    Trying to unblock a friend on Xbox but it won't let me.

    Hello!

    Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

    An alternative you can try is using the Xbox app for mobile devices or PCs by following these steps.

    1. Open the Xbox app on your PC or mobile device.

    2. Use the search bar to enter the Gamertag of the person you want to unblock.

    3. Once you find their profile, tap the menu icon (three dots) next to their name.

    4. Select the “Unblock” option.

    I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

    Best Regards.

    Two People Unblocking Each Other

    No I never answered my own question. If you read carefully, I said I know what to do to unblock somebody. Then I asked how can I unblock somebody when we've blocked each other? This means I explained that I know how to unblock somebody when he hasn't
    blocked me. This means things are harder to deal with when we've blocked each other because if I send him a message, invite or friends request, he won't get either of them so that I can unblock him, same thing visa-versa if he tries to unblock me. I was
    asking if there's another way to unblock somebody when he's also blocked me, such as, is there a block list for me to unblock him from or can I unblock him by contacting Xbox Live?

    Why can’t I unblock them?

    Hello this is Tyla and I’m afraid this did not work when I unblock them it still gives me the option to unblock them again this has been going on since yesterday.edit:I have just tried again and it still will not let me unblock him. Please let me know if this is fixable.

    Still getting 'online' notifications from blocked users

    Hey SnuffMyBoon,

    I just tried this with a random account on the PC Xbox App - it seems if you block someone and then unblock them, they still remain your friend. I would try unblocking them then removing them as a friend - this might stop the notifications.

    Hope this helps!

    Regards,
