How to change your privacy and safety settings on X (Twitter) Follow
If you’re a user of the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), it’s a good idea to keep control over who sees your posts and interacts with you.
Here’s how to review your Privacy and Safety settings:
- Open the X website or X app
- Select your profile icon, then go to Settings and Privacy
At this point you can:
- Protect your posts (so only approved followers see them)
- Limit who can message or tag you
- Control the visibility of your likes and followers
- Mute or block specific users and keywords
- Disable location sharing
For the most safety with your online presence, be sure to check these settings regularly. If you’re using X for professional purposes or if you have a public presence, be careful with what you post online and what settings you have visible to others.
