Facebook has become one of the most used social networks all over the world, but as often happens in these cases, it has a dark side. One of the most common tips that is given is to accept as friends only the people you really know, but there is always some stranger who tries to start a conversation with us, a friend that we no longer want to know anything about or someone we want to block for your behavior.
So that you can do it calmly and know what consequences this gesture has, in the following oneHOWTO article we explain what if i block someone on facebook.
Steps to follow:
1
He will not be able to add you as a friend. If you wonder what happens if I block someone on Facebook, you should know that, of course, someone you have blocked can no longer be your friend on Facebook anymore (until you unblock them, although we will go into more detail later). This is a good option if there is someone who does not stop sending you friend requests and you are tired of rejecting them, because if you block it, you will not get more friend requests.
If you do not know very well how you can do the blocking, we invite you to read our article in which we discover you How to block someone on Facebook.

If you block someone on Facebook, they will also not be able to see what you post on your profile. Contact blocked will not have access to your profile, so it will not be able to see your updates but neither your statuses, your photos, videos, shared links, etc. Of course, you will not be able to like or leave comments either.
3
Without tags. The lock also affects your updates, as he won’t be able to tag you in the content that you share with your friends (it goes without saying that you will not be able to tag it in photos, videos, statuses or links either).
4
Chat will not work. It is not necessary to have a contact in your group of friends to send a private message through Facebook chat, because you can do it before starting the friendship relationship. However, if you have blocked a contact, neither of you will be able to send a direct message to the other contact from the chat or Facebook Messenger.
5
Neither events nor groups. Finally. If you wonder what happens if I block someone on Facebook, you should know that You will not be able to invite yourself to events or groups mutually.
Of course, keep in mind that if you are in a group where the blocked contact is also present, you will receive the messages that contact sends through that group (just like yours). That is the only form of contact that we can maintain on this social network with a blocked contact. If a mutual friendship creates a group, you can easily introduce the two of you.
6
In short, we can say that when you block someone you disappear from the map. The other contact will not be able to find you either through common contacts or in the search box and neither will you. What’s more, you will not receive any notification that you have blocked it.
7
Blocking a contact is not the same as deleting them from our list of friends, but after one of the last Facebook updates, if you decide to change your mind and unblock a contact, you will have to send the friend request again (before the friendship was automatically reestablished). What you can do is send private messages through chat.
