How to Block a Facebook Page or App

Just as you can block people on Facebook, you can also block specific pages and Facebook apps. Here’s how to block pages and apps in a web browser.

How to Block a Page in the Facebook Mobile App

You can’t block organizations or apps in the Facebook mobile app, but you can block people. Go to the profile you want to block and tap the three dots below their name, tap Block, then tap Block again.

Why Block Pages on Facebook?

When you block an app, person, or organization profile, you’ll no longer see updates from them on your timeline. They won’t even appear in your searches. If you’re tired of seeing advertisements for a specific business, or you keep getting updates from a former employer, you can block the company’s profile on Facebook. Blocking Facebook apps can be helpful if you’re trying to break an addiction to a game or service.

Block Facebook Group and Event Pages

Blocking Facebook groups and event pages requires a little more effort. You can block web pages through your web browser or using parental control software. Event and group updates may still show up in your timeline, so you’ll want to leave the group or remove yourself from the event.
