What happens when you block messages from someone's profile while using Facebook

Messages on Facebook appear in Facebook Chat. They're not comments on posts, or posts on a profile or page.

When you block messages and calls from someone's profile, they can't:

  • Chat with you on your Messenger app or Facebook Chat. You won’t receive messages or calls from the profile you’ve blocked.
  • Receive messages or calls from your Messenger or Facebook profile to their profile.

When you block messages and calls from someone's profile, they can still:

  • See your profile on Facebook.
  • Leave comments on your posts, or post on your profile.
  • See your messages if you're both in the same group conversation. If you and the profile you block are in a group conversation together, you'll be notified before you enter the conversation.
