It\u2019s important to remember that the users who follow your profile don\u2019t have the same value. Some people are more valuable to your profile as they are active Twitter users. Not only do they engage with your content, but they will also share it with their followers. At the same time, some followers are inactive, post spam or are bot accounts. As these users affect your engagement metrics, knowing how to remove followers on Twitter, aka X, is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a great way to take control over your Twitter experience as you choose who can see your posts. Don\u2019t worry; removing followers from your profile is easy. You can do it on any device in more than one way.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing that comes to your mind could be, why you should learn how to remove a follower on Twitter\/X. Isn\u2019t it a good sign if your follower count increases? Yes, it is, as it signifies your account\u2019s reach is increasing. Also, the platform wants you to get more followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The social media network allows users to follow up to 5,000 accounts. Once you reach this figure, you won\u2019t be able to follow more profiles. The platform requires you to gain more followers before unlocking your account\u2019s follow feature. This is the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/using-twitter\/twitter-follow-limit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">follower to the following ratio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the platform doesn\u2019t mention what is a healthy follower ratio for an account. If you look at public figures, the follower-to-following ratio is significant. For example, Elon Musk has 148.7 million followers but only follows 378 accounts. In this case, his follower to the following ratio is 393,386. This means for every account he follows, 393,386 users follow him back. This ratio almost seems impossible unless you\u2019re a celebrity, athlete or public figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about 1:1? Isn\u2019t this a good target? Yes, but it can be hard to achieve. If you follow users on X, previously Twitter, you know everyone doesn\u2019t need to follow you back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, you can try to reach this ratio by removing fake followers from your account. This way, it is possible to hit the 1:1 ratio or even have more followers than people you follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, you want to focus on getting more followers. This not only helps increase engagement but also amplifies your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Remove_Followers_on_Twitter_Now_X_Why_Should_You_Do_It\"><\/span><strong>How To Remove Followers on Twitter, Now X: Why Should You Do It?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-side\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-side-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-side-box-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bulk-delete-head\">Bulk delete past tweets with one click<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"subscribe-to-unlock\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/login\/\">\n\t                 Sign in with Twitter <svg width=\"10\" height=\"10\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 10\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M9.1605 0H0.849401C0.626751 0 0.413219 0.0884475 0.255781 0.245885C0.0983438 0.403323 0.00989626 0.616854 0.00989626 0.839505C0.00989626 1.06216 0.0983438 1.27569 0.255781 1.43312C0.413219 1.59056 0.626751 1.67901 0.849401 1.67901H7.13309L0.256291 8.55665C0.17611 8.63409 0.112154 8.72673 0.0681567 8.82915C0.0241591 8.93157 0.00100033 9.04173 3.16969e-05 9.1532C-0.000936937 9.26467 0.020304 9.37522 0.062515 9.47839C0.104726 9.58156 0.167062 9.67529 0.245885 9.75412C0.324709 9.83294 0.418441 9.89527 0.521613 9.93748C0.624785 9.9797 0.735331 10.0009 0.846799 9.99997C0.958268 9.999 1.06843 9.97584 1.17085 9.93184C1.27327 9.88785 1.36591 9.82389 1.44335 9.74371L8.32099 2.86649V9.1506C8.32099 9.37325 8.40944 9.58678 8.56688 9.74422C8.72431 9.90166 8.93785 9.9901 9.1605 9.9901C9.38315 9.9901 9.59668 9.90166 9.75412 9.74422C9.91155 9.58678 10 9.37325 10 9.1506V0.839505C10 0.616854 9.91155 0.403323 9.75412 0.245885C9.59668 0.0884475 9.38315 0 9.1605 0Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t                <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/themes\/generatepress_child\/assets\/images\/single-post-img.svg\" alt=\"img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t   <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aim to increase your follower count, why should you learn how to remove followers on Twitter aka X? Isn\u2019t it better for your follower-to-following ratio if you let things be? No, because not every user is genuine when you get more followers. For instance, go to your profile and look at your follower list. You\u2019ll notice several profiles fit into these categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They don\u2019t have a profile picture or header image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The usernames are full of numbers or seem random.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Their bio links to a suspicious or not safe for work (NSFW) website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They follow many accounts, but only a handful of users follow them back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They barely tweet or retweet. When they do post, it is random.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These accounts tend to be fake followers and don\u2019t contribute to the growth of your account. For example, you have 1,000 followers. However, no matter what or when you post, you only get 100 likes. You must look at the remaining 900 followers to see why they don\u2019t engage with your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/twitter-algorithm-discover-how-the-algorithm-functions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter\u2019s algorithm<\/a> uses engagement to determine whether it should recommend your post to users who don\u2019t follow you. Low engagement means the platform won\u2019t boost your visibility and reach. Also, if you want to collaborate with brands, they\u2019ll look at your engagement rates. They use this metric to determine whether they should work with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason is that you used a third-party service to increase your follower count. Although it gave you the desired results, your engagement rate is the same. When you look closer, you notice several users are bot accounts. This how to remove a follower on X\/Twitter guide will help you clear out these users from your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-greenwish-13240226.jpg\" alt=\"Twitter for Android app\u2019s splash screen.\" class=\"wp-image-1337\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Remove_Someone_as_a_Follower_on_Twitter_aka_X\"><\/span><strong>How To Remove Someone as a Follower on Twitter aka X?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know why you should do this, let\u2019s explore how to remove someone as a follower on Twitter aka X. First, let\u2019s cover the steps on how to remove followers on X\/Twitter using any device:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to your home timeline. This is where you can view tweets from accounts you follow and users the algorithm recommends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using the platform\u2019s search feature, find the account you want to remove as a follower. Open this user\u2019s profile page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Towards the right side, you\u2019ll see a three-dot icon. On Twitter for Android and iOS, these three dots are vertical. The web version has three horizontal dots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select it and pick <strong>Block @\u201d x,\u201d<\/strong> where x is the profile\u2019s username.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The platform will ask you if you are sure about your decision. Select <strong>Block<\/strong> to confirm<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you stop here, the user won\u2019t be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Follow you again until you unblock them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Send a direct message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>View your tweets, retweets and replies in their timeline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you combine all the above steps, it is a <strong>Soft Block<\/strong>.

What if you don\u2019t want to follow the soft block method? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TwitterSupport\/status\/1435323978734841857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In October 2021<\/a>, the platform introduced a new feature to control who follows you. However, this is only available on mobile and desktop browsers. If you want to remove followers on Twitter for Android or iOS, use the <strong>Soft Block<\/strong> method. The guide below explains how to remove followers on Twitter without blocking them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit your account\u2019s home timeline by logging into your X, previously Twitter, account on a browser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the icon which looks like a magnifying glass. This is the search icon. Enter the username and open the user\u2019s profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beneath the header image, you\u2019ll find the vertical three-dot icon. Click it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Remove This Follower<\/strong> in the drop-down menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Remove<\/strong> to confirm your decision.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s another way to remove followers on X\/Twitter without blocking them. Again, you can only do this on X or Twitter for web. The instructions below cover the alternate method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There\u2019s a quick navigation menu on the left side. Select <strong>Profile<\/strong> from this menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for the number of followers in your account. This is below the profile photo. Click the figure to open your follower list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the user you want to unfollow from this list. Next to the <strong>Following<\/strong> button, there\u2019s a horizontal three-dot menu.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click it and choose <strong>Remove This Follower<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Remove<\/strong>, and the user will no longer be your follower.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/marten-bjork-FVtG38Cjc_k-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"An individual looking for a user they want to remove from their follower list.\" class=\"wp-image-3043\" style=\"width:320px;height:480px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Remove_All_Followers_on_Twitter_at_Once\"><\/span><strong>How To Remove All Followers on Twitter at Once?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How to remove all followers on Twitter at once is possible. However, there is a catch. You need to remove each follower from your profile manually. This method works when you have a handful of followers in your account. However, you can\u2019t rely on this solution if there are hundreds or thousands of followers. You\u2019ll spend hours, if not days, reviewing your list of followers individually. So, how to remove followers on Twitter in bulk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Remove_Followers_on_Twitter_With_Circleboom\"><\/span><strong>How To Remove Followers on Twitter With Circleboom?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The only solution is to use a third-party service like Circleboom Twitter. Currently, there isn\u2019t any other service that allows you to remove followers in bulk. Fortunately, how to remove followers on Twitter is straightforward when you use Circleboom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You need to enter your Twitter login credentials and choose the type of followers you want the app to list.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose inactive accounts and see how many users pop up. You can also select unwanted accounts like fake or spam users.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After it lists out the profiles, you can remove followers in bulk. Click the checkbox before the user\u2019s profile photo to select the account. If you want to remove all followers, you can select the first checkbox.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>Remove Selected Followers,<\/strong> and a pop-up asks if you\u2019re sure about your decision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Remove Followers<\/strong> in the pop-up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you follow all the instructions, Circleboom Twitter removes followers from your profiles. Generally, if you automate such functions, there\u2019s always the chance Twitter will suspend your account. This is because it is against the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/rules-and-policies\/twitter-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">platform\u2019s rules<\/a>. Thankfully, you don\u2019t have to worry when using this third-party service. It prioritizes keeping your account safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does it do this? This service removes followers from your profile, one by one. In a way, it is as though you\u2019re doing it manually. The only difference is you don\u2019t have to focus on doing this activity. You can rely on Circleboom to handle everything for you. By removing followers in this manner, the third-party service evades detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the pace at which it removes followers, this process can take time. As a result, it will take a while before you see your account has zero followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/claudio-schwarz-FMJAYeRwtDY-unsplash-5.jpg\" alt=\"An individual looking at Twitter\u2019s Explore page for current events.\" class=\"wp-image-1339\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Remove_Followers_on_Twitter_Now_X_Enable_Protect_Your_Tweets\"><\/span><strong>How To Remove Followers on Twitter, Now X: Enable Protect Your Tweets<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your profile is public, so your account is visible to anyone.

Only if you accept the request will the user be able to view your Twitter activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also hides your account from search engines and X or Twitter searches. In other words, the platform makes it seem like you\u2019ve gone dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protect_Your_Tweets_on_Twitter_for_Android_iOS_and_Web\"><\/span><strong>Protect Your Tweets on Twitter for Android, iOS and Web<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With this guide, along with the instructions on how to remove a follower on Twitter, you\u2019ll have complete privacy. Here\u2019s what you should do to enable the <strong>Protect Your Tweet<\/strong> feature on Twitter for Android, iOS and web:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There\u2019s a quick navigation menu from which you\u2019ve to select <strong>More<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <strong>Settings and Support<\/strong>, choose the option <strong>Settings and Privacy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the first settings page, select <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong>. A new settings menu appears on the right side. Open the <strong>Audience and Tagging<\/strong> page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under this tab, <strong>Protect Your Tweets<\/strong> is the first setting. Select it, and you\u2019ll now have a private profile.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long story short, you can remove followers on X, previously Twitter, by visiting their profiles. Another option is to open the follower list and choose which accounts to remove. If you want to bulk remove followers, the only solution is to use a third-party service like Circleboom Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/features\/erase-tweets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">delete all tweets<\/a> to protect your privacy. This is essential if you have hundreds of posts over a year old. If someone checks out every tweet, they may want to learn something about you. This can happen when you\u2019re applying for a new role in a company. Hiring managers will check your Twitter profile to learn about your online behavior. If there are sensitive posts, it can leave the wrong impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking for a job, the best solution is to delete all your tweets with TweetEraser. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/download-twitter-archive-saving-all-your-twitter-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download your Twitter archive<\/a> and share it with this service.
