How to Change Privacy Settings on Twitter

Every Twitter account contains media settings, which help Twitter identify the sort of material you’re publishing and help others locate the information they’re looking for.

Twitter can detect potentially sensitive content that other users may not want to see, such as violence or nudity, by correctly designating your media settings. Please modify your media settings if you plan to upload material frequently. In this article, I am going to tell you how you can change privacy settings on Twitter.

Twitter Privacy Settings that May Interest you:

In comparison to Facebook, Twitter is a more open-ended social media platform. While Twitter’s sensitive media policy prohibits “very graphic” media, “media portraying sexual violence,” and unlawful content, nearly everything else is permitted.

Twitter limits this media by default, with messages like “This media may contain sensitive material,” “This profile may include potentially sensitive content,” and “The following media includes potentially sensitive content.”

You’ll need to establish a Twitter account and sign in to modify this option if you don’t already have one.

Change Sensitive Content Setting on Twitter

Twitter’s privacy settings allow you to turn off the sensitive content alert. These choices are present in the same location in the Android app, but not in the Twitter app for iPhone and iPad.

1. To turn off the warning, go to the Twitter website and click the “More” button (three dots in a circle) on the left side of the screen.
2. Then, from the pop-up menu, choose “Settings & Privacy.“
3. Select “Content You See” from the left option under “Privacy and Safety.”
4. To deactivate the warning for tweets, tick the option next to “Display Media That May Contain Sensitive Content” towards the top of the screen.
