The process is simple: you simply need to mute tweets that contain certain words, emojis, or mention a specific account. Alternatively, you can add muted words to the tweets of specific people. However, be aware that blocking someone is a form of aggression, and you need to ensure that you are not putting them off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Muting_tweets_that_contain_certain_words\"><\/span>Muting tweets that contain certain words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to avoid reading all of the tweets containing certain words on Twitter, you can use the mute feature. There are three different ways to mute words on Twitter, based on where they are posted, who is posting them, and how long they are posted. First, you must log in to Twitter. Next, tap your profile picture. In the top-left corner of the page, tap the Settings and privacy option. From there, select the Privacy and safety option.<\/p>\n<p>To mute a word on Twitter, go to its settings and select &#8220;mute&#8221; from the menu. Select a word or phrase. Alternatively, you can also mute the entire timeline or just certain tweets. You can also choose a specific duration for the muting, either 24 hours, 7 days, or forever. If you don&#8217;t want to see certain tweets, you can select &#8220;mute&#8221; from the settings menu.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to mute tweets is to select a word or phrase on your timeline or in your Notifications. You can mute words from anyone, including people you don&#8217;t follow. This can be done forever, for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days from now. Once you&#8217;ve chosen the words or phrases you want to avoid, you can then choose to delete them from your timeline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Muting_tweets_that_contain_certain_emojis\"><\/span>Muting tweets that contain certain emojis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been annoyed by tweets that contain specific emojis, you can mute them from showing up in your notifications. To do this, first sign in to your Twitter account. From there, navigate to the people you want to mute from your news feed. Then, click on the person&#8217;s tweet to open it in a new window. Once you&#8217;ve chosen the people you want to mute, you can unmute them.<\/p>\n<p>The same way you can mute tweets that use certain emojis on Twitter works on Facebook as well. Tap on the word or phrase that you want to mute. A menu will appear. You can choose whether you want to mute the tweet in your timeline or on your notifications. You can also select the duration of your mute. Alternatively, you can mute the entire account.<\/p>\n<p>You can also mute tweets that contain specific emojis on Twitter from the desktop version of the social media website. On the desktop version of Twitter, you simply need to select the &#8220;mute&#8221; option from the menu, or click the three vertical dots next to the person&#8217;s header picture. This will make them appear in your feed without the emoji. If you&#8217;re a desktop user, the process is the same as for mobile devices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Muting_tweets_that_mention_a_particular_account\"><\/span>Muting tweets that mention a particular account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever found that you&#8217;re receiving too many notifications from a media outlet or account, then you&#8217;ve likely wondered how to mute them. Thankfully, it&#8217;s easy to do and you can do so in Twitter&#8217;s settings. To mute a specific Twitter account, simply click the &#8220;@&#8221; sign. You can also choose to mute specific words or phrases within a tweet or the entire account.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to go to the account you&#8217;d like to mute. This will prevent you from seeing the tweets that contain that specific word or phrase. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you won&#8217;t see the tweets in the Explore tab or the Event-based notifications any more. If you&#8217;d like to unmute the account, you can press the &#8220;undo&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to see any Tweets that mention a particular account, you can mute it. The mute function is similar to blocking, but the only difference is that it won&#8217;t let the person know that you&#8217;ve mutated them. Once you&#8217;ve muted someone, they won&#8217;t be able to see any tweets from you, or from others that mention them. If you&#8217;d like to protect your relationship with someone, muting is the way to go. All you have to do is go to their account page and click on the &#8220;mute&#8221; button in the top right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rG_11Um-jBc\" height=\"258\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Block Words on Twitter Whether you want to protect yourself from online harassment or simply avoid reading certain tweets, knowing how to block words on Twitter can help you stay away from those who would spread negativity.
