In most cases, when you block someone on a social media platform, they can no longer contact you through the platform or see what you’re up to on the platform. Being one of the most widely used social media platforms in existence and a part of countless business environments all across the globe, Skype also provides users with the ability to block any Skype user they want to not have any interaction with on the Instant Messaging and calling platform. If you block someone on Skype and later want to unblock them, there is no need to fret as that too is entirely possible. When you block someone on Skype, the person you block is no longer able to call or message you through the platform and is also unable to see your Skype profile (and status) or if you’re ever online on Skype.

That being the case, if you want to unblock someone, you can simply unblock them from their listing in your Skype contact list, among other options.
