Did you make a mistake or change your mind about blocking someone?
It’s totally understandable to have second thoughts or realize that blocking someone may not have been the right call. If you’ve decided you want to unblock a person, it’s quick and easy to do so.
Here’s how to unblock them:
Steps to Unblock a User:
-
Open the Menu
Tap the menu icon (☰) located in the top-right corner of your screen. -
Go to Settings
From the menu, select "Settings" and then scroll to find the "Advanced" option. This will give you access to additional features. -
Find Your Block List
In the "Advanced" section, look for "My Block List" at the top of the page. Click the "View Users" button next to it. -
Locate the Person You Want to Unblock
You’ll now see a list of people you’ve previously blocked. Find the person you’d like to unblock, and next to their name, you’ll see an option to "Unblock". Click this button.
What Happens After Unblocking:
Once you unblock someone, your profiles will be visible to each other again. This means:
-
Profile Visibility: Your profile and theirs will be accessible to each other, and you’ll be able to view all previous interactions, such as likes and comments on each other’s posts.
-
Chats: Any prior conversations you had will be restored, so you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off.
Important Notes:
-
Previous Connections: If you had a match with this person before blocking them, or were following them on the site, please note that these connections won’t automatically be restored when you unblock them. If you want to reconnect with them, you’ll need to manually match or follow them again.
-
Privacy Tip: If you unblock someone, they won’t receive a notification about it. So unless you specifically tell them, they won’t even know that you blocked them in the first place. It will simply seem like you both took a little break from the platform.
