Ok. So like we said at the beginning, blocking someone is easy, but unblocking a user on twitter takes more clicks and some patience, why? Because you need to search the user you want to unblock, there is no Blocked users list ( why not?! ). So here’s how to do it:

1: If you’re not logged in yet, just browse to twitter and log in to your account.

2: Now type the name of the user you want to unblock in the search bar and click Enter. You should see a list of results now.

3: click ” People ” or ” Accounts ” so you will only see people in the results.

4: Search the results to find the blocked person.

5: Click the blocked person and you will see his profile in the right side of the twitter window. Please note that now there is a ” Blocked ” button instead of the usual ” Follow ” Button.

6: Click the ” Undo ” link you see next to the ” blocked ” button to unblock this user. Now this user is unblocked and can follow you again and see your tweets.
