and all associated content will be hidden from your view. This includes any previous posts they made that you might have been able to see before the block.

If someone has blocked you, it’s best to respect their decision and refrain from attempting to contact them through other means. Facebook provides the option to block users to ensure privacy and safety, so it’s important to honor that.

Facebook doesn’t provide a direct way to know who has blocked you. However, if you suspect someone has blocked you, you can try searching for their profile using a different account or a friend’s account. If their profile doesn’t appear in the search results, it’s likely that you’ve been blocked.
