### What happens?

You can block someone to prevent that person from seeing what you post on your profile, start a conversation with you, or add you as a friend (even if you are not yet friends, it can be taken as a preventive measure against possible problems, even with family members) ). Blocking a friend breaks a friendship.

People you block will not be able to:

- See what you post on your profile;

- Tag you in posts, comments or photos;

- Invite you to events or groups;

- Start a conversation with you;

- Add you as a friend

When you block someone, you also won’t be able to do the same things listed above. Keep in mind that blocking someone may not prevent all communications or interactions such as in apps or groups, and that it affects only your interactions with the person on Facebook (and no other social networks). When you unblock someone, you and that person will not automatically become friends again. If you block a friend and then unblock them, you will need to send a new friend request.
