Blocked someone on Facebook and now you\u2019re having second thoughts? No worries\u2014unblocking them is super easy, whether you’re on a computer or using the Facebook<\/a> app. Here\u2019s how to do it, plus what happens when you hit that Unblock<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens When You Unblock Someone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you unblock someone, they\u2019ll be able to see your profile, posts, and even message you\u2014depending on your privacy settings. But<\/strong> unblocking doesn\u2019t automatically make you friends again. If you want to reconnect, you\u2019ll have to send a new<\/strong> friend request. Also, they won\u2019t get any notification<\/strong> that you unblocked them, so no awkward \u201cHey, I noticed you unblocked me\u201d moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
