One of them is by setting a specific hashtag, or word. Once you set a word as muted, you will no longer see tweets that contain it. If you want to block a particular user or group, you can do the same. The process is similar to blocking certain tweets and hashtags on Facebook, but you can do it in a slightly different way.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_direct_messages_for_accounts_that_you_dont_follow\"><\/span>Disable direct messages for accounts that you don&#8217;t follow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter has made it possible to mute words and phrases from your notifications, and you can select which timelines you want to muted. You can also block specific accounts. If someone has an account that you don&#8217;t follow, you&#8217;ll have no way of communicating with them. It can be frustrating to be bombarded by unwanted tweets, so Twitter has a simple solution to make the experience more pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>The mute feature works well for those with trigger words or hate speech. Depending on what they say, muting the words will prevent you from seeing their posts. This feature doesn&#8217;t work well for business settings, since you&#8217;d have to accumulate a substantial list of accounts to mute them. If you have a large number of followers, it will take a long time to mute them all.<\/p>\n<p>You can mute words on Twitter by logging into your account. Then go to the account you want to mute, and then tap &#8220;Unmute.&#8221; You&#8217;ll be given the option to mute words and phrases for a specified period of time. This option is also available on Android. You can find this option in the Twitter app settings. When muting words, you can select which tweets you don&#8217;t want to receive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mute_specific_words_or_phrases_in_tweets\"><\/span>Mute specific words or phrases in tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to prevent someone from seeing your tweets is to mute specific words or phrases. This can be done by typing @ in front of the word or phrase to be muted. When using the mute feature, you can also choose the period of time the word or phrase should remain muted for. To mute specific words or phrases in tweets, follow the instructions below. Once you have muted a word or phrase, you can use the same process to unmute it.<\/p>\n<p>Using this feature is simple, but not as straightforward as you might think. First, you need to be logged in to Twitter and open the app. Then, navigate to the profile icon in the upper section of the application. Then, tap on settings, and then select privacy and safety. Next, tap on &#8220;mute and block&#8221; from the list of options. Type the word or phrase you wish to block, and then select how long you want it to stay muted for.<\/p>\n<p>On Android, you can mute specific words and phrases in tweets by navigating to the settings of the Twitter app. Similarly, you can mute specific words or phrases in your contacts&#8217; tweets by using the settings menu in the Twitter website. The Twitter website has similar functionality. Users can also customize the length of the mute period, and delete muted words. This way, you can ensure that only certain words or phrases are being tweeted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Block_specific_users\"><\/span>Block specific users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to mute specific users on Twitter, you&#8217;ll need to visit their profile page. From there, click on the &#8220;more&#8221; icon and select &#8220;mute&#8221;. A confirmation banner will appear to let you know your decision was made. Click Undo if you want to change your mind. This will allow you to unmute a specific user and return to their feed. Then, follow the steps below to mute specific users on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>First, mutes are the least &#8216;brutal&#8217; action you can take. While you&#8217;ll stop receiving notifications from the account, you&#8217;ll still have to read their Tweets in order to understand their content. The only downside to muting a specific account is that it prevents you from replying to messages from that account. Also, muted users are not removed from your list &#8211; you can still unfollow them.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve decided to mute a specific user, their Tweets and Retweets won&#8217;t show up on your timeline. The only thing they won&#8217;t see is your replies, DMs, and other interactions with you. However, they won&#8217;t be notified that you&#8217;ve muted them. You can also unmute a specific user&#8217;s account at any time.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2jvOHTye8BQ\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"277\" width=\"496\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Mute Words on Twitter?
