Today’s quick tech tip….
How to block someone on Facebook Messenger
If you use Facebook Messenger there might come a time when you want to block someone from sending you future messages.
It could be someone that’s trying to scam you in some way. Or it could be someone that just irritates you to no end.
Whatever the reason might be, if you want to prevent someone from ever contacting you again via Messenger, it’s very easy to do.
If you use the Desktop Messenger from within the Facebook website, simply hover your mouse pointer over the person’s name in the messages list and click the three dots that will pop up over on the right. Then click Block.
If you use the Messenger mobile app, just tap and hold your finger on the person’s name and then select Block from the menu after it pops up.
