Guide On How To Unrestrict On Facebook

Unrestricting someone on Facebook is a process that involves reversing the restrictions you’ve placed on a specific user. When you restrict someone on Facebook, they’re still your friend but they can only see your public posts and posts in which you tag them. Unrestricting them will allow them to see all of your posts again, as per your privacy settings. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to unrestrict someone on Facebook:

Unrestricting Someone on Facebook

Via Facebook Website (Desktop):

1. Log in to Facebook: Open your web browser, go to Facebook.com, and log in with your credentials.
2. Access Profile Settings: Click on your profile icon to go to your profile page.
3. Friends List: Click on the ‘Friends’ tab, located under your cover photo.
4. Find the Restricted List: On the left-hand side, you’ll see a list of filters. Click on “More” if you don’t immediately see the ‘Restricted’ option. Click on ‘Restricted’ to see the list of people you’ve restricted.
5. Unrestrict a Friend: Once you’re on your Restricted list, find the person you want to unrestrict. Hover over their name, and you’ll see a ‘Friends’ button appear. Click on this button, and then select ‘Edit Friend Lists’ or similar option.
6. Remove From Restricted List: Uncheck the ‘Restricted’ option from the list. This action will unrestrict the person.

Via Facebook Mobile App:

1. Open the Facebook App: Log in if you haven’t already.
2. Go to the Menu: Tap on the three horizontal lines (menu icon) – on Android, this is typically in the top right corner, and on iOS, it’s at the bottom right.
3. Settings & Privacy: Scroll down and tap on ‘Settings & Privacy’, then select ‘Settings’.
4. Profile Settings: In the settings menu, look for the ‘Profile Settings’ section.
5. View Restricted List: Scroll down to the ‘Privacy’ section and tap on ‘Blocking’. Here you’ll find a list of people you’ve blocked and restricted. Tap on ‘Edit’ next to the ‘Restricted List’.
6. Unrestrict a Friend: Find the person you want to unrestrict and tap on ‘Unrestrict’ next to their name.

Things to Remember

• Notification: The person you unrestrict will not be notified of this change.
• Post Visibility: Once unrestricted, the person will be able to see all future posts that you share with your friends.
• Previous Posts: Unrestricting someone does not change the visibility of your past posts. If you want them to see past posts, you may need to adjust the privacy settings of those individual posts.

By following these steps, you can easily manage your restricted list on Facebook and control who sees your posts. Remember, restricting and unrestricting someone is a privacy tool that Facebook provides to help manage your social interactions on the platform.
