Sometimes people who have blocked you or deleted their accounts will appear in the All tab of the search results, but these people will not show up in the People tab.
If you can’t find the profile, they may have deleted their account or blocked you from seeing it; however, they may also have set their privacy settings high enough that you can’t search for them on Facebook. If you do see the account, try tapping or clicking it. You’ll be able to see a limited view of the profile if you aren’t blocked.

Select the Search bar. Enter your friend’s name. Select their name in the drop-down box. Select their profile image.
If you don’t see the name and picture here, the person has either blocked you or deleted their account. One way to find out is by asking the friend whose page you’re on to verify the account’s existence.
If you aren’t logged in, enter your email address and password in the top-right side of the page before continuing. This method only works if you or the person whom you suspect blocked you had at least a one-message conversation with each other. You’ll need to use the Facebook website version of Messenger, since the mobile app occasionally still shows blocked accounts.
You may have to scroll down through this column to find the conversation.
They blocked you. When someone blocks you, you can’t reply to their messages or visit their profile. They deleted their account. Unfortunately, the exact same thing happens when someone deletes their account.
This is the only way to ensure that you’ve been blocked (or haven’t been blocked) without contacting the person directly, but some will consider it to be an invasion of privacy.
Alternatively, look for an indication that they deleted their Facebook page. Many people will announce that they have closed their Facebook account on alternate social media.
Only do this as a last resort—if a long-term friend has blocked you, for example, it might be worth talking to them to try to salvage the relationship. Otherwise, it might be best to take the hit and move on.
