This means anyone can view and find your posts on any search engine. Users can share it with their followers via retweets and retweets with comments. Also, your posts appear if people search for your tweets on Twitter. Fortunately, there is a simple solution to make your profile private. This ensures people have to be a follower to see your tweets. Go to <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong>, then <strong>Audience and Tagging<\/strong> as part of how to change privacy settings on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, there\u2019s a setting known as <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/safety-and-security\/public-and-protected-tweets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Protect Your Tweets<\/strong><\/a>. Enable this feature to make your Twitter account private. In other words, people have to send you a request to see your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you should review your <strong>Photo Tagging<\/strong> settings. Here, you control who can tag you when they post photos and videos on the platform. You can change it to people you follow or anyone on the website. The website also allows you to deactivate <strong>Photo Tagging<\/strong> for better privacy.&nbsp;Go back to the previous quick menu, i.e., <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong>. Open <strong>Your Tweets<\/strong> and navigate to <strong>Add Location Information<\/strong> settings. If you enable this feature, it means everyone can see where you are right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deactivate location settings so that there\u2019s no GPS data in your tweets. Using this feature removes location information from your posts. However, it will take some time before these changes go live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you can enable marking any media you share as sensitive content. This way, when your posts have media, they won\u2019t appear in search results. The user has to deactivate the <strong>Hide Sensitive Content<\/strong> setting for your posts to become visible via search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Change_Privacy_Settings_on_Twitter_for_Online_Visibility\"><\/span><strong>How To Change Privacy Settings on Twitter for Online Visibility?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next part of how to change privacy settings on Twitter tackles online visibility. Or who can see your profile on the platform? The default setting ensures anyone can find you on the social media network. All they need is your username. But you have control over who can follow you. Yes, protecting your tweets is one part, but there\u2019s more you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, from <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong>, open <strong>Mute and Block<\/strong> and go to <strong>Blocked Accounts<\/strong>. Whenever you encounter a profile you don\u2019t want to interact with \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/using-twitter\/blocking-and-unblocking-accounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you can block them<\/a>. These users will appear under <strong>Blocked<\/strong> <strong>Accounts<\/strong>. These profiles won\u2019t be able to follow or message you. They won\u2019t see your tweets or add you to their lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/using-twitter\/twitter-mute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Muted Accounts<\/strong><\/a> are similar as tweets from these profiles won\u2019t appear in your timeline. You can think of this privacy setting as a silent block. People won\u2019t know if you mute them, as they can still see and interact with your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s the option to mute specific phrases and words. You won\u2019t get a notification when the platform detects tweets with these terms. This feature works even when users mention your account or reply to your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The social media network adjusts its algorithm to ensure these posts don\u2019t appear in your timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pexels-mikhail-nilov-6963096.jpg\" alt=\"A person wearing a black hoodie is sitting on a chair and looking at his smartphone. \" class=\"wp-image-1056\" style=\"width:320px;height:480px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Change_Privacy_Settings_on_Twitter_Account_Discovery\"><\/span><strong>How To Change Privacy Settings on Twitter: Account Discovery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can control your account discovery to limit visibility. This is a great privacy setting if you don\u2019t want everyone to know about your Twitter account. For example, you use the profile to provide customer support to your customers. Or, you share your thoughts on a specific industry to attract leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong> as your starting point, go to <strong>Discoverability and Contacts<\/strong>. Here\u2019s where you should implement the instructions for how to change privacy settings on Twitter. Are you okay with people knowing about your account as they have your email address or phone number? You can deactivate these features under the privacy tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up your Twitter profile through the official mobile app allows you to import your contact list. The platform uses this information to suggest accounts to follow. To protect your privacy, head to <strong>Manage Contacts<\/strong> under the <strong>Contacts<\/strong> heading. Select <strong>Remove All Contacts, <\/strong>and you should be good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do keep in mind that you can\u2019t reverse this decision. If you want to use your contact list to see who\u2019s on Twitter, you must share it with Twitter again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Change_Privacy_Settings_on_Twitter_Personalization\"><\/span><strong>How To Change Privacy Settings on Twitter Personalization?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter collects your data and shares it with its business partners. Based on the information these organizations receive, they personalize your content accordingly. Fortunately, you have some say in how they can use your data. Follow this step-by-step guide on how to change privacy settings on Twitter for data sharing and personalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personalization_of_Advertisements\"><\/span><strong>Personalization of Advertisements<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The ads you see on the platform aren\u2019t random. Twitter and its advertisers use vast amounts of data to learn more about you. They\u2019ll know about your likes and dislikes depending on your online activity and behavior. With this information, the advertisers can improve their advertisements and only show products and services you find interesting. In this section on how to change privacy settings on Twitter, let\u2019s learn how to turn off ad personalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to <strong>Ads Preferences<\/strong> from <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong> settings menu. Here, you can deactivate <strong>Personalized Ads<\/strong>. Twitter won\u2019t be able to tailor the ads to your preferences from the information available outside the platform. What does this mean? Twitter cannot use the information it gets from its advertising and business partners. However, it can still observe your <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/safety-and-security\/privacy-controls-for-tailored-ads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">activity on the platform<\/a> to draw conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, it knows what you tweet, the links you open, the users you follow and the accounts who follow your profile. It can use this information to improve the accuracy of their advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/patrick-perkins-Cusn7DD0qAE-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"A bunch of coupons and advertisements on paper.\" class=\"wp-image-1057\" style=\"width:320px;height:320px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inferred_Identity_and_Data_Sharing_With_Business_Partners\"><\/span><strong>Inferred Identity and Data Sharing With Business Partners<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter doesn\u2019t only use data from your activity on its website. They can learn more about you from other devices, even if you don\u2019t use them to visit the platform. This is how the social network <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/about-personalization-across-your-devices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interprets your online identity<\/a>. For example, sharing your email address with the platform will try to find associations with your ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is the freedom to manage your inferred identity settings using the guide for how to change privacy settings on Twitter. You must visit <strong>Inferred Identity<\/strong> in <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong> under the <strong>Data Sharing and Personalization<\/strong> section. In this settings menu, you can turn off using your inferred identity to personalize your Twitter experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re using the official app on your smartphone. At the same time, you\u2019re going through an article on your laptop about the Marvel Comics Universe. The post has an embedded tweet from the director about a crucial plot point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both devices, i.e., your smartphone and the laptop, are on the same Wifi network. Twitter can infer you use these devices. If a business sells Marvel Comics merchandise, you will start seeing ads from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/safety-and-security\/data-through-partnerships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter and its business and advertising partners<\/a> work together to serve the right ads to you. It\u2019s possible to reduce this information sharing. You can open <strong>Data Sharing With Business Partners<\/strong> within <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong>. Deactivate additional information sharing, which may result in random advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Change_Privacy_Settings_on_Twitter_Location_Information\"><\/span><strong>How To Change Privacy Settings on Twitter: Location Information<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last option under<strong> Data Sharing and Personalization<\/strong> is <strong>Location Information<\/strong>. When you use Twitter from different places, the platform notes this. It will collect all this data to show you relevant ads and tweets. You can turn this setting off and delete any data it collects with you over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you go through with how to change privacy settings on Twitter if your tweets have location information? Yes, as you can still control your privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/tamas-tuzes-katai-rEn-AdBr3Ig-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"A person holding their iPhone and using Google Maps while standing in the middle of the road. \" class=\"wp-image-1058\" style=\"width:320px;height:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how to change privacy settings on Twitter on iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the official app, go to your home timeline. This is where you see all the tweets from other users. You need to tap the icon with your profile photo on this page. It\u2019s in the top left corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the bottom of the menu, there\u2019s <strong>Settings &amp; Support<\/strong>. Tapping it will show you a new menu. Select <strong>Settings and Privacy, <\/strong>and you can follow the above guide for desktop browsers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Make the same changes as highlighted throughout this article on your iPhone. You only need to do this on your smartphone as the changes carry over to new devices. For example, if you log in to Twitter from a desktop browser, it has the same settings as your iPhone. Only make changes from a single device. Otherwise, you may face issues where the changes don\u2019t apply universally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your iPhone also has privacy settings within the smartphone itself. On iOS devices, you can limit advertisement tracking to reduce personalization. Similarly, there\u2019s a feature to stop apps from tracking you. If you don\u2019t give Twitter permission, it won\u2019t be able to collect significant amounts of data from you. The location of these settings depends on the iOS version.
