How to Unblock Someone on Twitter

If you've blocked someone, it's relatively easy to unblock them on Twitter. You can unblock them using Twitter in a web browser or on the Twitter app from your list of blocked accounts or from the user's profile page.

A side effect of blocking an account is they are no longer one of your followers, even after you unblock them. They will need to follow you again to read your tweets.

How to Unblock an Account on Twitter from the Blocked Accounts List

The Blocked Accounts list displays all of the Twitter users you have blocked. This method is especially useful if you want to unblock multiple accounts.

As an alternative to blocking an account, Twitter's mute feature removes an account's tweets from your timeline without unfollowing or blocking them. You also won't receive notifications from the user, but they can send direct messages.

Log in to your Twitter account.
Choose More in the left pane in a web browser or swipe right on the Twitter app to access the menu.
Select Settings and Privacy.
Under Settings, choose Privacy and Safety.
Choose Mute and block and then select Blocked Accounts. On the app, select Blocked Accounts.
Select the Blocked button on any account you have currently blocked to unblock them.
