If you use Twitter as a means of social media, you probably want to protect your account from prying eyes. To do this, you can use tools such as Circleboom and a Twitter list. Regardless of which tool you choose, following the steps in this article will help you hide who you follow on Twitter. Once you&#8217;ve honed your skills, you can begin to use Circleboom or a Twitter list to protect your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Circleboom\"><\/span>Circleboom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Circleboom is a Twitter app that displays all your followers in one place, including those that don&#8217;t follow you back. The search tool will help you find specific profiles you don&#8217;t want to see, such as spammers and fake accounts. If you&#8217;d like to unfollow these people, you can do so with just one click. Circleboom also has a built-in protection mechanism: you can add the accounts you don&#8217;t want to be listed in your suggestion lists by selecting them from a whitelist.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, you can hide who you follow on Twitter. This option is particularly helpful if you&#8217;re trying to avoid people who might annoy you. You can also hide tweets from people who you&#8217;ve retweeted, favorited, and starred. Although this might not be the most effective way to hide who you&#8217;ve liked on Twitter, this option ensures that nobody will see your tweets if they&#8217;re favorited.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protection_of_your_twitter_account\"><\/span>Protection of your twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can protect tweets and other aspects of your Twitter account from public users. To do this, go to settings and click on privacy. Then click on who can see your tweets and tagged photos. You can also choose to make your tweets private for all but people you follow. This setting is available for both free and premium accounts. You can protect your tweets by enabling this option to a certain level. However, protecting tweets will limit who can view them.<\/p>\n<p>Using the &#8220;protect&#8221; feature of your Twitter account is simple. First, select the &#8220;protect&#8221; checkbox next to your username to protect your tweets. You will see a padlock icon next to your username. Once you have selected the security setting, you can learn about Twitter functions. You can also create lists, learn how to write a retweetable Tweet, and use the search tools to find tweets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollowing_people_without_blocking_them\"><\/span>Unfollowing people without blocking them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can unfollow people on Twitter without blocking them if you want. This is a way to remove them from your list without contacting them. You can also play off the removal of these followers as a site glitch or mistake if you want to be honest. If you want to block them permanently, however, you should block them first before using this method. You can find more information about blocking people on Twitter by reading our article.<\/p>\n<p>You can unfollow someone on Twitter without blocking them, but this process will not be instantaneous. You&#8217;ll have to manually follow them again to see their tweets. If you block someone, they won&#8217;t be able to unfollow you unless they confirm their unblocking request. Twitter has also been testing new prompts for people who get involved in heated conversations. These prompts will warn you of the possibility of harassment on the site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_Twitter_list\"><\/span>Using a Twitter list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using a Twitter list to hide who follows you can be a great way to avoid seeing a flood of tweets from people who don&#8217;t want to be followed. You can create and delete lists at any time by clicking on your profile icon and then selecting Lists. If you don&#8217;t want everyone to see your list, you can unblock other users who are blocking you. Using lists is safer than unfollowing people because the people you follow don&#8217;t know about your list.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter makes it easy to hide the people you follow by displaying a total number of followers. To hide the amount of followers on your profile, simply create a list of the people you follow and make it private. You can always check the number of followers at any time by opening the list page. The good news is that you won&#8217;t be able to see the users you follow if they&#8217;re on a list. The list page is updated the same way as your timeline &#8211; new tweets appear at the top of the list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_Twitter_list_to_hide_inactive_followers\"><\/span>Using a Twitter list to hide inactive followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to hide inactive followers from your Twitter account, the easiest way to do so is to use a tool called iUnfollow. This tool is free to use and allows you to easily remove up to 50 followers daily. Once you&#8217;ve found the accounts you want to remove, tap on the following icon to confirm the action. After that, tap the red circle on their name to unfollow them.<\/p>\n<p>The inactive users&#8217; names will be listed in the People You Follow panel. The list will also show you how many inactive followers you have. You can filter your list by date, account age, followers, influencers, and more. If you&#8217;re trying to hide a list from an influential user, you can also select inactive followers&#8217; names from the list. This is especially useful when you want to hide a list from an influential account.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MO6fmvGwBNU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"388\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"217\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can You Hide Who You Follow on Twitter?
