We recommend you block that account from following you. They won't be able to follow you and you will see a blocked icon when you visit their profile. To unblock an account you've blocked, visit their profile and click or tap the block icon. Your Tweets won't appear in their timeline, and if they visit your profile, they will not be able to see any of your Tweets. Twitter Cards help you richly represent your content on Twitter.

Following someone on Twitter means:

• You are subscribing to their Tweets as a follower
• Their updates will appear in your Home timeline
• That person is able to send you Direct Messages

Followers are people who receive your Tweets. If someone follows you:

• They'll show up in your followers list
• They'll see your Tweets in their Home timeline whenever they log in to Twitter
• You can start a private conversation with them

Click Following on your profile or home page to see who you've followed, displayed in a following list. You can unfollow accounts from that page if you don't want to follow them anymore.

The followers link on your profile page or home page will show you how many followers you have and who they are. By default, Twitter sends you an email to let you know when someone new follows you. Set up your email preferences to notify you when you have a new follower or to turn these notifications off.

Yes. When accounts are locked, we remove them from follower counts across profiles globally. As a result, if an account that follows you is locked, the number of followers displayed on your profile may go down.

There is no way to send a request for other people to follow you on Twitter.

Avoid third-party applications that promise to get you a lot of followers, these apps usually violate our Terms of Service and may lead to account suspension.

The best way to gain friends and fans on Twitter is to engage with people, follow others whose Tweets are interesting or meaningful to you, and be an active part of the Twitter community by reading and posting high-quality information.

Yes. You can protect your Tweets.

Protecting your Tweets means anyone who wants to follow you must submit a request for your approval. Only followers you approve can see your protected Tweets and your Tweets will not appear in search engine results.

If you have protected your Tweets, you can approve followers from your account profile page.

Yes. You can unfollow other accounts at any time. Twitter does not send a notification when you unfollow someone.

If you have requested to follow someone whose Tweets are protected, then change your mind, you can cancel to undo your follow request. (The Cancel button appears on their profile in the same place as the Follow button.)

We recommend you block that account from following you. They won't be able to follow you and you will see a blocked icon when you visit their profile. To unblock an account you've blocked, visit their profile and click or tap the block icon.

Your Tweets won't appear in their timeline, and if they visit your profile, they will not be able to see any of your Tweets.

No. Following on Twitter isn't mutual. Someone who thinks you're interesting can follow you, and you don't have to approve it or follow them back.

If you want to approve who follows your Tweets, protect your Tweets. The same rules apply—you can approve followers, but you don't have to follow them back.

Twitter has follow and update limits for site stability and to control abuse.

Search for specific Tweets, accounts, or ongoing conversations

There are many ways to use search on Twitter. You can find Tweets from yourself, friends, local businesses, and everyone from well-known entertainers to global political leaders. By searching for topic keywords or hashtags, you can follow ongoing conversations about breaking news or personal interests.

We give you control over what you see in your search results through safe search mode. These filters exclude potentially sensitive content, along with accounts you have muted or blocked, from your search results. You have the option to turn it off, or back on, at any time (instructions outlined below).

When you’re signed in to your account on the web, using search is slightly different than using it via the Twitter for iOS or Android apps. You can find instructions for both below.

1. Tap the Explore tab
2. At the top of the page, enter your search into the search box and tap Search.
3. Your results will show a combination of Tweets, photos, accounts, and more.
4. Filter your results by tapping Top, Latest, People, Photos, Videos, News, or Broadcasts (located at the top of your search results).
5. Tap the filter icon in the search bar to refine your results according to All people or People you follow, and Everywhere or Near you.
   

Note: Safe search settings allow you to filter your search results to exclude potentially sensitive content and/or accounts you have muted or blocked from your results. You can adjust this setting by logging in to your account on twitter.com and using the Search from the web instructions. Your settings will apply to searches on the web, in your iOS app, and in Twitter for Android.
