Moreover, blocked users can also send messages if they come to know that they are unblocked. Facebook’s data indicates that 85 percent of people had only one person on their block list unblocked due to the bug.

Egan writes:

“This issue has now been fixed and everyone has been blocked again. People who were affected will get a notification on Facebook encouraging them to check their blocked list,”

Facebook is not saying anything about what caused the bug, but they are only sending out a notification to the users who are affected by the bug.

There are many reasons that why people block others, but this new bug will definitely make the users uncomfortable. However, Facebook said that People affected by bug will get notifications.
