They manage what the platform can show you and how it can customize your experience. Although Twitter is a social media network, it does allow you to turn several features on or off. You\u2019ll find these settings for Twitter under <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can change these options even if you don\u2019t log in to your account. Also, your adjustments will only be for the browser you use. On the other hand, the changes you make after logging in will carry over to any device and browser.

What if you don\u2019t want your posts to be public and only visible to people you know? Where can you change these Twitter settings on iPhone or other devices?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow this step-by-step guide to find the privacy settings for Twitter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Official App (Android and iOS devices)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You\u2019ll see your profile photo on the left when you open the app. Tap it to open the sidebar settings menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Settings &amp; Support<\/strong>, which shows a dropdown menu.

Here you\u2019ll find the option <strong>More<\/strong> at the bottom. Click it to open a new menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>Settings and Support,<\/strong> and from the dropdown menu, select <strong>Settings and Privacy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Below the <strong>Settings<\/strong> tab, click on <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t logged into your account, go to the homepage. Select <strong>Settings<\/strong> from the left sidebar. It takes you to the <strong>Settings<\/strong> page, where you can change various features. Twitter only allows you to adjust a handful of personalization and data settings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dan-nelson-ah-HeguOe9k-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"A Samsung smartphone connected to Surfshark VPN, placed next to Airpods, a pencil and a pair of reading glasses.\" class=\"wp-image-910\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Settings_for_Twitter_Affecting_Online_Privacy\"><\/span>9 Settings for Twitter Affecting Online Privacy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under <strong>Privacy and Safety<\/strong> settings for Twitter, there are several features you can use. In this section, let\u2019s understand how these settings affect your Twitter activity. They also influence how other users can interact with your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Audience_and_Tagging_Settings_for_Twitter\"><\/span>Audience and Tagging Settings for Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With this setting for Twitter, you control who can see and engage with your tweets. How can you do this? First, you enable <strong>Protect Your Tweets<\/strong>, which ensures only your followers can view your posts. Although Twitter is a place to share your opinions, people may misinterpret your message. This happens when there isn\u2019t sufficient context to the posts. By protecting your tweets, only people you know can see them. If a non-follower has to view your posts, they must send a request.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use other social media networks, you know about this issue &#8211; people tend to tag you in their photos. Sometimes, it\u2019s relevant, as you\u2019re in the picture or were with these people. In most cases, they are irrelevant. You\u2019re not even in the image; it feels like the person is only trying to increase their post\u2019s reach. With Twitter\u2019s <strong>Photo Tagging<\/strong>, you decide who can tag you in their images. You can allow only accounts you follow or anyone on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Tweets_Settings\"><\/span>Your Tweets Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Twitter allows you to attach photos and videos to your tweets, they should meet the platform\u2019s requirements. For instance, the social media network wants you to mark the media containing <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/rules-and-policies\/media-policy\">nudity or violence as sensitive<\/a>. Why? The platform wants to ensure only users interested in the content view it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do it whenever you post tweets with media, but it is time-consuming. Instead, you can mark every post with adult content as sensitive. What if your tweets don\u2019t have a sensitive label even though it qualifies for one under Twitter\u2019s content guidelines? The platform may mark it as such or remove your post. If you continue to post sensitive content, the social media network will <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/rules-and-policies\/media-settings\">label all media you upload as sensitive<\/a>. In other words, the platform permanently enables this setting for Twitter. This means the sensitive content box will appear for all tweets.<\/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=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jon-tyson-5KKglNl852A-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"The hash symbol in gold and white LEDs.\" class=\"wp-image-907\" style=\"width:320px;height:427px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Content_You_See_Settings_for_Twitter\"><\/span>Content You See Settings for Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the title suggests, this setting for Twitter focuses on what kind of tweets appear in your feed. You can deactivate the sensitive content warning message if you don\u2019t want to see it every time. You will find a checkbox beside <strong>Display Media That May Contain <\/strong><strong>Sensitive Content<\/strong>. Select it if you are okay with adult content. By default, Twitter doesn\u2019t enable this setting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, you can see the various topics Twitter uses to personalize your feed. You must select at least three topics when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweeteraser.com\/resources\/how-to-set-up-a-twitter-account-in-less-than-7-minutes\/\" title=\"\">setting up your account for the first time<\/a>. Every subject you follow is available in this setting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you continue to use Twitter, the platform will gauge your interests. This depends on two factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your activity on the social media network, i.e., who you follow, tweets you comment, like and retweet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Topics you follow on the platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can change your interests if the suggestions in your Twitter feed need to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>Explore Settings<\/strong>, you can choose if you want to see tweets from or close to your location. Otherwise, you can select a different country. For <strong>Search Settings<\/strong>, you can customize your search results on Twitter. It can make sure sensitive posts don\u2019t appear in searches. Also, if you don\u2019t want to see results from accounts you block and mute, there\u2019s a setting for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mute_Block_and_Direct_Messages_Settings\"><\/span>Mute, Block and Direct Messages Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All the accounts you block and mute will appear in the <strong>Blocked<\/strong> or <strong>Muted<\/strong> settings for Twitter. What if you don\u2019t want to see specific posts because of what they contain? You can use <strong>Muted Words<\/strong>, which hides tweets with particular words. Also, there\u2019s granular control over notifications from the following types of accounts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The user\u2019s profile is new.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The person doesn\u2019t have a profile photo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The user didn\u2019t verify their email address or phone number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The person doesn\u2019t follow your account, or you don\u2019t follow them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Direct Messages<\/strong> setting is to regulate who can send you private messages. Twitter filters out low-quality messages by default. In other words, anything the platform considers spam goes to a separate folder. People can know if you read their direct message with <strong>Read Receipts<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you can allow accounts that you don\u2019t follow to send message requests or add you to their group conversations. Twitter keeps this setting off to reduce spam and unnecessary direct messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spaces_Discoverability_and_Contacts_Settings_for_Twitter\"><\/span>Spaces, Discoverability and Contacts Settings for Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Spaces settings for Twitter, you choose who can look at your activity in Twitter Spaces. Do you want only your followers to have access to this information?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the <strong>Discoverability and Contacts<\/strong> tab, the focus is on your profile\u2019s visibility. Do you want to be visible to users with your email address or phone number? If yes, you can enable this setting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, there\u2019s the <strong>Contacts<\/strong> section containing the list of all contacts the platform got from your smartphone. The social media network uses this information to suggest who you should follow. Here, you can remove any person\u2019s contact information. Also, you can stop syncing your contact list if you use multiple devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/tweeteraser.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ux-indonesia-8mikJ83LmSQ-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"A person wearing a blue shirt explaining a chart to another person wearing a black shirt with white verticle stripes.\" class=\"wp-image-908\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary_of_Data_Sharing_and_Personalization_Settings_for_Twitter\"><\/span>Summary of Data Sharing and Personalization Settings for Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/personalization-data-settings\">Data sharing and personalization<\/a> settings for Twitter manage what the platform can do with your information.

Advertisers can share what they know about you to tailor it to your preferences and online behavior. If you enable <strong>Personalize Ads<\/strong> settings for Twitter, the platform can customize the advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see your <strong>Interests<\/strong> under the <strong>Content You See <\/strong>section.
