How To Block Someone On A Facebook Business Page On Desktop

Banning a Facebook user or other pages from your business page is pretty straightforward and can be done within a few minutes.

Step 1:

To block someone, log in to your Facebook account and select the ‘Pages' button on the left side of your screen to go into the page settings.

Step 2:

Select your Facebook business page and select ‘Settings' on the left side of the page towards the bottom.

Step 3:

In the page's settings, select the option for ‘People and other Pages.'

Then select the dropdown menu and click the ‘Banned people and Pages' option.

Step 4:

All you need to do now is select the blue ‘+ Ban a person' option, enter the name or email of the person or other pages you want to ban from your Facebook business page, and press save.

You can also select the checkbox for the person you want to ban from your Facebook page and block someone this way.

In addition to the method above, you can ban them directly from a Facebook post on the page and a message in your inbox.

They will now be blocked from commenting, liking, and interacting on your Facebook business page. They can still view and share the Facebook page, but they can't do anything else.

How To Block Someone On A Facebook Business Page On Mobile

Blocking users from your Facebook page on mobile isn't much different from desktop and can also be done pretty quickly. However, the process is slightly different for each operator, so let's look at the two main options.

Block Facebook Users On Apple Mobile

To access the page's settings, launch the Facebook app on your iOS mobile, and select the More option at the bottom right of the screen.
Scroll down the drop down menu and choose the settings option to go into the page settings.
Continue to scroll down until you see the section for ‘audience and visibility,' then select the option for ‘blocking.'
Click the blue + sign and type in the name of the person you want to ban from your Facebook page.

Doing this will block someone from seeing your timeline, tagging you, and adding you as a friend; however, it won't block them from groups you are both members of.

To block someone from a Facebook business page in iOS is different because you can only ban people who have liked your page. To do so, select your page on the Facebook app, press the gear icon, and then ‘people and other pages.'

You then select the ‘people who have liked your page' option, and you will see a list of people — find the user you want to block, and select the ban option.

The video below will walk you through the steps:

Block Facebook Users On Android Mobile

To block a user on Facebook with Android devices is a similar process to Apple devices. You can work out how to block someone by following the same steps as above.

However, for simplicity, the steps below are an easy way to block someone on Android:

Launch the Facebook app
Search for the person you want to ban from your Facebook page and load their profile page
Select the three dots next to the name, and press block
Confirm the blocking by pressing block

That's it — you have blocked them!

FAQ For Blocking & Banning People On Facebook Business Pages

There are many reasons you would need to ban or block someone on Facebook, and the FAQs below will hopefully answer some of your questions.

Why Would You Want To Block People From Your Facebook Page?

Besides the obvious reasons such as spamming or breaking the rules, you should also block people and other pages from your page because it will help to keep the community feeling solid and professional.

We recommend banning people because nobody wants to be on the page with idiots, and if you don't get rid of them, the other users will likely find a different page.

Can You Hide A Facebook Page From Someone?

Yes, you can hide a Facebook page in several different ways. For example, if you want to hide the page from your main Facebook friends, you don't invite them to like the page, and you keep your name anonymous.

Your business pages are separate from your main profile, and you don't have to worry about your friends or family knowing about your business page if that's what you want.

You can also hide the page from everyone by visiting the page visibility section in the page settings and unpublishing the page — this will hide it permanently until you publish the page.
