You can do this in three ways: using the Soft block technique, blocking a follower without blocking them, or by using third-party software. Below, we&#8217;ll discuss the Soft block technique and the third-party software that you can use to remove a follower.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soft_block_technique\"><\/span>Soft block technique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can unfollow someone on Twitter by using the &#8220;soft block&#8221; technique. While the soft block technique is not available on mobile versions of Twitter, you can remove followers using the desktop version. Unlike blocking users entirely, this technique does not prevent you from viewing their tweets or messages. If you ever decide to follow them back, you will not be notified. This technique also doesn&#8217;t remove your Twitter account from search results.<\/p>\n<p>A soft block technique forces the person to unfollow you, which reduces interaction with them. While the unfollow will prevent them from visiting your profile, they can still re-follow you. The unfollower will just assume that Twitter has glitched and will not be following you anymore. If you&#8217;re trying to remove a follower, you&#8217;ll want to make sure you don&#8217;t follow them again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_a_follower_without_blocking_them\"><\/span>Blocking a follower without blocking them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are fed up with someone constantly following you on Twitter, you may want to learn how to remove a follower without blocking them. The first step is to open their profile and click on the three dots, then choose block@username. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll be able to select users to remove from your list. If you don&#8217;t want to block a person individually, you can put them in a list to un-follow.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has been testing a new feature in order to prevent unwanted followers from seeing your tweets. The company hopes this new feature will encourage more conversations between users. Until then, you can remove an account from your list by clicking on the three dots next to their name. From there, click on &#8220;Remove follower.&#8221; This will prevent the account from seeing your tweets on your timeline. However, if you do decide to block a follower, make sure to delete all the posts you&#8217;ve made in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollowing_a_follower_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Unfollowing a follower on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few different reasons why you might be considering unfollowing a follower on Twitter. Perhaps you&#8217;ve posted a particularly infuriating tweet or your follower has just been unfollowing you. Whatever your reason, it&#8217;s important that you follow back. After all, you&#8217;d want to maintain a balance between following and unfollowing, and you don&#8217;t want your followers to feel left out.<\/p>\n<p>There are two basic ways to unfollow a follower on Twitter. The first is to select the person you want to unfollow. This is typically done by clicking the checkbox next to the follower&#8217;s picture. If you want to unfollow them all, you&#8217;ll need to save a list of followers first. The second method is to click the Unfollow all button, which is found on every page. Sometimes, this button isn&#8217;t visible. To avoid this, you can save all of your followers on a list on Twitter, or you can select one or more and click on the &#8220;Unfollow all&#8221; option.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, you can try to avoid being rude to the person who has followed you on Twitter. Remember that Twitter users want to exchange value and are likely to unfollow you if you do anything that goes against their preconceived notions. Rather than obsessing over followers, it&#8217;s more important to develop an engaged audience. In short, don&#8217;t let a follower&#8217;s unfollowing behavior deter you from engaging with them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_third-party_software\"><\/span>Using third-party software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are fed up with the same user, you can now block them with the use of third-party software. You&#8217;ll need to download the software to your computer, and it will help you unfollow any Twitter follower in bulk. Unlike Twitter&#8217;s own unfollowing mechanism, third-party software will not allow the user to know that they&#8217;ve been blocked. This new way will also prevent the user from creating another account to target the user and encourage more abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter is testing a new feature that will let you unfollow followers without blocking them. This new feature is more like a remote unfollow button than a full block. You can simply click on the three-dot menu next to the person who you want to remove, and you won&#8217;t receive any notification. The only difference between blocking and unblocking is that blocking a person&#8217;s account prevents you from viewing their tweets or sending them direct messages.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EhBwrcNGQns\" height=\"269\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Remove a Twitter Follower If you don&#8217;t want to receive replies from people you don&#8217;t know, you may wonder how to remove a Twitter follower.
