Blocking people in the thread via mobile
Learning how to block someone on Threads from your cell phone is quite simple. The user will need to open application from the social network, search for the user you want to block using the magnifying glass icon function and then access the person's profile. Once on the profile you want to block, look for the three dots in the top corner of the screen and click on them.
A good number of options will appear and among them will be "block". Once you've accessed this section, you'll need to confirm that this is what you want to do and, once you've confirmed that this is indeed what you want to do, the person will be blocked from seeing your posts and even accessing your profile. This is how you block a contact, whether on Android or iOS.
How to block someone in Threads on PC
How to block someone on Threads on the PC is not very different from cell phone. Here, you'll need to log in to your account on your computer and then look for the contact you want to limit access to your posts for good. Once their profile is open, look for the same three dots at the top right-hand side of the screen, click on the block option and confirm the block.
No notification regarding the block will be sent to the person in question, whether the procedure is carried out on the PC or on the cell phone, but some things may give the person away that you have blocked them. Your posts will stop appearing to them, they won't be able to tag you or mention you in posts and they won't see your profile if they try to search for you. Be aware of these things before you decide to block.
Managing the Block List
As well as learning how to block someone on Threads, it's just as important to learn how to unblock them too. If one day you end up regretting it or making up with someone you've had a fight with and want to restore their access to your Threads profile, you'll need to follow a few steps to unblock them and we'll show you how to do it below.
To unblock, go to the settings menu and look for the "privacy" option. Accessing this part will open a window with the path to view the list of blocked contacts, search for the user you want to unblock. Next to the person's profile there will be a button that will allow you to unblock their account.
When it comes to blocking a contact, it's important to be very sure that this is what you want, as this can also lead to a block on Instagram if your c
onta in Threads is synchronized with other Meta networks. If this happens, you'll have to follow the parameters of each network to unblock it, because unblocking on Threads doesn't guarantee unblocking on Instagram or Facebook. Stay tuned!
