While Twitter is a great platform for following breaking news and engaging in dumb fights with strangers, it can get messy when you get tired of a follower and choose to block them. In an attempt to help users from going on a “blocking” spree, Twitter recently introduced a new feature that allows you to simply unfollow followers you didn’t necessarily ask for. Here’s what you need to do to remove a follower on Twitter without blocking them.
How to remove a follower on Twitter
One of the most awkward moments you’ll have on Twitter is when you decide to block someone—and said follower decides to call you out for blocking them.

Here are the simple steps you need to take to remove a follower on Twitter.

More new Twitter features
In addition to making it easier to unfollow unwanted followers, Twitter also recently launched its Twitter Spaces feature to the public and announced that its Twitter Blue premium subscription is expanding to the United States and New Zealand.
The Twitter Spaces feature is similar to the popular audio-based Clubhouse platform and allows Twitter users the ability to host and join interactive conference calls. Meanwhile, Twitter Blue first rolled out in Australia and Canada and is a paid-for subscription that enhances the social media platform with features including the ability to create a Bookmark Folder and “undo” a sent tweet.
