When you block someone on Messenger, they will no longer be able to send you messages or call you through the app. Your chat history with them will remain in your Messenger, but you won't receive any new messages from them. Blocking someone on Messenger does not automatically unfriend them on Facebook, but it prevents any direct contact through Messenger. Should you decide to unblock them later, you'll be able to message each other again, but you will need to start a new conversation as the old one won't be restored.

  3. What happens if I unblock someone on Messenger? Once you unblock someone on Messenger, you can message each other again, but previous messaging threads won’t be restored, so you’ll need to start a new conversation.
