If you are thinking about unblocking someone on Facebook, you should first know what will happen.
They will be able to:
- See anything you post on your timeline.
- Tag you in posts, comments, or photos.
- Invite you to any events or groups.
- Start a conversation with you.
- Add you as a friend.
Also, keep these points in mind:
- You cannot unblock that particular person again before 48 hours.
- You won’t automatically become friends again; you’ll have to send them a friend request.

I’m Susan, the founder of Learn Social Media. As a caregiver I regularly work with vulnerable groups, such as with the elderly in nursing homes, and children with disabilities in schools. During my work, I noticed these groups struggle to keep up with new technologies.
When it comes to social media, this often led to feelings of isolation and “being left out”. The thrill I experienced creating TikTok dance videos with children with disabilities, or helping elderly folks reconnect with old friends and loved ones on Facebook, is what inspired me to launch this project.
