Removing a follower or blocking someone

• Remove follower: open their profile, tap ⋯ → Remove follower. They stop following you, and can follow again if your settings allow.
• Block: tap ⋯ → Block. Follows end both ways, and you’re hidden from each other everywhere except a club you’re both in.
• Report: tap ⋯ → Report. We’ll take a look.

If your profile is set to Anyone, anyone with your link can still see your shelf when signed out. To keep it closed, choose People I follow or Just me. Unblock from Settings → Sharing & privacy → Blocked people.
