You can unfollow someone following you on Twitter if you don’t like them and don’t want to ban them. Here’s how you do it on Twitter’s desktop and mobile sites, which requires a few clicks.
The Traditional and Modern Ways to Unfollow People on Twitter
In September 2021, Twitter introduced the option to delete followers. Before, blocking a follower was the only way to get rid of them. By doing this, you effectively deleted that user from your list of followers, stopped them from following you again, and made your tweets inaccessible.

You can delete someone from your followers’ list using the new approach of unfollowing without blocking them. When you eliminate a user from your list of followers on Twitter, they are not informed, and they may decide to start following you again if they realize they are no longer doing so.

They may decide to start following you again if they realize they are no longer doing so. If you don’t want them to be able to follow you on Twitter, you may either block and/or deactivate your account.
Use the Twitter desktop website on a computer running Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook to remove a following from your profile.
Start by launching the Twitter website on your computer’s web browser. If you haven’t done so previously, log into your account.
Click “Profile” on Twitter’s left sidebar to access your profile (a person icon).
The profile page for you will appear. Click “Followers” below your profile information to view your followers’ list.
Find the person you wish to unfollow on the followers’ page. Click the three dots next to that user’s name.
“Remove this Follower” may be selected from the three-dot menu.
A popup to “Remove this Follower” will appear. Select “Remove” from the menu here.
You’re now ready to go. Your list of Twitter followers has been updated to delete the specified individual.
Use Twitter’s mobile website to unfollow someone if you’re using an iPhone, iPad, or Android phone.
