Learn how to see who blocked you on Twitter

The Twitter app lets you connect and interact with people from diverse backgrounds. You can like, share, retweet, and comment on people's tweets. Plus, you can shoot them direct messages (DMs) for a personalized conversation.

Like other social media platforms, Twitter users want to keep certain users from their radar. The app enables this via the block button. So, you can block other users, and they can block you, too.

How to See Who Blocked You on Twitter

For privacy reasons, Twitter provides no notification when a user blocks you. However, you can find out manually or use third-party services.

Check Manually

Do you suspect a specific user blocked you? You can check the user's Twitter profile manually.

Here's how to do it:

1. Open Twitter

2. Click on the search button at the bottom

   
   
   

3. Enter the target username in the search bar

   
   
   

4. Click on the target's handle in the result. The user's profile will appear

   
   
   

5. If you see "you're blocked," that account has blocked you.

   
   
   

Note: you can't see the "following" and "followers" lists of users that blocked you. Also, you won't see their comments and likes and can't send them a direct message.

Use a Third-Party App

1. Visit the Blolook website.

2. Click on log in with Twitter.

The Blolook app is free and available on mobile and the web.

What Happens to Blocked Accounts?

Blocked users can't connect, in any way, to you. Here are what happens to blocked accounts:

1. They can't send direct messages to you.

2. They can't view your interactions, including comments, likes, tweets, and retweets. This means they can't interact with you.

3. They can't receive any notification about your Twitter activities.

4. They can't mention you in their tweet.

How to Address Blocking on Twitter

Being blocked on Twitter can be disheartening, mainly if it's from a friend or family.

However, there are some helpful tips to address it. This includes:

• Checking your relationship status with the blocker.

  Ensure the blocker is a friend, family member, or close connection. This makes it easier to reach them on other platforms.

• Reaching the Blocker on Other Platforms

  Use WhatsApp, Instagram, and other popular social media platforms to talk to your friend about the situation.

• Wait for a response

  Wait for the blocker's final decision. Remember that blocking people is a privacy right on Twitter, and you should respect it.
