How to unblock someone on Facebook and see their posts again

You can unblock someone on Facebook using the desktop website or the mobile app.

Once you unblock someone, you’ll be able to see their Facebook posts again and send them direct messages.

Maybe you were tired of your uncle’s constant political posts. Maybe you saw enough videos of your high school classmate’s cat. Whatever the reason, you blocked someone on Facebook.

But what if you want to unblock them? Facebook lets you unblock anyone quickly without alerting them. Unblocking someone will even re-add them to your Friends list if you were friends before the block.

Here’s how to unblock someone on Facebook.
