What is how to unblock someone on messenger?

Unblocking someone on Messenger is a straightforward process, whether you're using the mobile app or the desktop version. Here's how to do it:

  • Using the Messenger Mobile App:

    1. Open the Messenger app on your smartphone.
    2. Tap your profile picture (usually located in the top left corner).
    3. Scroll down and select "Settings".
    4. Look for and tap on "Privacy & safety".
    5. Within Privacy, you'll find "Blocked accounts" or simply "Blocked". Tap on it.
    6. You'll see a list of all the people you've blocked. Find the person you want to unblock.
    7. Tap on the person's name.
    8. Tap the "Unblock on Messenger" button. If you also blocked them on Facebook, you'll see an option to unblock them there as well.
  • Using the Messenger Desktop Version (Website or App):

    1. Open Messenger in your web browser or the desktop app.
    2. Click on your profile picture (usually in the top left corner).
    3. Select "Settings & privacy".
    4. Click on "Privacy".
    5. Find the "Blocking" section.
    6. You will see a list of the people you have blocked. Find the person you want to unblock.
    7. Click the "Unblock" button next to their name on Messenger. If you have also blocked them on Facebook, there will be an option to unblock there as well.
  • Important Considerations:

    • Once you unblock someone, they will be able to see your profile and contact you again, assuming your other privacy settings allow it.
    • You will need to re-add them as a friend on Facebook (if you had blocked them there as well and want to be friends) before you can see their Facebook posts in your newsfeed.
    • Unblocking someone does not automatically add them back to your friends list or start a new conversation. You'll need to initiate that yourself.
