Facebook is the social network with the largest number of users worldwide and the one with the highest health and popularity among all of us who use these forms of communication and information on a daily basis. Its use is known to almost everyone, but there are always some processes that are more complicated to carry out and that unfortunately we usually need from time to time.
One of them is to block a contact so that they no longer bother us with their messages or their continuous comments on all the publications we make. If you have someone in your contacts that you don't want to have there, today we are going to explain you in a simple way how to block someone on facebook, both from your computer and from your smartphone, which is increasingly the way we use the most to access the social network.
How to block a friend on Facebook
We are going to start this tutorial by explaining how to block a friend on Facebook, which will be the most normal thing that happens to almost all of us.
- Access Facebook and log in with your account
- Search your friends list for the person you want to block and access their profile
- Click on the icon of the three dots that you will see on the right side of your profile
- Now in the menu that will appear, click on the option "To block". From this moment on, this person will be blocked, unless you decide to unblock them, something that only you as the account owner can do.
When blocking any friend you will no longer be able to carry out any of the following options;
- See what you post in your bio
-
Tag you in any photo or post
-
Invite you to events or groups
-
Start a conversation with you
-
Add you to their friends list
How to block someone who is NOT on your friends list
It is not usually very common, but maybe you may also need to block a contact that is not in your contact list from time to time or what is the same that is not on your friends list.
- First copy the name of the person you want to block. To do this you can enter your profile through the search engine, and select your name with the mouse by copying it using the Ctrl + C keys
- Now access Facebook, if you have not already done so, with your session started. Click on the padlock icon that appears at the top right of the screen (if you don't find it, it's right next to the notifications icon)
- In the drop-down menu that should appear you must click on the option "How do I avoid being disturbed by someone?"
- Finally, paste the name that we have copied before in the corresponding box and click on the "Block" button.
From this moment on, the person we have blocked will no longer be able to bother you and will not be able to start conversations with you or see what you post in the biography.
How to block someone from mobile
We use our mobile device more and more, to use Facebook, but also for many other things. For all this we could not stop showing you how to block someone from mobile in a simple way and too many complications.
- Access the Facebook application, with the session started, and search for the contact you want to block
- Click on the icon with the three dots that appears on the right of the screen
- In the pop-up menu that will appear you must click on the option "Block"
- To end this process, you just have to confirm the blocking action again by clicking on the word "Block" that will appear in the lower right part of the message that Facebook will show us.
With this, this person will be blocked and, as with the other options, this person will no longer be able to bother us, and we will no longer hear from them unless we unblock them ourselves.
