Blocking someone on Facebook Messenger can be helpful in maintaining your privacy, safety, and protecting yourself from unwanted interactions. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to block someone on Messenger, follow the step-by-step guide below.

Step 1: Open the Facebook Messenger App

The first step is to open the Facebook Messenger app on your mobile device. Ensure that you are logged in to your Facebook account.

Step 2: Find the Person You Want to Block

Scroll through your chat list or use the search bar to find the person you want to block. Once you have located their profile, tap on it to open the chat screen.

Step 3: Access the User’s Profile

On the chat screen, tap on the user’s profile picture or name at the top of the screen. This will redirect you to their profile page.

Step 4: Choose the “Block” Option

On the user’s profile page, tap on the three-dot menu icon located at the top-right corner of the screen. A dropdown menu will appear, and from there, select the “Block” option.

Step 5: Confirm Blocking

A pop-up confirmation message will appear, asking you to confirm the action. Read through the information provided to ensure you want to proceed with blocking the user. If you are sure about your decision, tap on the “Block on Messenger” option.

Step 6: Confirm Blocking on Facebook

Blocking the user on Messenger will prevent them from sending you messages, but it won’t block them on Facebook entirely. To restrict their access to your Facebook profile, you can choose the “Block on Facebook” option. This step is optional but recommended if you want to avoid any further interactions with the person.

Step 7: Blocked Successfully

Once you have completed the previous steps, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that the user has been successfully blocked. From this point onwards, you will no longer receive messages or calls from the blocked person on Messenger.

How to Unblock Someone on Messenger?

If you change your mind or want to remove the block on someone, follow the steps below to unblock them:

Step 1: Open Messenger and Go to Settings

Launch the Messenger app and go to the settings menu by tapping on your profile picture in the top-left corner of the screen.

Step 2: Access “Blocking”

In the settings menu, scroll down until you find the “Blocking” option. Tap on it to proceed.

Step 3: Locate the Blocked Person

Under the “Block Users” section, you will find a list of people you have blocked. Find the person you want to unblock from the list.

Step 4: Unblock the User

Tap the “Unblock” button next to the user’s name. A confirmation pop-up will appear, asking if you want to unblock them. Confirm your choice by tapping “Unblock” again.

And that’s it! You have successfully unblocked the person, and they will be able to contact you through Messenger again.

  • Remember, blocking and unblocking a person on Messenger does not affect your Facebook friendship status. They will still be on your friend list if you were previously connected on Facebook.
  • Blocking someone on Messenger doesn’t prevent them from viewing your Facebook profile or interacting with you through other Facebook features.
  • You have the option to report abusive or harassing messages to Facebook by following their reporting process.

Blocking someone on Messenger can help you maintain a safe and comfortable online environment. Use this step-by-step guide whenever you need to take control of who can contact you on Facebook Messenger.
