Tap the icon located at the top of a post from the account you wish to block.
Tap Block, and then select Block to confirm.
Block is a feature that helps you control how you interact with other accounts on X. This feature helps people in restricting specific accounts from following, Direct Messaging, and engaging with them.
Important things to know about using block:
Accounts you have blocked cannot follow you, and you cannot follow an account you have blocked.
Blocking an account you are currently following will cause you to unfollow that account (and them to unfollow you). If you decide to unblock that account, you will have to follow that account again.
If your posts are set to protected, blocked accounts will not be able to see your posts since they are shown to only your followers.
Blocked accounts do not receive a notification alerting them that their account has been blocked. However, if a blocked account visits the profile of an account that has blocked them, they will see they have been blocked (unlike mute, which is invisible to muted accounts).
You will not receive notifications from accounts you block, or accounts that you do not follow who mention you in conversations started by accounts that you block. You will, however, see notifications from accounts you follow when they mention you in a conversation started by an account you block. If you’d like to view all of your mentions, you can do so by searching your username.
Blocked accounts cannot:
Engage with your posts, such as like, reply, repost, etc
Follow you
Send Direct Messages to you
Add your X account to their lists
Tag you in a photo
Posts from blocked accounts will not appear in your timeline. However, you may see posts or notifications in your timeline for the following:

When you visit the profile of an account you have blocked, the Follow button will be replaced by a Blocked button.
The posts of an account you have blocked are hidden when you visit their profile. However, you can see the posts from that account by clicking the Yes, view profile button.
You can still report an account that has blocked you. However, you will not be able to report the account's posts if they have protected them and you do not follow the account.
Sometimes you may find that blocking other accounts isn’t the right solution—it either goes too far or doesn’t go far enough toward changing your X experience. Learn more about other actions you can take to improve your X experience.
