We are all sick of random bots and
Bieber-wannabes spamming our Twitter feeds with gibberish or
self-promoting posts. Thankfully, you can enjoy your Twitter timeline
without being subject to these unwanted tweets. Here's how to block
people on Twitter.
How to Block Someone on Twitter
1. Click on the offender's name. You can do so from your Twitter feed or from your Followers page.
2. Hit the Gear button.

The
offending person won't be able to see your tweets on his or her
timeline, nor will you be able to see theirs. They also won't be able to
follow you or add your account to their lists. Of course, if your
Twitter profile is public, all someone has to do is look up your name
and go to your profile to see your tweets, so be sure to lock your
account if you want some privacy.
Regret your decision? Just repeat step 1 and click the button that says Blocked, and then hit Unblock.
How to Unfollow Someone on Twitter
If
you just want to stop seeing tweets from particular people but don't
want them to stop receiving your very important tweets, simply Unfollow
them. This way you get to keep your follower-to-following ratio
respectable.
4. Hover over the blue Following button after repeating steps 1 and 2 above.
The button will turn red and say Unfollow.
5. Click Unfollow.
You can always re-follow someone later, but then they will know what you did.
