How to tell if someone has blocked you on Facebook 

To protect users' privacy or the feelings of others, Facebook does not show you who has blocked you. There are no notifications that you have been blocked or a list of users who have blocked your account.


Does the Blank Profile Picture on Messenger Mean Blocked?

First, let's understand that there is a big difference between being blocked and being unfriended. When other users unfriend you, you'll still see their profiles, comments on interactive pages, and any public content they share.


However, if someone blocks your account, you won't see their profile. Or you will not see any comments, interactions, or updates.


In short, if someone blocks you, they effectively disappear on Facebook (at least for you). So if you don't see them on your friends list, you can still see them on the site, you're not blocked; You have become unfriended.


How do you know if someone has blocked you on Facebook?

Unfortunately, it can be challenging for you to differentiate between blocked accounts and deactivated accounts. The common denominator between the two is that they no longer appear on Facebook, you can't message them and you can't see past comments or likes.


While Facebook will not let you know if you have been blocked or if someone else has deleted their account, there are some things that will let you know that you are undoubtedly blocked. Let's get straight into it.


Search their profiles

If a friend no longer appears on your timeline or on your friends list, you should first search their profile using Facebook's user search function. It's not stupid at all, but if you think you've been blocked based on a recent conversation or disagreement, you can be sure that you haven't been befriended.


If the profile does not appear (and you have confirmed that you are searching for the correct name), then either you have been blocked or they have deactivated their account.


Other people can still pull their Facebook account

Ask a friend or family member to pull up their Facebook account. It works best with an indifferent third party, whom they cannot block. When the page appears, their account is not deactivated.


Check your past group messages in Messenger

One of the more conversation signs that you have been blocked is to check past group messages. Drag Facebook Messenger and scroll through your past texts until you reach a message where the person was included. It only works with one group message


The person who blocked you will show up as a 'Facebook user'. Send a message and check a reading receipt from that blank profile. If one appears, you are blocked because their account is still active.


Check out posts and comments

If you've just been unfriended, you'll still see your ex-friend's activity on your wall. Have they ever posted anything on your wall? Have they ever commented on any of your posts? How about posts from mutual friends?


Their posts and comments will not disappear from your page. However, instead of their name appearing as a clickable link, it will appear as black bold text; This is a sure sign that you have been blocked.


You can use the 'Manage Posts' button on your Facebook profile to quickly search for posts by date and tag.


Can anyone tell if you have blocked Messenger?

Facebook Messenger can provide insights into your plight. When you suspect that you have been blocked, you can scroll down for shared messages between the two. Although they will appear instead of their profile, you will see Facebook users.


If you use the search bar in Messenger, type the name of the person you are interested in and they will not appear. This is a key indicator that you have been blocked.


If you try to send them a message, you will receive a message that this person is not receiving Facebook messages. "This person is not available" is a key indicator that your online relationship has ended.


Breaking down how Facebook works for friends, blocks, and everything in between will help you understand if someone has blocked you.


Check out their other social media accounts

Facebook owns Instagram, so a similar policy applies. While it is unlikely that anyone has disabled all of their social media accounts, anyone who is no longer interested in contacting you will probably block you from all of their accounts.


If you visit Instagram, Snapchat, or any other site and their profile does not appear; This is probably because you have been blocked. If you find them there, feel free to send a message asking if they've deactivated their Facebook account.


What do they see when you block someone in Messenger?

When you block someone on Facebook, they will no longer be able to see your profile or your comments, be it in their posts or anyone else's. They will not be notified when you block them so that it is not immediately clear to them, but they will be able to find out once they try to search you or message you.


It will not directly say that you blocked their Facebook Messenger, but it will say that the person is immediately "unavailable". If you are worried that they will get mad at you after you block them, there is another option to block.


You can either unfriend them, spend less time on Facebook, or tell them directly that you still want to be friends personally and slowly fade away until they leave you alone.


Consider multiple methods

There are other explanations for many of the strategies above. We have already mentioned that someone may disappear from your friends list because they have unfriended you. We've also talked about how someone might be anonymous for changing their privacy settings. Account may be suspended or deleted.


Since you can't see their profile, you can't block them in return. However, if the person blocks you and you see their profile, you can block them.


If you're concerned about your online friendship with another person, you can always ask them if they've deactivated their account. Feedback, or lack of feedback, will enlighten you on what is actually happening instead of worrying about it.


Someone is being unblocked

If someone accidentally blocked you, you can follow these steps to unblock someone:


Go to Facebook settings from the app or browser.

Scroll down and click or tap ‘Privacy’.

Scroll down and click or tap 'Blocking'.

Locate the profile in question and click on 'Unblock'

Make sure.


Remember, doing this means you have to wait a short time to block them again. If you block someone from snooping on their profile, they will be able to see you again until you are able to block them again.


Someone said they know who I blocked; How is this possible?

Because Facebook doesn't make your blocking activities public, people on your friends list won't know who you've blocked. The only logical explanation is that other people knew you had blocked them (explained above) and told your acquaintances that they had been blocked.


Of course, the security of Facebook accounts is also not perfect. It is possible that the person in question has logged into your Facebook account and viewed your blocked list. Here's some more information on how to secure your Facebook account.


If someone blocks me on Facebook, can I block them in return?

Unfortunately not. If you are on someone's block list, their profile will not appear in any search results, so you have no option but to block them in return. However, if they unblock you, you can block them. You need to check their profile periodically to see if they have unblocked you. But once they are found, you will have 48 hours to block them. Facebook has a policy that when you unblock someone, you cannot block them again for 48 hours.
