Hey everyone!

Sorry for the delay! I'd like each of you to know that this issue is being looked into. If each of you could send me a private message including which gamertags you wish to no longer follow you, along with any other relevant information, that will help us
a lot!

Same problem here,but i found out the only way is when u remove a new person that u want to block, dont do it on the xbox do it on xbox.com and remove them first and then block them.

yes i am getting notifications telling me people i have blocked are online, i'm also having problems with the spam gamertags who send those "omg free iphone" messages adding, me i've had enough of this pathetic excuse for a friend system! if you ask me i
believe that the first 500 people to add you should be forced to send FRIEND REQUEST and, after that you either have no more friends or you can choose to have followers, this would allow you to have "unlimited friends"
IF YOU WANT, and if you don't, then you could just have it like the 360 had it.

how hard is that?

Hey drpepper327!

Sorry to hear about the follower issue. Since this thread is older, please shoot me a private message with the gamertags you're unable to remove along with a rough estimate of when you last tried blocking them. To private message me, click the little envelope

As far as I understand, you can't remove followers.

If you have blocked these followers, they can't access your profile or other information and can't contact you.

But they are still listed as followers.

JUST DO IT415

I think the block/mute is all you can do at this point.

Hi there FOA Anguish

Normally blocking and muting them stops them from seeing if you are online and messaging yourself and seeing your feed items. Even if they are following you they shouldn't be able to contact you as you can see here as well. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/social/manage-friends-followers-favorites It
shouldn't matter if they are on your follower list. The only way they are removed from that list if they remove you but by blocking them they cannot message you or see your feed.

Have you tried getting in contact with support

He has already removed me from his friend's list, but he is still on my followers list even though he isn't following me anymore. I looked on his friend's list and I'm not on it.
