How to Block Someone on Facebook

How to Block Someone on Facebook

1. First Blocking Method

There are three ways to block someone on Facebook.
The quickest is to click on the privacy shortcut padlock at the top left of your homepage, select "How do I stop someone from bothering me?" and then type their name or email address into the box that appears.


2. Second Blocking Method

The second method involves clicking the down arrow on the top right side to bring up a menu. Select "Settings," then "Blocking" from the sub-menu that comes up.
You can then enter the person's name into the "Block users" box.

3. Third Blocking Method

The third way to block someone is to head to their Facebook profile, hover over the cog icon on the bottom right of their cover photo and select "Report/block."


4. Third Blocking Method

You then get a set of options, one of which is to block the user.

5. Facebook Search

Once you've blocked someone, you will not appear in Facebook search results for that person.
They will not appear in your search results either.

6. Google Search

If your Facebook profile is searchable, when the person you have blocked does a Google search for "your name + Facebook," you will still appear in the results, however...


7. Google Search Click-Through

....once they click through, they will see a "page not available" message.


8. Signed-Out Search

Bear in mind if they sign out of Facebook and do a Google search for you they will be able to see whatever your default public Facebook profile is set to.
You can "hide" yourself from search engines. Head to the "Who can look me up?" area of your Facebook privacy settings to change this.

9. Comments on Posts

If you have mutual friends, the person you have blocked will not see comments you make on mutual friends' posts.


10. So, What Can Be Seen?

Facebook warns that even if you block someone, they may appear in your stream. Here's when that might happen:
* If the blocked person is included in a group conversation.
* If the blocked person posts a photo of a mutual friend.
* If the blocked person is tagged by a mutual friend.
* If you're a member of a mutual group or if you're both invited to the same event.
* If you play mutual games or use mutual apps.

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly Redesigns happen. Whether a certain look has gone out of style, a brand's direction has changed, or it's just time for something fresh, many popular apps have changed the design of their icons. Instagram just changed its app icon, and while a new look was probably a good idea, many aren't happy about it.   nstagram is far from the first app to go through this. Sometimes it's a home run, but it's rare. More often a changed icon either takes a while to get used to or is just plain bad. Occasionally, the redesign lives in infamy.  May notable icon redesigns came after after Apple transitioned from iOS 6 to iOS 7, introducing a new design philosophy that departed from the skeuomorphism (think: leather texture and wood trim) of the past and embracing a more flat, simple aesthetic. Apps like Messages, Phone, Mail and Weather dropped the gloss in favor of minimalism, and plenty of third-party ap...

 GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:  Get automatic water pitcher fill-ups from this top-freezer fridge The Good The Autofill Pitcher is a unique feature that works well and seems practical for daily use -- a rarity with top freezers. Despite the plain-looking design, the fridge feels sturdy and well-constructed. The Bad Storage space is cramped to begin with, let alone with the Autofill Pitcher taking up space on the top shelf. Cooling performance was also pretty unexceptional. The Bottom Line The Autofill Pitcher is a borderline ingenious fridge feature, but the GAS18PSJSS isn't well-rounded enough to be a top pick. for price and more click here
