However, if you accidentally block someone or you feel compassionate enough to give someone a second chance, unblocking someone again will be a little more difficult.

Here’s how to block or unblock someone on Twitch…

How to block someone on Twitch

Twitch has become a huge player in the video gaming world and has attracted a lot of different people as a result. Hopefully the majority of people you meet will be friendly, but there will always be the odd troll here and there.

If someone is being annoying on Twitch, blocking them is easy: just click on their Twitch name. If you’re using a mobile device, you’ll see a Block pop-up option in the user pop-up menu.

If you are using a PC, you need to click on the three dots at the bottom right of the profile card that pops up. Then click Block [name].

Twitch will quickly remind you what the blocked person can and cannot do. In short, once you block someone, they can’t whisper to you, host you, add you as a friend, or gift a Twitch subscription to your channel.

If you agree to this, click Block.

Twitch won’t delete the person’s messages beforehand, so if they say something particularly nasty, refresh the page to clear the conversation and get rid of their comment.

Alternatively, you can type /block [username] into the chat to remove them.

How to Unblock People on Twitch: The Easiest Way

However, when you want to unblock someone, things get a little more complicated. You can unblock someone by clicking their tag and selecting Unblock. But this only works for a very recent block.

The problem is, if you blocked that person a long time ago, you won’t see their messages anymore. If you can’t see their messages, you can’t click on their name to unblock them!

If you know the exact name of the user, you can type /unblock [username] to bring them back. However, if you can’t remember their name, you’ll need to do some more work.

How to unblock people on Twitch using settings

To unblock someone on Twitch on your PC, do the following:

1. Click your profile in the top right, then click Settings.
2. Click the Security and privacy tab at the top. Next, scroll down to the Privacy section, then find the Blocked users section.
3. Click Show blocked users. Twitch will then load a list of people you’ve blocked and the date you blocked them.
4. Click the Unblock button next to the user you want to unblock.

Twitch will save the changes immediately and remove the user from your block list.

How to unblock people on the Twitch app

If you’re using an Android phone, you’ll quickly discover that unblocking someone through the official Android app can be a pain. This is because, strangely enough, the Android app lacks a feature that the iOS version has.

Here are the best ways to unblock people on Twitch on iOS and Android…

How to Unblock People on iOS

If you use iOS, you’re in luck. Here’s how you can unblock someone:

1. Just start the app and tap your profile picture at the top left.
2. Then tap Settings, then Security & privacy.
3. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see your blocked users. You can then remove the user from the blocked list by tapping Unblock to the right of the user’s name if you want to be able to receive messages from them again. 3 images Close

How to Unblock People on Android

If you’re using Android, you’ll find that you can follow each of the instructions above until the list of blocked users appears. The strange thing is that the list of blocked users never appeared on iOS.

Therefore, the quick and easy way to unblock someone on Android is to use Twitch’s desktop website on your device. Just go to Twitch and get the desktop version of the website (here’s a guide on how you can watch the desktop version of any website). Then, follow the steps above to unblock Twitch users through Settings.

If you don’t want to use this method, we recommend logging into your Twitch account on PC to manage your list of blocked users.

Manage people better on Twitch

If someone annoys you, you can block them on Twitch quickly and easily. If you later decide to unblock them, it’s easy and quick to do—as long as you’re not using Android.
