Removing vs blocking members from a Facebook group
Before we would show you the actual processes, I just want to clarify one thing.
What is the difference between removing a Facebook group member vs. blocking him? Not much, but there is one important distinction.
If you only remove a member from the Facebook group, he can join back later any time he wants.
However, if you block someone from a Facebook group, he won’t be able to join the group again. What’s more, he won’t even see that this group exists. A blocked group member is also someone who can’t be invited to the Facebook group.
But first, let’s how to remove a member from a Facebook,
How to remove someone from a Facebook group?
Here is how to remove members from a Facebook group:
- Open the Facebook group.
- Under the group cover photo, click on ‘Members’

- Click on the three dots.
- Select ‘Remove member’
- You can also check the box to delete the profile’s recent activity.
- And also check the boxes to not only remove but block him from the group.
- Click on ‘Confirm’
Now, this Facebook group member has been removed from the group. It might take a couple of minutes to get him removed from the group.
How to block someone from a Facebook group?
You can also block a person directly from the Facebook group:
- Open the Facebook group.
- Under the group cover photo, click on ‘Members’
- Search for the member you want to block.

How to unblock someone from a Facebook group?
If you change your mind and want somebody to join your group again, you can unblock him.
Here is how to unblock someone from a Facebook group:
- Open the Facebook group where the person has been blocked from.
- Click on ‘Members.’
- Search for the blocked member.
- Click on ‘Unblock’.
- Confirm that you want to unblock him.
Once you unblock someone, he will be able to join back to the Facebook group.
Can’t remove someone from a Facebook group
If you can’t remove or block someone from a Facebook group, the most likely reasons are the following:
- You are not a Facebook group admin. Even moderators can’t remove someone from a Facebook group, so you have to have admin access to the group if you want to block or remove people from the group.
- If the person has left the group before you decided to block him, there is no way to block or remove him as his profile won’t show up under group members.
