Imagine that someone who is not your friend sends you a message on Facebook messenger or you have been chatting with a friend and the conversation turned sour or went down a road you have no control over and you want to block or bar that person from sending messages and reaching out to you on Facebook messenger.

We have decided to show you how to block someone on your Facebook messenger. Follow the steps below:
