How to remove followers on Threads app

Looking for how to remove someone from your followers list on the Threads app? We can guide you through it step by step.

Removing a follower from Threads is a straightforward process that allows you to control who has access to your content and conversations.

Whether you’re looking to maintain a more exclusive circle or simply need to disengage from someone, we’ve got you covered.

There might be various factors that lead up to the decision of removing a follower from your account such as:

• If you don’t want your content to be visible in someone’s feed, you may choose to remove them instead of blocking them.
• A follower who’s constantly posting absurd comments on your posts.
• Sometimes, fewer interactions or conversations become one of the reasons for removing others from the Threads account.

Removing a follower doesn’t restrict them from viewing your profile and posts if you have a public account. If you wish to stop one from viewing your content, you’ll have to block them on the app.

Alternatively, you can also make your account private so only the people whom you accept can see your posts.

Here’s the process to remove a follower:

• Head to the account: First, find the account you want to remove. You can either find it from your followers list or through the search function.
• Via the Followers list: Head to your profile and then tap on the ‘XX.. followers’ which should be present beneath your bio section. The followers list will appear. From here, either scroll through the list or use the search option to find the account.





• Via Search: You can use the search bar located at the bottom left of the screen, just to the left of the home icon. Tap on it and enter the username of the account you wish to remove from your followers list.



• Three dots icon: Once you have reached the profile that you wish to remove then tap on the three dots icon on the top-right corner of your screen.



• Pop-up appears: You’ll see a pop-up screen with the option available ‘Remove follower’ just above ‘Block’ option.



• Tap Remove follower: From the pop-up menu, tap ‘Remove follower’ which will lead you to another pop-up screen for confirming the action.



• Tap on ‘Remove’ : Eventually, tap on red highlighted ‘Remove’ button to confirm your decision.

The person or account you choose to remove from your followers list won’t be alerted to the action. But they can once again follow you back if you have a public profile or request to follow you if you have a private profile.

We hope that the above guide has provided you with the information you need to remove followers on your Threads app by Meta.
