Twitter has fully launched a new feature on its web version that lets users remove a follower without blocking them.
The option prevents a chosen user from seeing any of a person's future posts.
To remove a follower, users can go to their profile and click 'Followers,' then click the three-dot icon and select 'Remove this follower.'
There's no notification to the ex-follower, who can follow you again if they realize they've been removed.
The company began testing the option in September with select web users.
On Monday, the Twitter safety team tweeted it was ‘rolling out to everyone on the web today.’
It’s not clear when the feature will land on the mobile version of Twitter and if it’ll be available for both Android and iOS. DailyMail.com has reached out for comment.

The feature is just the latest in a series of moves the social media company has taken to increase user privacy.
Twitter is also experimenting with allowing users to untag themselves from a conversation.
In June, Twitter privacy designer Dominic Camozzi posted what he called 'early concepts' of what the process to 'unmention' yourself might look like.
'I want to make it easier to untag yourself from a tweet or conversation you don't want to be involved in,' Camozzi tweeted at the time.

'Just pick 'unmention yourself from this conversation' from the more info menu and the link to your profile will be removed.'
