If You Block Someone on X (formerly Twitter), Do They Know?

But if you block someone on X, do they know you blocked them?

Does X Notify You When Somebody Blocks You?

X won’t send you a notification if someone blocks you.

If you suspect you were blocked by someone, it’s up to you to investigate and confirm it.

X also automatically removes the user you blocked from your followers list.

Likewise, your tweets no longer show up in a blocked user’s timeline if they previously followed you.

SelectAdvanced options, then choose to either export your list or import one.

Is There a Way to Prevent Someone From Finding Out You’ve Blocked Them?

There’s no way to keep a user from finding out you’ve blocked them.

But, you canmake your X account private.

Muting is just what it sounds like.

To do this, just select thethree vertical dotson a user’s profile, then selectMute @username.

But, muting has no effect on direct messaging.

If a muted account messages you, it still shows up in your direct messages.

If you believe a blocked user may also be a spammer, you could report the account to X.
