When you unblock someone do they know?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

When you unblock someone on Facebook, they do not receive a notification informing them that they have been unblocked. This means that the person you unblock will not be aware of the change in their status. The act of unblocking someone simply allows them to interact with you again on the platform, but it does not automatically add them to your friends list.

Unblocking someone on Facebook is a personal decision that you may make for various reasons. It could be that you have resolved any issues or conflicts that led to the blocking in the first place, or you may have simply changed your mind about keeping that person blocked. Regardless of the reason, Facebook does not notify the person when they are unblocked.

It’s important to remember that unblocking someone does not automatically restore your previous connection or friendship with that person. They will still need to send you a friend request if they wish to be added to your friends list again. Similarly, unblocking someone does not automatically add them to your friends list either. They will have to send you a friend request, and it will be up to you to accept or decline it.

In my own personal experience, I have unblocked people on Facebook without informing them, simply because I felt it was the right thing to do for my own personal growth and forgiveness. I believe that it is important to move on from negative experiences and give people a chance to change or make amends. However, it is also crucial to set boundaries and prioritize your own well-being. Unblocking someone does not mean you have to re-establish a connection with them if you don’t feel comfortable doing so.

To summarize, when you unblock someone on Facebook, they do not receive a notification about it. Unblocking someone simply allows them to interact with you again, but it does not automatically add them to your friends list. It’s important to remember that unblocking someone is a personal decision and does not necessarily mean you have to re-establish a connection with that person.
