If you face bullying, bot spam, or simply unpleasant interactions with other users of Twitter, an account lockout can put an end to it. But if you block someone on Twitter, does he know you’ve blocked him?

How Twitter Blocking Works

You can quickly block any user on Twitter. Navigate to your profile (on the web or the official mobile app), select the three vertical dots next to the follow/follow button, and select Block @Username.

Blocking a user prevents them from following you from that account. If they try to follow you, Twitter displays a message, “You have been blocked from following this account at user request. »

How to Tell If Someone Blocked you on Twitter?

Twitter will not send you a notification if someone blocks you. The only way to know that you have been blocked is to visit the other user’s profile and see the Twitter block message.

If you suspect that someone has blocked you, you should investigate and confirm it. If you don’t even realize that a specific user has disappeared from your timeline, you may never know they have locked.

Also, the tweets from a user you’ve blocked are removed from your timeline if you previously followed them. Twitter also automatically removes the user you’ve blocked from your Twitter list. Followers. Also, your tweets don’t show up on a blocked user’s timeline if they previously followed you.

Track your blocked users

If you block many users, Twitter has some advanced options that you can take advantage of to keep track of everything. You can export a list of your blocked users, share your list with others, import someone else’s blocked user list, and manage your user list blocked imported separately from your full list.

To access this, select your photo from profile > Settings and privacy > Blocked accounts and. You should see a list of blocked users.

Is there a way to prevent someone from knowing that you have blocked them?

There is no way to prevent a user from knowing that you have locked it. If you block someone and visit your profile or try to follow you again, they will receive a message that they are blocked. But you can make your Twitter account private. In this way, you can check who follows you and avoid blocking people in the first place.

Twitter Muting: A Friendlier Alternative to Blocking

Blocking is usually the best way to achieve it if you want to stop communication between you and a particular user. However, if you don’t want to be bothered by a user in particular, but you don’t want to end the relationship permanently, you can mute it.

Mute is just what it sounds like: this handy feature allows you to temporarily (or maybe permanently) filter out all the noise another user is making on your main feed or in your @replies without unfollowing or blocking them.

Select the three vertical dots on a user’s profile and then select Mute @username.

The muted user can follow you, see your tweet, and even @reply to you, but you won’t see any of his tweets in your feed (if you follow him) or any of his @mentions in your notifications. If a muted account sends you a message, it will continue to appear in your direct messages.

If you think a blocked user may also be a spammer, you can report the account to Twitter.
