Blocking someone on Twitter is easy — maybe too easy.
It might happen after an argument, a spammy reply, or simply because your timeline needed peace for a while. But time passes, situations change, and suddenly, you realize you might want to see their posts again or start a fresh conversation.
That’s when you need to unblock them.
The problem? Finding and managing blocked accounts — especially if you’ve been on X for years — can take forever.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to unblock someone on Twitter directly through the platform and how to bulk-unblock multiple accounts automatically.

What Happens When You Unblock Someone
Before you start unblocking, it’s important to understand what this action actually means.
When you unblock someone on Twitter:
➡️ They can view your tweets again (if your account is public).
➡️ They can follow you, reply to your tweets, or mention you again.
➡️ You can also follow them back if you want to reconnect.
➡️ You can re-block them any time you wish.
However, unblocking doesn’t automatically re-follow them — Twitter resets that connection. So if you want their tweets in your feed, you’ll have to follow them again manually.
Why You Might Want to Unblock Someone
There are many valid reasons to unblock someone on X:
- You blocked them impulsively after a disagreement and now want to reconnect.
- The account you blocked was rebranded or taken over by someone else.
- You’re cleaning your blocklist and realized some users no longer post.
- You accidentally blocked someone while using mass actions or spam filters.
- You’re managing a brand account and want to re-open communication channels.
Whatever the reason, the process is easy — and I’ll show you both the manual and automated ways to do it.
How to Unblock Someone on Twitter (X)
You can unblock users either from their profile or from your blocked accounts list.
Let’s start with the built-in Twitter method.
🔹 Method 1 — Unblock Someone from Their Profile
If you know the specific account you want to unblock, here’s the easiest method:
1. Go to the user’s @username profile page.
2. You’ll see a red Blocked button near their profile name.
3. Click or tap Blocked → confirm Unblock.
4. The button will change to Follow or Following, confirming the unblock worked.
✅ Works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile.
Pro Tip: If you’re unsure whether you want to follow them back immediately, just leave them unblocked for a while. You’ll still be able to view their posts or replies if their profile is public.
🔹 Method 2 — Unblock from Your Blocked Accounts List
This method is best if you want to review or unblock multiple users at once.
On Desktop:
1. Click your Profile icon → select Settings & privacy.
2. Choose Privacy and safety → then Mute and block.
3. Click Blocked accounts to open your full list.
4. Find the account you want to unblock and click Blocked next to their username.
5. It’ll instantly change to Unblocked.
On Mobile (iOS or Android):
- Tap your Profile icon → select Settings & privacy.
- Go to Privacy and safety → then Mute and block → Blocked accounts.
- Tap Unblock beside the person’s handle → confirm.
Note: If you can’t find someone, they may have:
- Changed their username.
- Deactivated or deleted their account.
- Been permanently suspended by Twitter.
⚙️ Additional Tips:
🟠 Check Lists: If you had the user added to a private or public List, unblocking won’t automatically re-add them. You’ll have to do that manually.
🟠 Unblocking doesn’t remove old mutes. If you’ve muted their account, you’ll need to unmute separately under the “Muted accounts” section.
