Blocking and muting a person on twitter?

blocking and muting are 2 different things first of all. muting makes YOU stop seeing their tweets on your timeline while still following them. blocking cuts off all access for them to talk to you (and unfollows them)'

twitter sucks with privacy stuff though so even if you block someone you can still see their tweets and they can still see yours...they just can't tweet you :/

You can mute users. This will prevent their tweets from showing up in your timeline. If you want to prevent somebody from sending you messages or from following you, then blocking is the way to go.

Various Twitter apps will allow you to block and mute users, like Talon. Some, like Plume, will allow you to filter out tweets that contain certain words and phrases. That is particularly useful if you're tired of hearing about certain topics. However, for now, we'll use the official Twitter app to demonstrate how to mute and block users.

If you've already decided to mute or block a certain account, you can search for it where you see that magnifying glass in the upper right-hand corner. That'll take you to the profile.

If you're browsing your timeline and decide then that you'd like to mute or block somebody, you can tap on the profile picture next to the tweet. That will also take you to the applicable profile.
