How to Unblock a User on Reddit

Share
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to unblock a user that you've previously blocked on Reddit. You might want to do this if you blocked someone by accident or mistake.

To unblock a user on Reddit, follow the following steps:

1: go to their profile page. If you don't remember who you blocked, see [How to See Who You Blocked on Reddit].

A message saying: "you've blocked VirtualCuriosities, continue to view their profile or visit your settings to manage who you've blocked." Two buttons: Continue to Profile and Go Back.

2: you should see a message that tells you that you've blocked them. You can either click on the link to "manage who you've blocked" or click Continue to Profile. We'll use the latter method.

3: you'll see that in a blocked profile page on Reddit, there is a rounded rectangle that says "Blocked," but there is no button to unblock the user. Even the three dots button that we could use to block them is no longer there. How do you unblock users, then? It's very simple and makes absolutely no sense at all: just click on where it says "Blocked" and the blocked user will be unblocked.

Alternative: if you need to remove many users at once, try viewing your blocked accounts on Reddit. There, you can just click on the small "X" button to unblock the account.

A dialog box titled "Blocked accounts." "Accounts you block won't be able to access your profile or see or reply to your posts or comments in communities." A text box that reads "Block new user." A list with one user: VirtualCuriosities, with an "X" button at its right. Two buttons at the bottom: Save and Cancel.
