If you ever get blocked on
Facebook, how will you identify that the person actually blocked you? We know
that there are hardly any clues about getting blocked on Facebook and the
chances of recognizing it are even tougher. But you come to know it when the
person is no longer seen in your friend list or you cannot access the content
of your contact who is publicly sharing his/her posts. This might also happen
that you are not blocked and you may have been unfriended by the person and
this is why you cannot find him/her in your friend list. Not seeing someone in
your friend list does not necessarily mean that you are blocked. This might
also happen that the person deactivated his/her account for some reason or
Facebook suspended their account. So this is difficult to judge whether you are
blocked or not and this is why today we came up with the proper solutions to
recognize if you are blocked on FB.
Am I blocked?
How
to block someone on Facebook?
Before we come to the actual point of
the topic, it’s important for you to know how a person can be blocked. A person
can be blocked with the following steps:
·
Visit the person’s profile who you want to block.
·
Click on the 3 dotted lines beside the ‘Message’ tab.
·
Click ‘Block’
What
happens when you block a person on Facebook?
Blocking a person means preventing him/her from seeing the things
you post on your profile. This includes the things that you privately post, the
conversations, and adding the person as a friend. If you block a person who is
on your friend list, will automatically unfriend the person. The person you
block won’t be able to see the things you post on your profile, tag you in
posts and comments, invite you to groups and events, chat with you, and add you
as a friend. Meanwhile, blocking someone may not prevent all kinds of
conversations, e.g. in apps or group, and only affects your conversation with
that person on Facebook. Secondly, unblocking a person who was in your friend list will
not automatically friend him/her. So you’ll need to send the person a new
friend request.
How to tell if someone
blocked you on Facebook?
Please note, we’ll be talking about
being blocked and not unfriended. Getting blocked will prevent you from
accessing the person’s profile and getting unfriended will give you access to
the same. Both are different things and it’s is necessary to understand the
difference before learning the solution.

Who blocked me on Facebook?
To know if someone really blocked you
on Facebook, you should try the below methods:
Method
1
To know whether the person blocked you on Facebook, try to find
his profile. If you cannot find out his/her profile and even the name, then it
is probable that you are blocked. Also, try to check the name from the mutual
friend list by visiting your friend’s friend list. Still, if you cannot find
his/her profile, then it might be because of the following reasons:
·
You are blocked by your friend.
·
The person deleted his/her profile.
·
The account of that person is disabled due to a violation of
Facebook’s terms and policies.
If we ignore the last two reasons and consider the first one, then
you can confirm it by going to your Facebook conversations at http://facebook.com/messages/. If you ever
had any conversation with this person, then find it and expand the
conversation. The image of that person will show the default Facebook image,
but it’ the name that matters. If the name of that person is in black and bold
letters and is not clickable to visit the profile, then it is certain that the
person blocked you. Even if you try to send a message to the person, you’ll
receive a return error message. If a person’s account is disabled, it will
display his name as ‘Facebook user’ and not his real name.
Method
2
The second method to confirm if a
person has blocked you is by opening a conversation you had with that person.
Try to report the conversation as spam and then reopen the message page and the
conversation with the user. Then click on the settings icon on the right panel of
the window next to the user’s name and click ‘Report Spam or Abuse’. From the
pop-up window, choose a reason to report the conversation and click Continue.
If it results with the message ‘Operation prohibited’, to the exact name of the
friend it means, the user has blocked you.
Method
3
If you never had any conversation
with the user on Facebook, then you need to try this method. Please note that
to try this method, you need to know the person’s Facebook username URL. The
profile URL of that person will give you direct access to his page when typed
in the browser window unless you are blocked. Try to find the person’s name on
Google by searching with ‘+ name + surname facebook’. If you find the URL of
his profile, you will certainly visit it. But if the page shows ‘The page you
requested was not found’, it means you are blocked.
After you note the username of the
URL, visit the link graph.facebook.com/username. Replace ‘username’ with the
person’s username and hit the URL in the browser window by pressing Enter. This
tool will offer you some information about any user, page or application on
Facebook. If you can see the user details like ID, name, first name, last name,
etc. and the user is existing in Facebook and certainly you are blocked.
Method
4
This is the simplest and easiest
method you can use. Simply ask a mutual friend if he/she can see the person’s
profile that you cannot. If they can view the profile successfully, whereas you
still cannot, then probably you are blocked by that person.
Method
5
If the person has ever posted
anything on your wall, then try to search for that specific post. The post will
be visible, however, the person’s profile picture will be replaced with a
question mark. Secondly, the person’s name will be in black and bold letters
and shall be no longer clickable. This means that the person blocked you.
Method
6
This is another simple way apart from
trying all the Facebook tricks. If you got the contact number or email of that
person who you suspect to have blocked you, then call the person directly and
confirm it from him/her. If the person blocked you then he’ll definitely
respond to your question and the latter can be discussed with him/her.
How to know if someone blocked you on Facebook?
Besides trying all these methods, there are certain web tools that
confirm about the person who blocked you on Facebook. If you suspect a person
to have blocked you and want to confirm if he/she has really done it, then try
this method. Go to http://whosblockedme.com and authenticate your Facebook
account. The next page will display the results if the person has actually
blocked you.
Whosblocked me is a web tool that
displays the names of the person who blocked you on Facebook. To obtain the
results, you might need to share the app on Facebook which might not take much
time.
How
to see the person’s Facebook account even after getting blocked?
This sounds extremely difficult, but
your desire to contempt the person’s wish of not letting you watch his/her
profile can be fulfilled to some extent with these 2 ways:
1.
Log out from your Facebook account and type the person’s profile
URL into your web browser. You’ll be able to view the person’s profile whatever
is publicly posted.
2.
Ask any of your mutual friends to log in to their account and then
see the person’s profile who blocked you.
