Can you see a blocked person on a mutual friend list?

Answered by Robert Flynn

When you block someone on Facebook, they are unable to see your posts, profile, or any updates you make on your account. However, it is important to note that blocking someone does not automatically remove them from your friend list. They will still appear as a friend on your mutual friend’s list, but with certain limitations.

When you block someone, they are not able to see your posts, comments, or any activity on your profile, even if it is shared by a mutual friend. They will not be notified of any updates you make and cannot interact with your content in any way. So, while they may see posts from mutual friends that involve or mention you, they will not be able to view the content directly from your profile.

Additionally, blocked users cannot use mutual friends as a means to view your profile or access any information about you. They will not be able to see your name, profile picture, or any other details through mutual friends. So, even if they try to search for your profile or click on your name through a mutual friend’s friend list, they will not have access to your profile.

It’s important to remember that blocking someone on Facebook is a personal decision and should be used if you feel the need to distance yourself from someone or maintain your privacy. Blocking allows you to have control over who can interact with you and view your content on the platform.

In my personal experience, I have used the block feature on Facebook to cut off individuals who were causing me distress or invading my privacy. It provided me with a sense of security and peace of mind, knowing that they would no longer have access to my posts or be able to interact with me through mutual friends. It is a useful tool for maintaining boundaries and protecting oneself on social media platforms.

To summarize, when you block someone on Facebook, they cannot see your posts, profile, or any updates you make on your account. They may still appear as a friend on mutual friend’s lists, but with limited access to your information. Blocked users cannot see your posts via mutual friends, and they cannot use mutual friends to access your profile or any other details about you. Blocking someone on Facebook is a personal decision that allows you to maintain your privacy and control over who can interact with you on the platform.
