Humans have long engaged in verbal combat and physical clashes when someone irritates or angers them. The result often ends with people stopping interaction and maybe severing all relations with the person. With the internet age in full swing, we’ve also extended our fights to social media. You know what we’re talking about, right?
Can you say it’s a serious fight when you don’t block the person online, too? We’ve all been pretty accustomed to doing that now.
As a Facebook user, you block the person and move on. But we know that blocking has significant repercussions as well. In this blog, we’ll discuss one of the questions many Facebook users raised.
If I blocked someone on Facebook, do my friends still see their comments on my picture and status? What do you think happens? Aren’t you curious to know? Buckle up because we’ll go into great depth about it.
If I Blocked Someone on Facebook, Do My Friends Still See their Comments on My Picture and Status?
When you block someone on Facebook, all past comments they have made on your status updates or pictures are not immediately removed. We know blocking is meant to end communication, but they may have left comments on your posts or status updates before blocking.
So, please be aware that we are currently discussing all interactions before you block the person. Now, please allow us to explain.
When we block someone on Facebook, we essentially prevent them from seeing our online activities. Hence, you will not see their comments. However, this explanation does not extend to your friends. Why?
We believe they haven’t also blocked the individual! For this very reason, they will continue to view the blocked person’s comments on your pictures and status updates.
So, you understand, right? From your perspective, everything between you and the blocked individual will vanish. However, all of those actions, such as commenting, will be seen by your Facebook friends.
You may wonder about the posts you create after blocking someone. Well, blocking someone makes your profile invisible to them, preventing them from seeing your new posts and leaving any comments.
