If you're tired of seeing certain people's posts or comments on Facebook, you can block them to maintain a more positive and comfortable online experience.

To start, go to the person's profile page and click the three dots on the right side of their cover photo.

From there, a menu will drop down, and you can select "Block [Name]" to prevent them from seeing your posts and interacting with you on Facebook.

Blocking on Facebook

To block someone from the menu, you'll need to find and click "Privacy" on the left sidebar, and select "Blocking." From there, you can click the "Edit" button next to "Block users" and add the person to your blocked list by typing their name and clicking "Block."

Alternatively, you can block someone from their Facebook profile. To do this, you'll need to search for their profile using the search bar in the top-left corner, click the three dots on the right side of the screen, and select "Block." A pop-up menu will appear, and you can confirm your choice by clicking the blue "Confirm" button.

It's worth noting that when you block someone, you won't be able to see their posts or messages, and they won't be able to see yours. They also won't receive a notification that they've been blocked, unless they try to interact with you in some way.

Here's a quick rundown of the steps to block someone on Facebook:

  • Go to the Facebook menu and select "Settings & privacy"
  • Click "Settings" and then "Privacy"
  • Select "Blocking" and click "Edit" next to "Block users"
  • Add the person to your blocked list by typing their name and clicking "Block"
  • Or, search for their profile, click the three dots, and select "Block"

Remove from Website

To remove someone from Facebook on the website, you can follow these steps. You can only unblock a Facebook account if you've blocked it, so make sure to check your blocked list first.

You'll need to access your account settings page to unblock someone. Click on your profile picture in the upper-right corner of your screen, then click on Settings and privacy from the drop-down menu.

From there, click on Settings to access your account settings page, and then click on Blocking from the list of options on the left of your screen. You'll see a list of options, including Block users.

To unblock someone, click on Edit next to Block users, then click on See your blocked list. Find the person you want to unblock and click on Unblock next to their name.
