Unblocking a Blocked Person on Facebook

Earlier we covered how you can block an annoying person from contacting you or seeing your facebook page. This is a great way to get rid of those peeping Toms. But what if you later decide to unblock a person you have blocked? Facebook has already thought of that and have provided a way to unblock a person. But you cannot re-block a person who you have unblocked for next 48 hours. Here is how you can unblock a person on facebook :

  1. Login to your Facebook account in your browser.
  2. Click on the downward arrow and select Privacy Settings at the top-right corner of the facebook page. This would open your Privacy Settings page.
