+## Pi-hole Blocklist Blocking Legitimate Apps
+
+### Facebook Blocklist Breaking Messenger Kids (2026-03-05)
+**Symptoms**: iPad could not connect to Facebook Messenger Kids. App would not load or send/receive messages. Disconnecting iPad from WiFi (using cellular) restored functionality.
+
+**Root Cause**: The `anudeepND/blacklist/master/facebook.txt` blocklist was subscribed in Pi-hole, which blocked all core Facebook domains needed by Messenger Kids.
+
+**Blocked Domains (from pihole.log)**:
+| Domain | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `edge-mqtt.facebook.com` | MQTT real-time message transport |
+| `graph.facebook.com` | Facebook Graph API (login, contacts, profiles) |
+| `graph-fallback.facebook.com` | Graph API fallback (blocked via CNAME chain) |
+| `www.facebook.com` | Core Facebook domain |
+
+**Allowed Domains** (not on the blocklist, resolved fine):
+- `dgw.c10r.facebook.com` - Data gateway
+- `mqtt.fallback.c10r.facebook.com` - MQTT fallback
+- `chat-e2ee.c10r.facebook.com` - E2E encrypted chat
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Find blocked domains for a specific client IP
+ssh pihole "docker exec pihole grep 'CLIENT_IP' /var/log/pihole/pihole.log | grep 'gravity blocked'"
+
+# Check which blocklist contains a domain
+ssh pihole "docker exec pihole pihole -q edge-mqtt.facebook.com"
+# Output: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anudeepND/blacklist/master/facebook.txt (block)
+```
+
+**Resolution**: Removed the Facebook blocklist from primary Pi-hole (secondary didn't have it). The blocklist contained ~3,997 Facebook domains.
+
+**Pi-hole v6 API - Deleting a Blocklist**:
+```bash
+# Authenticate and get session ID
+SID=$(curl -s -X POST 'http://PIHOLE_IP:PORT/api/auth' \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"password":"APP_PASSWORD"}' \
+  | python3 -c 'import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["session"]["sid"])')
+
+# DELETE uses the URL-encoded list ADDRESS as path parameter (NOT numeric ID)
+# The ?type=block parameter is REQUIRED
+curl -s -X DELETE \
+  "http://PIHOLE_IP:PORT/api/lists/URL_ENCODED_LIST_ADDRESS?type=block" \
+  -H "X-FTL-SID: $SID"
+# Success returns HTTP 204 No Content
+
+# Update gravity after removal
+ssh pihole "docker exec pihole pihole -g"
+
+# Verify domain is no longer blocked
+ssh pihole "docker exec pihole pihole -q edge-mqtt.facebook.com"
+```
+
+**Important Pi-hole v6 API Notes**:
+- List endpoints use the URL-encoded blocklist address as path param, not numeric IDs
+- `?type=block` query parameter is mandatory for DELETE operations
+- Numeric ID DELETE returns 200 with `{"took": ...}` but DOES NOT actually delete (silent failure)
+- Successful address-based DELETE returns HTTP 204 (no body)
+- Must run `pihole -g` (gravity update) after deletion for changes to take effect
+
+**Future Improvement (TODO)**: Implement Pi-hole v6 group/client-based approach:
+- Create a group for the iPad that bypasses the Facebook blocklist
+- Re-add the Facebook blocklist assigned to the default group only
+- Assign the iPad's IP to a "Kids Devices" client group that excludes the Facebook list
+- This would maintain Facebook blocking for other devices while allowing Messenger Kids
+- See: Pi-hole v6 Admin -> Groups/Clients for per-device blocklist management
