Blocking and unblocking are two weapons to be safe from online bullying and annoying individuals. If you don’t want to see posts by a certain person, you’ve got the right to block the person on Twitter. Once you feel that you’ve given enough time to cool-off, you can unblock the blocked person. Here we’re enlisting the steps to block and unblock a user on Twitter:
Blocking on the web –>
Blocking from a Tweet (This method works same on all the three platforms):
Click the icon located at the top of a Tweet from account you wish to block. Click Block, and then select Block to confirm.
Blocking from a profile:
Go to the profile page of the account you wish to block. Click the more icon on their profile page. Select Block from the menu. Click Block to confirm.
Blocking on iOS –>
Visit the profile page of the account you wish to block. Tap the gear icon Tap Block, and then select Block to confirm.
Blocking on Android –>
Visit the profile page of the account you wish to block. Tap the overflow icon Tap Block, and then select Block to confirm.
Unblocking –>
So you’ve let go, and you think you can unblock someone. This is how you do it:
Visit the blocked account’s profile on Twitter. Click or tap the Blocked button . Confirm your action to unblock the account by selecting Unblock on Twitter for iOS, and ‘Yes’ on Twitter for Android.
Personally, I don’t think virtual fights should be given any more importance than scuffles you had as a kid. However, I do think that if blocking someone gives you peace of mind, so be it! No matter which platform are you on, it just needs a few clicks or taps and you can enjoy troll-free social networking.
