In fact, it&#8217;s easier than you might think. Follow these steps to unblock someone on Twitter, and then you&#8217;ll have access to them again. Just make sure to unblock yourself before you do this, too. Listed below are three steps to unblock someone on Twitter. This article is not meant to replace the advice of your social media manager.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soft_blocking\"><\/span>Soft blocking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it can be irritating to see a follower unfollow you, there are some ways to regain your popularity and get more followers. One option is to use soft blocking. Unlike the hard blocking method, which blocks people from following you, a soft block does not prevent you from visiting your follower&#8217;s profile. If you unfollowed someone accidentally, they may be able to re-follow you if they understand why they were blocked.<\/p>\n<p>The first way to remove a Twitter user from your list of followers is by clicking the &#8216;3 dot&#8217; icon next to their profile. This will bring up a list of all their followers. Tap the &#8216;Remove this follower&#8217; link on the person&#8217;s profile. Once this is done, Twitter will ask you to confirm your decision. Once you click confirm, you will be notified that they are no longer a follower of yours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollowing\"><\/span>Unfollowing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unfollowing someone on Twitter is easy. You simply go to their profile page and click the three dots next to the &#8220;Following&#8221; button. From there, you can select &#8220;mute&#8221; from the drop-down menu. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you&#8217;ll no longer see that person&#8217;s updates or tweets. If you&#8217;d like to follow someone again, you can unfollow them again.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure how to unfollow someone on Twitter, check out the official documentation. Twitter provides instructions in the help section. However, you&#8217;ll need to log in using your username and password to unfollow the person. If you don&#8217;t remember it, just search the username in the search field. You&#8217;ll see a message asking you to confirm the unfollowing. Click the link to confirm. If you&#8217;re not able to confirm, try texting &#8220;UNFOLLOW&#8221; to your carrier&#8217;s shortcode.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking\"><\/span>Unblocking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re feeling a little lonely on Twitter, you might be wondering how you can unblock someone on Twitter. Fortunately, it&#8217;s easier than you think. Here are a few tips to help you do just that. Follow the tips below to unblock a user on Twitter. Then, try sending them a message. Afterward, you can follow them back. Unblocking someone on Twitter is quick and easy, and you&#8217;ll soon be on your way to chatting with your friends and followers.<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure that the person you&#8217;re trying to unblock hasn&#8217;t blocked you yet. When you block someone on Twitter, they won&#8217;t be able to see your profile. You should be able to tell if they&#8217;ve blocked you by clicking on their profile, as Twitter requires a verification code to unblock you. If this doesn&#8217;t work, try logging out and re-logging into your account. If the issue persists, try doing the process on your laptop or desktop instead.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_if_youve_been_blocked\"><\/span>Checking if you&#8217;ve been blocked<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To check if you&#8217;ve been blocked on Twitter, you can visit the account of a person you follow. Once you&#8217;ve opened the account, you&#8217;ll notice the lock icon next to their name. This means they have blocked you. You can also try to find out who blocked you by visiting their profile. You can also use a third-party service to check if you&#8217;ve been blocked.<\/p>\n<p>While some people block others based on content, it&#8217;s not always the case. Some people simply block you because you don&#8217;t agree with what they say. Others block you for reasons that might not be so petty. A former lover may not want to know about your personal life after a breakup. Checking if you&#8217;ve been blocked on Twitter is easy if you don&#8217;t receive notifications.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reporting_a_user_for_spam\"><\/span>Reporting a user for spam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a victim of spamming, you can now report a user using Twitter&#8217;s report feature. Previously, you could only report a user for spam in general, not their specific kind. Twitter&#8217;s documentation confirms that this has changed. You can now report spammers on the web as well as in its mobile apps. If you are a victim of spam, you should follow Twitter&#8217;s instructions to prevent further damage.<\/p>\n<p>The process for reporting abuse on Twitter used to be very complex, and users often had to work out which rule was broken. However, Twitter has since made the process a lot easier and intuitive, and has seen a 50 percent increase in reported cases that result in action. You can choose to report an entire account, or just specific Tweets, which will be investigated further. To report a single user, you must select the three dots next to their Tweet, and then click the &#8220;report&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_a_user\"><\/span>Unblocking a user<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have blocked someone on Twitter, you can remove the restriction by following them back. To do this, simply hover your mouse over the blocked account and click Unblock to allow them to follow you. This process will work for anyone, and it&#8217;s completely free!

First, go to the person&#8217;s profile and click on the Blocked button. Clicking this button will allow you to view their profile. Once you have done so, you can follow that person and view their tweets.
