Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), is about to make some important changes to how the blocking feature works. According to the X Engineering team, these updates will roll out soon and will affect how users interact with accounts they’ve blocked.
What’s Changing? The main update is that if you block someone, you will still be able to see their public posts in your feed or search results. However, you won’t be able to view their profile or interact directly with their content.
Why the Change? The company explains that this update aims to increase transparency. Currently, blocking can hide harmful or private content shared by blocked users. With this new change, users can still view public posts even from accounts they’ve blocked, helping to reveal any inappropriate behavior.
Key Takeaways from the Update:
- Blocked users won’t be able to engage with your posts (no likes, replies, or reposts).
- You can still report harassing or offensive content from blocked accounts.
- The update is designed to improve user experience and give more insight into public interactions on the platform.
While the exact launch date hasn’t been confirmed, the update is expected to be released soon.
Stay tuned for more details on how this update will shape your experience on X!
