Social media is an important part of developing and maintaining successful professional relationships. LinkedIn is no exception – and when it comes to networking and staying connected with colleagues, peers and potential employers, it pays to be on top of who you are blocking, and how to unblock them. In this article, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions and tips for unblocking contacts and reconnecting with valuable contacts on LinkedIn.

I. Understanding LinkedIn Connections and Unblocking

LinkedIn is a popular professional networking site that helps you establish and strengthen professional relationships. Understanding the nuances of what connection requests mean and how they should be handled can help you make the most of the platform.

Accepting or Ignoring Requests:
You can either accept or ignore connection requests. By accepting, you are allowing someone to view your profile and you gain access to their profile. Ignoring the invitation will cause it to be deleted. You can also block someone before you accept or ignore the request.

Blocking Connections:
Blocking someone means that they can’t view your profile or request to connect with you. This option can be used when you don’t want someone to follow you, or you don’t want to receive a connection request from them. You can also unblock someone if you change your mind.

  • To block someone, go to the ‘Connections’ page of your profile.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the list and select the ‘Blocked Connections’ tab.
  • From there, you can type in the person’s name to block them and unblock them if desired.

II. Step-by-Step Instructions on Unblocking on LinkedIn

Blocking someone on LinkedIn can help protect your online privacy and security. Yet, there may come a time when you need to unblock someone. If this is the case, here is a step-by-step guide on how to unblock someone on LinkedIn.

1. Go to Linkedin Settings. On a computer or mobile device, log into your LinkedIn account and head to your settings page. You can get to it by clicking the “Me” icon in the top menu, followed by the “Settings & Privacy” option.

2. View Your Blocked Members. In the Settings page, look for the “Privacy” tab and go to the “Blocking” section. Here is where you can view a list of all the people that you blocked on LinkedIn.

3. Unblock Connections. Go to the individual that you want to unblock on this list and click “Unblock.” For the next 48 hours, the person won’t be able to add you as a connection or reach out to you. After 48 hours have elapsed, the user can add you as a connection or contact you, according to the privacy settings you have selected.

III. Tips and Tricks on Unblocking Others

In order to unblock someone, it is important to understand the rules and regulations set by the particular platform or application. Here are some tips and tricks to help you out:

  • For platforms such as Facebook, unblocking a person requires you to manually go to your settings, find the blocked list, then select the person you wish to unblock.
  • For applications such as WhatsApp, you will have to delete the chat of the person you wish to unblock and then reinitiate a chat with them.

Be Respectful. It is important to remember that unblocking someone should be done with respect and politeness. Do not block another person without their knowledge or consent, and do not use unblocking as a way to harass someone.

  • Be mindful of the conversation and make sure to apologize if you had any disputes before the instance of unblocking.
  • Avoid bringing up any previous issues and let the slate be clean.

IV. Contacting Customer Support When Unblocking Requests Fail

At times, customers have difficulty in unblocking requests. In such cases, customers can seek help from the customer support team to resolve the issue.

To contact the customer support team, the customers can try the following ways:

  • Call on the customer care number: A customer can dial the customer care number and speak to a customer care agent to discuss the issue.
  • Live Chat: Users can start a live chat session with the customer support executive and enquire about the issue they are facing.
  • Email Support: Users can send their query via email to the customer support team and get the resolution for their problem.

Once the customer gets in touch with the customer support executive, they can explain the problem and request assistance in resolving the issue. The customer support executives will be more than happy to help the customers.
