To hide someone on Messenger without blocking them, start a chat with the person, then tap on their name at the top of the conversation. Here, you can select 'Ignore Messages', moving the conversation out of your inbox, so you won't be notified about future messages, but you won't block them either. This allows you to not see someone's messages without severing communication ties completely.
