Not sure if someone blocked you on Facebook? You can determine whether or not a profile page has been deactivated, or has blocked you by following the steps below.

Search For Their Facebook Profile

The most straightforward method for determining whether or not someone blocked you on Facebook is to search for the person's profile.

Did They Deactivate?

Users who have deactivated may still appear in search results, in friend lists without a profile picture, and you will still be able to view their past comments in your Facebook feed.

If you're not seeing any engagement from them at all, and they don't appear in the friends list of a mutual friend, they may have blocked you.

Try To Access Their Profile Directly

If you have the URL link to the person's profile, try visiting it directly. if you receive an error message saying that the profile is "unavailable", they may have blocked you.

Try To Tag Them

Facebook usually suggests names as you tag people, so if you're not seeing them in the autofill when tagging a user, they may have blocked you.

Use The Facebook Messenger App

You can use the Facebook messenger app to tell if someone blocked you on Facebook by using a few different methods from either the Facebook app or Messenger site.

Check Previous Chats

If you've messaged someone before, try accessing their profile through your chat history using the drop down menu that appears when you tap their profile photo.

Blocked accounts won't load, and may result in a red error message when you try to message them.

Message Indicators & Errors

If messages to that person's account just aren't going through, or you don't have the ability to message them at all, your Facebook account may have been blocked.

Group Chats

If you can't add someone to a group chat, or if their profile no longer appears in an existing group chat, you may have been blocked.
