Sometimes, the Lists feature on Twitter can be a great way to enhance your user experience, allowing you to create various lists such as those for different businesses, friends, and family to track their tweets, or a list of news accounts you enjoy following for the latest news. Additionally, being on others' lists can help increase the visibility of your tweets when shared frequently.
However, there may be times when you find yourself on a list you'd prefer not to be on, such as being added by someone who mistakenly believes you share their opinion on an issue based on your tweets, or being targeted by someone who adds you to harass you. Therefore, it's crucial to regularly check your Twitter account to ensure you're not included in any lists you’d rather avoid.
Here’s how to remove your account from others' Twitter lists:
1. Open a web browser on your computer and log into your Twitter account.
2. On the homepage, click on the three dots on the left side.
3. In the menu that appears, click on the Lists option.
4. On the main Lists page, you'll see all the lists you've created or have been added to previously.
5. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner, then select Lists you’re on from the dropdown menu.
6. All the lists you are part of will appear at the top of the page.
If you find yourself on a list you'd prefer not to be part of, you can remove yourself by temporarily or permanently blocking the person who created the list. To do this, follow these steps:
- Use the previous steps to access the Lists page.
- Click on the list you no longer want to be in.
- Click on the name of the list creator, which will take you to that person’s profile page.
- On the list creator's page, click on the three dots to the right of their profile picture.
- From the menu that appears, click on the Block option and confirm.
Now, that account will be blocked, and your account will be removed from any Twitter lists created by that account.
Note: If you do not permanently block that account, it can always add you back to the lists it created or you may appear on another list created by someone else who follows you. Therefore, it is extremely important to periodically check your account to see which lists you are being added to on Twitter.
