How to Check Who Blocked You on Twitter

Twitter enables its users to customize their feed and filter out the content they don’t want to see. One of the options is to block someone. If you’re wondering whether you’ve been blocked on Twitter but not sure how to confirm it, you’re in the right place.

In this article, we’ll discuss how to check who blocked you on Twitter. Along with that, we’ll offer tips and tricks to use if you want to block someone without them realizing it or avoid seeing specific words.

How to Check Who Blocked You on Twitter

When someone blocks you, you won’t receive a notification about it.

Here’s what happens when you’re blocked:

• You don’t see the person’s tweets.
• You don’t receive notifications regarding their account.
• You don’t see comments or replies in a conversation by that person.
• You can technically send them a message, but they won’t receive it.

If you suspect you’ve been blocked on Twitter, the bad news is the app doesn’t offer insight into who did it and when. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way to find out who blocked you.

Namely, you can check who blocked you on Twitter manually. It might take some time to complete the process, but you can check it in a few seconds if you have a specific user in mind.

Follow the steps below to establish whether someone blocked you on Twitter:

1. Visit the Twitter website or launch the mobile app.
   
2. Search for the person in question.
   
3. If you see their profile, it means you’re not blocked. If you see “You’re blocked. You can’t follow or see [the user’s name] Tweets,“ it means they’ve blocked you.

Although some may consider not receiving a notification about being blocked unfortunate, Twitter has sound reasoning behind this decision. Namely, the whole purpose of blocking someone is to avoid unwanted or unnecessary interactions. Twitter respects its users’ privacy, which is why it doesn’t provide any information regarding people who blocked you. The same goes for when you block someone.

Use Third-Party Services to Check Who Blocked You on Twitter

Third-party services such as Blolook are helpful if you want to know how many people have blocked your account. But, the app doesn’t offer insight into the people’s names.

Here’s how to use it:

1. Open your browser and go to Blolook and then log in to your Twitter account.
2. Then, check the number of people who blocked you.
