Who Has Blocked Me on Twitter?

Do you suspect that someone has blocked you on Twitter?

The bad news is that when someone blocks your Twitter account, you won’t get any notification telling you you’ve been blocked.

The good news, however, is that there is a way of telling if someone has blocked you:

1. Open the Twitter app.
2. Tap on the search icon at the bottom of the screen.
3. Click the search bar and enter the name of the person that you suspect to have blocked you.
   • If their profile is visible, tap on it, and you will see a message saying they have blocked you.
   • If their profile is not searchable, chances are you’ve already been blocked; explaining why you can’t search and find their Twitter account.

You can do nothing when someone blocks you on Twitter unless you contact them using other platforms and find out why they have blocked you on Twitter.

Blocking Twitter accounts is not a new thing.

Many people often realize they have been blocked, and you, too, could have your list of blocked accounts for various reasons.
