There are many reasons why you want to block anyone on Facebook. And the social media giant also provided a fairly simple method. However, the problem arises when you have changed your mind and therefore want to reverse your decision. The problem is, since you’ve blocked this person or page, you won’t be able to find their profile or account just from a normal search. Well, this is completely understandable in the first place. As a result, a little more effort is required to unblock users and Facebook pages.
To make sure that you have no trouble performing these steps, we have mentioned all the instructions required here. The steps to unblock users can be performed from the application itself. But when it comes to unlocking pages, neither the app nor its mobile website supports it. However, there is a workaround through which these steps can be performed directly from your device. So without further ado, here are the necessary instructions. Also check out our detailed guide on how to review tags before they appear on your Facebook timeline.
