How to Unblock Facebook on iPhone and Desktop [2024 Updated]

By Gina Barrow, Last updated: January 11, 2024

Did you block someone on Facebook and finally decided to unblock them? Learn how to unblock Facebook friends in this new post!

There are certain situations and instances where we get irritated or frustrated with someone on social media sites like Facebook. As a result, we tend to get rid of them out of our timelines. You can easily block someone who does not agree with you in so many ways.

Blocking friends on Facebook means these people will no longer be able to see your posts on your timeline, tag you on photos, invite events, and even add you again as the friend.

However, they will not be notified that you blocked them anyway. At times when some friends are too overwhelming and annoying, we want to block them right away.

We block them out of impulsive reactions, and later on, realized that we can still be friends after all. How do you unblock Facebook friends? Find out below:

Part 4. Bonus Tip: How to Unblock Facebook Site on Chrome?

Do you have restricted sites on your computer and wanted to finally unblock it? If yes, maybe Facebook is on the list. We’ll give you some tips on how to unblock Facebook from Google Chrome restricted sites.

Remove or add the letter “S” to the site URL: HTTP/s to see which one is accessible. If without s works, then the https is blocked and vice versa.

If there is an error message “Due to Restrictions On This Account”, this could mean that there is a parental control set on the computer. If you are the admin then you may easily remove the restrictions on your own.

When there are no error messages, you can go to Control panel> Internet Options> Security> find and click on Restricted Websites> If Facebook is listed on the display you can simply highlight the site and click Remove. For family security, you can go to the Content Advisor or Family Safety under Internet Options and customize the settings. This option provides the user-level block for any URLs.

Use a proxy browser instead to view and access Facebook or you may use a different DNS. You may do this by going to Open Network and Sharing. Double click on your network name and then change the DNS under IPv4. You may use Google Public DNS.
