    Key Highlights

    • Log in to your account on twitter.com → tap the Profile option → click on the Followers menu → scroll down to the follower you want → tap the three-dotted icon → choose Remove this follower → tap on Remove.

    Twitter is a popular medium where you can share thoughts for free. Like other platforms, you can follow others, and others can follow you. If you haven’t configured the privacy settings to public, anyone can follow your profile. So there is a high chance of spam accounts on your follower list. Fortunately, Twitter provides a built-in setting to remove followers from your profile.

    Instead of blocking the respective person, you can simply remove them from your follower list by logging into your account on a browser. Currently, the feature is unavailable on mobile apps (Android & iPhone).
