Restrict or unrestrict someone on Messenger

 Oh, thank you lord.  Over the last decade I've figured out FB pretty well.  Lists, Restrictions, Blocking, etc.   But as of late, certain messages from certain folks has been driving me fucking nutz. So last night, I dig in a lil.

Go to the Chat Messenger discussion ... and ... start looking around

Below Mute Notifications....   now there's a new one!   Sort of reminds me of what some other apps out there do??


  Okay ....Mute Notifications, that's what I was looking for ..


Used that historically, but not sure why I hadn't done it before on this thread ....

Here's something new.  Knew you could restrict folks for the feed info, but not for chats.  NOW, we're talking!  
I'm not sure how this affects 'them', but the discussion is hidden from me.  Is it hidden from them?  If I go to their profile page, there is no 'message' button, so I'm guessing they can't message me?  I hope so!

There .. I feel better Now!!

If you restrict someone:
  • You won’t get notifications when they message you, and your phone won’t ring when they call you.
  • You won’t be able to call or message them.
  • You won't see your conversation with them in your Chats list.
  • We won’t tell them that you restricted them.
  • They won’t be able to see when you’re online or if you’ve read their messages. You also won't see when they're online.
  • We’ll let you know if you’re about to enter a group chat with someone you restricted.

Restrict someone from your chat

  1. From Chats, tap and hold on your conversation with the person you’d like to restrict.
  2. Tap Restrict.
You can always block someone's profile on Messenger or turn notifications off for a conversation too.
