When you block someone, they will not be explicitly notified of the block. However, certain interactions with you may change. For example, they might notice they can no longer see your posts, direct message you, or in some cases, find your profile. It effectively appears as if you've disappeared or become inactive to the person you've blocked, without receiving a specific notification that they've been blocked.
