If you’re wondering how to remove followers on Twitter, there are a few subtle yet effective methods to manage your followers without alerting them.
1. Block the Follower
Blocking someone is the most direct method. When you block a follower on Twitter, they can no longer view your tweets, follow you, or interact with your profile.
To block someone:
-
Visit their profile.
-
Click the three dots in the top-right corner.
-
Select Block from the dropdown.
This option is best if you want to completely cut off interaction.
2. Remove the Follower
If you don’t want to block but still wish to remove a follower, Twitter allows you to quietly do so. This way, they will no longer see your tweets in their feed, though your profile remains visible if it’s public. To remove a follower on Twitter, simply:
-
Go to their profile.
-
Click the three dots.
-
Select Remove follower.
This method is more discreet than blocking and ideal for subtle account control.
3. Make Your Twitter Account Private
If you want full control over who follows you, consider making your Twitter account private. When your tweets are protected, only approved followers can see them.
To do this:
-
Navigate to Settings and privacy.
-
Click Privacy and safety.
-
Under Tweet privacy, enable Protect your Tweets.
This setting is especially useful if you’re dealing with unwanted attention or spam followers.
Will They Be Notified?
No. Twitter does not notify users when they are blocked or removed as a follower. However, if someone has notifications turned on for your tweets, they might eventually notice they are no longer seeing updates from you.
