How to View a Blocked or Deleted Profile on Facebook

I’m pretty sure a number of you are shaking your heads because you know exactly what called for this post but far from that. Perhaps, a mere coincidence. I’ve had a couple of people inbox me to find out how to deal with blocked or deleted accounts.

I must say this works although you might be able to see all the updates of the individual who has either blocked you or deleted the account. If your friend has blocked you, you can however go through her profile and pictures but not have access to everything any other friend would.

I must say this work had contributions from Joshua Phillips of studioD.

Good luck in your sojourn.


Viewing a Blocked Profile When You Know The URL

Step 1

Log out of your Facebook account.

Step 2

Click the address bar at the top of the screen. Erase any Web address that is currently listed.

Step 3

Enter the URL of the Facebook account that you suspect has blocked you. The URL looks like this: “www.facebook.com/name,” where “name” is replaced with the account you are checking. If you do not know the URL, there is no way to find it.

Step 4

Press “Enter” to view that person’s Facebook page. If the person’s Facebook page appears, that person has blocked you. If you receive a Facebook error, the account is deleted.

Viewing A Blocked Profile

If You Don’t Have The URL

Step 1

Log out of your Facebook account.

Step 2

Navigate to any search engine.

Step 3

Enter the name of the person or business you are trying to find. Try “name facebook” and replace “name” with the name of the person or business. While you can block someone on Facebook, you cannot block them from viewing your page from an outside source.

Step 4

Scroll through the found entries. If you find their Facebook account, it is a sign that they blocked you. If the account does not appear at all, they have deleted their account.
