Sometimes, it’s necessary to review your list of blocked people on Facebook to block and restrict strangers from contacting you. You might want to unblock someone due to a resolved conflict, check if you’ve previously blocked someone by mistake, or manage your block list to keep track of those you’ve distanced yourself from.
In this guide, you'll learn how to access your blocked list, along with tips for managing interactions on Facebook. So if you’ve previously blocked someone and want to see who’s on your blocked list, follow these steps.

Blocking someone is a drastic move on social media. It essentially cuts all interaction between you and the other person. They’ll be aware of it when they search for your profile, and this could lead to uncomfortable real life conversations. Luckily, there are softer ways to limit their presence on your feed without completely blocking them.
If you believe the person is going through a rough patch or is temporarily irritated, you can use the snooze feature to hide their posts for 30 days.
For a longer term solution, consider unfollowing the person. By doing this, you’ll no longer see their posts in your feed, but you remain friends and can still view their profile if needed. This is easy to reverse if you ever decide to follow them again. To unfollow, just click or tap the three dots on one of their posts and select "Unfollow."
If the person’s behaviour is too much to tolerate and you no longer want any connection with them, you can choose to unfriend them.

This cuts your social media connection entirely, and they will no longer appear in your friend list.t changes often, like event information or promotions, make sure the content stays up-to-date. Scanning a code only to find outdated content can frustrate users and harm engagement. more control by allowing you to whitelist particular trackers you trust, as well as easily blacklisting them if necessary.
If someone decides to block you, it’s important to respect their decision and not try to bypass the block. However, if you’re curious whether you’ve been blocked, there are a few ways to check. You can try searching for their profile, and if you can’t find it or interact with them, you’ve likely been blocked.
If the person is on your Friends list, start by looking for their name there. If they don’t appear, search for them directly. If their profile no longer shows up in either case, there’s a good chance that their account has been deactivated.
You can’t block someone who has already blocked you using the regular methods, since their profile won’t be visible to you. However you can do this from another ID.
If you’ve unblocked someone but soon regret your decision, you can’t block them again right away. Facebook enforces a waiting period of 48 hours before you’re allowed to re-block a user. This is designed to prevent quick back-and-forth blocking, giving time to rethink the situation.
