This wikiHow teaches you how to determine whether a person blocked you on Facebook or simply removed you from their friends list. If you can't find their profile, they either blocked you or deleted their account; unfortunately, there isn't a way to be percent sure of a specific outcome without contacting the person yourself. Then, click on the search bar and type in the name of the person who you think may have blocked you. Did this summary help you?

If you aren't logged in, enter your email address and password before continuing. Select the search bar. Tap or click the white box that says "Search" at the top of the page. Enter the person's name. Select the People tab. It's at the top of the page. Sometimes people who have blocked you or deleted their accounts will appear in the All tab of the search results, but these people will not show up in the People tab.
Look for the person's profile. If you can see the profile while on the People tab of the search results, the person's profile is still active, meaning that they just unfriended you. If you can't find the profile, they may have deleted their account or blocked you from seeing it; however, they may also have set their privacy settings high enough that you can't search for them on Facebook.
If you do see the account, try tapping or clicking it. You'll be able to see a limited view of the profile if you aren't blocked.
Method 2. Go to a friend's profile page. This must be a friend who is currently also friends with the person whom you think blocked you.
To go to a friend's page: Select the Search bar. Enter your friend's name. Select their name in the drop-down box. Select their profile image. Select the Friends tab. It's below the grid of photos near the top of their profile mobile or directly below their cover photo desktop. Tap or click the "Search Friends" bar at the top of the screen mobile or in the upper-right side of the Friends page desktop.
Type in the name of the person whom you think blocked you. After a moment, the friends list should refresh with results. Look for the person's name. If you see the person's name and profile picture in the results, they haven't blocked you. If you don't see the name and picture here, the person has either blocked you or deleted their account. One way to find out is by asking the friend whose page you're on to verify the account's existence. Method 3. Open Facebook's website. If you aren't logged in, enter your email address and password in the top-right side of the page before continuing.
This method only works if you or the person whom you suspect blocked you had at least a one-message conversation with each other. However, being blocked before properly acquainting yourself can be annoying.
Try to remember anything this contact has written on your profile or—if you've stopped others posting on your Facebook timeline —a mutual friend's profile. This could be a birthday message, a festive greeting, or anything incidental. These will still be visible regardless of your friendship status. However, if you have been blocked, the other person's profile image won't appear, or will be replaced by a question mark. Their name might also be covered by black boxes too.
If you've previously spoken to this person using Facebook Messenger, this is another indicator you can check. You must do this via the Facebook website because the app still sometimes shows blocked accounts.
Go to the Messenger section and click on See All in Messenger in the drop-down menu. Access the conversation you had with the contact. If you've been blocked, their profile image won't load, replaced by a standard gray outline. You won't be able to click on their name to look at their profile either. You can try to send them a message too. If you have been blocked, your attempts will be unsuccessful.
Facebook will tell you there's been a temporary error. How can you tell they haven't just deactivated their Facebook account? In most cases, their name won't appear at all if they have deleted their account, but deletion is different from deactivation.
Deletion is a more permanent step, while deactivation merely means they're staying off Facebook for a short time. The platform might be a distraction at a busy time, so deactivating it is an attempt to give it up for a while. That could be why you're not hearing from them, but they'll probably be back soon. Deletion means they don't intend coming back. In this case, their Messenger thread will read "Facebook User". Be aware that they could still be using Messenger without being on Facebook; nonetheless, if you can contact them here, at least you're still friends.
People create events on Facebook to coordinate meetups, including birthday parties, dinners, and Christmas celebrations. But if you've been blocked, you won't be able to invite that individual. After entering details, you'll need to invite specific people by tagging them. You can't add anyone who has blocked your profile though. This isn't about revenge. By checking whether you can block someone, you're also checking whether they've deactivated their Facebook.
Think of this as similar to tagging: you can only tag people you're not blocked from following. And so you can only block people who haven't blocked you. Sign in and click on the down arrow to the top-right of your feed. After clicking Block , a list of profiles will appear, giving you the option to block them. The only way you can be percent certain whether you have been blocked is to ask the person directly. You probably won't want to do that it's cringeworthy too.
There are other explanations for many of the above strategies. We also talked about how someone could be unsearchable because they changed their privacy settings. Accounts can also be suspended or deleted. However, if the person unblocks you, and you can see their profile, then you can block them. The response, or lack of response, will enlighten you to what is actually going on rather than worrying about it.
Keep in mind, doing this action means you will have to wait to block them again for a short time. We have some more information about securing your Facebook account here.
Unfortunately, no. However, if they unblock you, you can block them.
