Facebook has become a colossal social networking website with more than a billion users from across the globe. If you are managing a group and you have blocked someone in the past but now you want to unblock someone from Facebook group, here is how you can do that. Whether you removed the person from one or multiple groups, it is possible to remove the block and allow him/her to reaccess the groups.

Where can I find Blocked members in Facebook group?

If you are a Facebook group’s admin, it is very straightforward to find all blocked members in Facebook group. Previously, when Facebook has the old user interface, it was even easier to find all blocked members in a Facebook group. However, now things have changed a bit. In other words, Facebook doesn’t allow the admin to view all ‘blocked members’ in one page like it used to do earlier. You can make use of the Activity log to find out what you are looking for. However, if you use the Facebook mobile app on Android or iOS, you can find all blocked members in Facebook group in one place.

Here we have shown the steps to unblock friends from Facebook group on the website and mobile app. You can use them according to your requirements. However, if Facebook is blocked in your office, you can follow this guide to bypass blocked Facebook and open your Facebook account to unblock someone from Facebook group.

This does not work, you cannot search for a member that has been blocked by name and scrolling through 5 years of blocked members is a bit much.

Hi Melanie, I agree with you. The old feature is no longer available which used to show a list of all blocked members. Now, you have that option only on the mobile app.
