Social media interactions can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or privacy decisions, and you might wonder if someone has blocked you on Facebook. Since Facebook doesn’t notify you when you’re blocked, there are a few clues to help you determine if someone has chosen to restrict your access to their profile. Here’s a guide on how to know if someone blocked you on Facebook.
Signs That Someone Blocked You
Here are the key indicators that can help you figure out if someone has blocked you on Facebook.
Search for Their Profile
One of the easiest ways to check if you’ve been blocked is to search for the person’s profile.
- On Desktop: Go to the search bar at the top of your Facebook homepage and type the person’s name.
- On Mobile: Tap the search icon and enter their name.
If their profile doesn’t appear in the search results but you know they’re on Facebook, this might indicate that they’ve blocked you. However, keep in mind they may have deactivated their account instead.
Check Your Friends List
If the person was previously on your friends list, check if they’re still there.
- Go to your profile and select Friends.
- Type the person’s name in the Friends list search bar.
If you can’t find them in your list, it’s possible they blocked you, especially if you were recently friends.
Try Sending Them a Message
If you had an existing conversation with the person, check your messages to see if you can still contact them.
- Abrir Mensageiro and locate your conversation with them.
- If you see a message that says ‘You can’t reply to this conversation,’ it may mean you’ve been blocked.
Keep in mind that this message can also appear if the person has deactivated their account, so it’s not a guaranteed indicator.
Look at Past Tags or Comments
If you’ve tagged the person in photos or they’ve commented on your posts, try locating those tags or comments.
- Vá para Activity Log on your profile and look for interactions with that person.
- If their name appears as plain text rather than a clickable link, it’s likely that they blocked you (or deactivated their account).
This is especially useful if you want to confirm without directly searching their profile.
Ask a Mutual Friend
If you’re still uncertain, ask a mutual friend to check if they can see the person’s profile. If the mutual friend can see their profile while you can’t, it’s likely that you’ve been blocked.
Blocked vs. Deactivated Account
It’s important to know the difference between being blocked and a deactivated account. If someone has deactivated their account, no one can see their profile, not even mutual friends. But if you’re blocked, only you are restricted from viewing their profile, while others can still see it.
