Simply go to the profile you want to cast out of your online entourage, click the three dots to the left of the follow button, and select Remove this follower. You can also go to your profile page, click Followers , hit the three dots next to the follower you want to get rid of, and choose Remove this follower , but this approach will be tedious for anyone with more than a handful of followers. If you know them offline, though, you can always play it off as a site glitch or mistake.

Or just be honest and tell them they need to get their twit together. Go to the profile you want to unfollow you, tap the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen, and then tap Block.

Now testing on web: remove a follower without blocking them. However, the feature is still under testing so only a few users will have the functionality active. The social network in recent months has been working on functions to give more privacy to users of the platform. Recently, it is now allowed to uncheck yourself from a thread. Another expected function, notified by Bloomberg, is archive old tweets after a certain period of time, to prevent the content of the social network from remaining available to all users.

These functions, however, have not yet been officially confirmed by Twitter. Have you watched our new videos on YouTube? Subscribe to our channel!
