What is blocking on Facebook and how do I block someone?

When you block someone they will no longer be able to do things such as tag you or see things you post on your timeline.
To block someone:
  1. Click account in the top right of Facebook.
  2. Select Settings & Privacy, then click Settings.
  3. Click Blocking in the left side menu.
  4. In the Block users section, enter the name of the profile you want to block and click Block.
  5. Select the specific profile you want to block from the list that appears and click Block, then click Block [name].
Note: If you can't find someone using this method, try going to the profile and selecting Block from the more menu in the bottom right of the cover photo.
Keep in mind:
  • When you unblock someone, you won't automatically be friends again. If you block a friend and then unblock them, you'll need to send them a new friend request.
  • People won't be notified when you block them.
