When you block someone on Facebook, it essentially means that you’re preventing them from being able to interact with you in any way on the platform. This includes preventing them from seeing your profile, sending you messages, commenting on your posts, or tagging you in photos. The process of blocking someone is relatively straightforward, but what the blocked individual sees can vary depending on the situation.
Here are some of the things that someone might see when you block them on Facebook:
- Unable to Find Your Profile
When you block someone on Facebook, they won’t be able to find your profile anymore. If they try to search for you by name, username, or email address, they’ll get an error message saying that no results were found. It will appear as if you’ve deleted your account or never existed in the first place.
- Inability to Send Friend Requests
Another thing that someone will notice when you block them on Facebook is that they won’t be able to send you a friend request. If they try to send you a friend request, they’ll receive an error message telling them that the request cannot be sent.
- Unable to Send Messages
If someone is blocked on Facebook, they won’t be able to send you messages anymore. When they try to send you a message, they’ll get an error message saying that the message cannot be sent. However, if you have a conversation with the person before blocking them, the conversation will still be visible in your inbox, but you won’t receive any new messages from them.
- Not Able to See Your Posts
When you block someone on Facebook, they won’t be able to see any of your posts or updates on your timeline. If they try to visit your profile, they’ll see a message saying that the content is unavailable. They also won’t be able to like or comment on any of your posts, and they won’t be able to tag you in any of their posts or photos.
- Notified That They’re Blocked
When someone is blocked on Facebook, they’ll receive a notification telling them that they’ve been blocked. This notification is visible only to the person who has been blocked and is not visible to anyone else. The notification will appear as a pop-up window when they try to interact with your profile or send you a message.
- Mutual Friends List
If you and the person you’ve blocked have mutual friends on Facebook, they’ll still be able to see your mutual friends list. However, they won’t be able to access your profile or any of your posts through these mutual friends’ accounts.
- Unfriended by Accident
It’s worth noting that blocking someone on Facebook is not the same thing as unfriending them. If you accidentally unfriend someone on Facebook, they’ll still be able to find your profile and send you friend requests. They’ll also be able to see your posts if they visit your profile directly.
In conclusion, when you block someone on Facebook, they won’t be able to see your profile, send you messages, or interact with you in any way. They’ll receive a notification telling them that they’ve been blocked, and they won’t be able to access any of your posts or updates. If you have mutual friends, they’ll still be able to see your mutual friends list, but they won’t be able to access your profile through these mutual friends’ accounts.
