Whether you post public YouTube videos for fun or profit, interactions with everyday netizens — especially trolls — are an inevitable part of the process. Unfortunately, some commenters seem to have nothing better to do with their time than post offensive and derogatory comments, so consider blocking their channel rather than continuing to feed the trolls.
By blocking someone’s channel, you effectively remove their ability to comment on videos that you have posted publicly, which will limit their ability to be a jerk. Truly dedicated malefactors can always create another account, but at least you won’t have to hear any smack talk for a while. Read on to learn how to block channels on YouTube on your PC and mobile devices with a few simple steps.
In order to block a YouTube channel, you will need to be logged in to your YouTube account. You’ll need the username of the account you want to block. You can get that by clicking on the name of the offending user, entering keywords into YouTube’s search bar and filters.
Step 1: Search YouTube for the username of the account you want to block.
Step 2: Select the channel’s icon, then click About in the channel toolbar.
Step 3: Click the Report User resembling a grey flag and select Block User from the list that appears.
Step 4: Select Submit on the confirmation box to block the user’s channel from commenting on your public videos.
Step 1: Open the YouTube app on your smartphone or mobile device, tap the search icon, and enter the name of the channel you want to block.
Step 2: Tap the account to view their main page, then select the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of your screen.
Step 3: Tap Block User and then Block to confirm your decision.
You’re all set! That particular troll will be unable to talk smack about your videos (at least until they make their next burner account).

Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
