Can i partially block someone on facebook

If accepted, things will go back to normal. Removing someone from the Restricted list gives them the power to view your normal posts and stories again, even if they are set to Friends only. Since other things remain unchanged when you restrict a person, they continue to function normally.

On the Facebook website, open the profile that you want to restrict and click on the Friends button. Select Add to another list. Click on Restricted.

On the Facebook website, click on the Friends List option present in the left sidebar under Explore. If the option is missing, open the link facebook. You will be taken to the Restricted list. Here you will see everyone on the list. On the mobile apps, repeat the steps mentioned above for adding them to the Restricted list in method 1.

Uncheck Restricted in the last step. Method 1 also works for the Facebook website. On the Facebook website, you can do it in another way by following method 2. That is, visit facebook. Then, click on Manage List at the top-right, followed by Edit list.

Click on the name of the person that you want to remove from the list. On the Facebook website, open the profile and click on the three-dot icon near the cover picture.

Select Block from the menu. On the Android app, tap on the three-dot icon on the profile screen of the person and select Block. Tap on Unblock next to the person. On the website, open Settings and click on Blocking on the left side. Click on Unblock for the person that you want to unblock under the Block users section.

You can use the same method to block a person too. You can block restricted people in the same way as you do it for others. There is no other special method. Both privacy settings help you in avoiding people. While one is way too harsh, the other is slightly polite and hidden. Websites like Sadly Unfriended can show you which of your friends or former friends has chosen to basically cut you out of their lives.

All you have to do is connect via Facebook using the link on the site and it will bring up your friends list. Then, the next time you visit the site and log in, it will show you if anyone has unfriended you since your last visit. For starters, it's worth just scrolling through your friend list every few months and asking yourself whether you're genuinely okay with these people having access to pictures of you on holiday in a bikini, posing with your family and talking about work.

The most awkward thing is usually that weird in-between kinda friend that isn't really a close friend, but you'd like to stay in touch with ex-colleagues, school friends, etc. The easiest thing to do is go on their profile and where it says 'Friends' with a tick, click the drop down and select 'Acquaintances'.

This is for friends you don't need to stay in close touch with and people on your acquaintances list will rarely show up in your News Feed. Plus, when you're deciding who can see your wall or certain posts as described above , you can just select 'Friends except Acquaintances' and ALL of the people listed as Acquaintances won't see it.

Easy peasy. Have an annoying relative that posts things ALL the time? Or a friend who just can't seem to stop tagging you in awful pictures? You can control everything that goes on your wall in one simple step. In Settings, go to 'Timeline and Tagging' and click 'edit' next to 'Review posts that friends tag you in before they appear on your Timeline?

That way you'll get a notification every time someone tags you in anything and you can decide whether or not it is posted to your timeline. Type keyword s to search. Today's Top Stories. Make sure you know your password. If I block someone, will that blocked individual be notified if I become friends with someone on their friends list? I have a Facebook friend that posted a picture and used the friends only setting for that picture.

It poped up on my newsfeed because two mutual friends commented on it. She has no idea I can still see her stuff. But not just like Facebook says in disclaimer they may still see certain things, read the fine print!

While family was struggling with a bad situation one of my family members was posting passive-aggressively. Any ideas? Hi Tiffany, I just updated this article with new instructions. Are there any work arounds for this? Not sure as this is such a recent change, I have not had time to research and update this post! Once I do I will reply again to this comment.

Jonathan, Could be, if he is in your family group and your restricted group, that might cause a problem. Take them out of all other groups, and when you DO want them to see a post, tag them and they should see it this is according to FB help; check there for further details.

Hi Jean.. I dont want my friends to see that im friends with her on fb when they check her profile.. Hi, well, that would probably depend more on her privacy settings more than yours…. Thanks for your help kez. Could be that you have been blocked, and also could be that they have deactivated their account. Hard to say for sure.

She has had her paternal grandmother test it who is friends with both of them and it is the same for her, my daughter is missing but she can see mutual and non mutual friends excluding her. My daughter has raised it with him and he says it must be her settings, but she appears on other friends lists, just not on his. Any idea why this would be? He is not on a restricted list on her own settings. Is it even possible to hide certain friends from your friends list or to hide yourself from appearing in certain friends lists?

Hi mp, As far as I know, someone who is on your Restricted list could still add you to their Close friends list and follow you, however, since you put them on your Restricted list they should not see your updates unless you specifically tag them in an update or make it a public update.

If I add a friend to my restricted list, can they see something a non mutual friend might post and tag me in? Essentially I dont want a friend to tag me in something and have the restricted person see the tag. Hi is there anyone who can help with this query, I have a friend on facebook who has about 8 mutual friends on f. He has also disappeared of the mutual friends f. I should mention he has an iPhone. Can they see what I like for example my friends status?

Hi JEAN. I wanted to ask you if it is possible to make sure a friend doesnt see a photo i was tagged in by someone else who is not a friend of that particular person?? I am amused by how many questions you have received and the random assortment! Happy New Year and thanks for all your good info! I think this is the same question I answered above, asked by roxy.

Check your settings in privacy under timeline and tagging. Hi, do you know if old posts can be seen by a friend you remove from your restricted list? Looked on the friends age but that option is not there.

Let me know. Thank you. The screenshots here are from viewing FB on a computer in a web browser. Hi Jean, I would like to know what if I unfollow a friend but now I wish to follow him back, would there be any notification sent to my friend when i click the follow button?

I have unfollowed someone multiple times over the last week … keep getting their newsfeeds. Have also selected to not get MyVegas, Candy Crush, etc. If I go on my friends timeline and it will only show me mutual friends, does that mean they have restricted me to certain things I can see?

Hi Jean, thanks for all of the information! Not sure if this has been covered exactly. Is that person still able to see what I am tagged in, or what I comment on in my newsfeed?

Hi Tonya, The restricted friend could potentially see posts that you are tagged in, such as, a mutual friend tagged you. At least this is my understanding! Now I know about restricted list, I can at least relieve the kinds of my other FB friends that constantly get friend requests for her. If i select friends except acquaintance for a post ,will the restricted people be able to see that post? Will they be able to see the video through my friend being tagged?

Cheers for any help. If I go to Friend 1 page I can see our mutual friends that we have. If I go to Friend 2 page I can also see our mutual friends. Hard to say for sure because there is also an option where you can choose not to display your friends to people unless they are friends with you already.

That might also explain it. Did she restrict me from seeing her posts on my timeline? Is it possible that you removed her posts from your news feed? Make sure you are following her to see her posts in your feed. I cannot view any info. I asked her about it and she said fb is screwing up her page. Is this possible or is she just lying to me?

Hey, I needed to know what difference would it make if I unfollowed someone but kept them in my close friends tab? Will they know I keep an eye on them? I had to block all my friends from posting to my wall because my brother is a racist and has no self control or respect for my friends. He was posting his racist crap and I could only block everyone from posting to my wall.

I should be able to select what each friend can do in like a special restrictions. Does anyone have an idea on how to block someone from sending a PM in FB? Btw, I was able to find a way to mute a conversation but guess you have to at least start one first.

Any additional help would be splendid! I put my ex in the acquaintances list and removed ticker in order not to see him ever again in my news feed, without unfriending him. However, he still pops up on the right side of my account and it says X added 8 new friends, do you know any of them? And I really want to avoid seeing this. Is is possible? Thanks you! If you move your ex from acquaintances to restricted list, I think that will prevent you from seeing these types of updates.

Or you can go to his page and and Unfollow them without unfriending to prevent seeing his activity on your news feed. Hi jean,what can I do for,preventing send request from one my friend to another friend in facebook. Jean, what if I put a friend on my restricted list in Facebook but that friend has me on their close friends list?

I can see the public posts, and am able to read the comments and see the likes I did. Now I only see the pic. Why is that? It's most likely because whoever commented blocked you. Not Helpful 26 Helpful The only way you can tell for sure is to ask someone else if they can see any posts from that person. If they can see posts that you can't, then you'll know that person has blocked you from seeing their posts.

Not Helpful 39 Helpful Have I been restricted if I can see a friend's profile on Facebook and see their posts if I go to it, but I don't receive them on my timeline? Either that, or you may have accidentally unfollowed them. Go to their page and click on the menu where it says you are friends, and see if it says unfollow. Not Helpful 28 Helpful It depends on why you were restricted.

In some cases, you may be able to restore your account, but in other cases you may have to make an entirely new one. Not Helpful 43 Helpful It depends on the exact restrictions your friend has set up. In some cases, older posts will still be accessible, but there is an option to hide those as well.

Not Helpful 15 Helpful Why am I not seeing posts from a certain friend on Facebook who hasn't blocked me? Go to the person's profile page and make sure the Follow icon is highlighted. You can also select the See First option; if you click on Follow it will pop up.

If you still don't see posts, your friend may have privacy settings set to where you, certain people, or everyone is restricted. Have a mutual friend pull up the profile page and compare it to what you can see.
