First, you can make it private by clicking the option &#8220;private&#8221;. Then, you can choose to make your tweets private on mobile devices only, which means that other people can&#8217;t see what you post. However, you have to be careful about how you share this information as screenshots can be shared publicly. So, if you&#8217;re worried about privacy, this option won&#8217;t be right for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unprotecting_your_tweets\"><\/span>Unprotecting your tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To make your tweets more visible to the public, you can unprotect them. While this is not the same as making them private, it will prevent people from automatically following you or viewing them. When you have protected your tweets, you will only be able to see them if you choose to accept or deny the requests. There are specific steps to unprotect your tweets on Twitter. You can follow these steps on both PCs and MACs.<\/p>\n<p>Protecting your tweets will prevent anyone else from seeing them, even celebrities. They will only be visible to people you allow to follow you. However, tweets you&#8217;ve protected before will continue to show up in search results on other websites unless you have explicitly removed them. Unprotecting your tweets on your Twitter account is an excellent way to maintain the privacy of your tweets. It is also the most secure way to prevent your tweets from being published in the public domain.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_your_tweets_private\"><\/span>Making your tweets private<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Protecting your tweets on Twitter can give you more privacy, but it also changes how you use the site. Instead of a public discussion board, your Tweets are only visible to the account holders you&#8217;ve chosen to follow. Those that don&#8217;t follow you can&#8217;t see your tweets, and anyone who doesn&#8217;t follow you won&#8217;t see any of your replies. The trade-off is that you won&#8217;t have as much information to spread about your business.<\/p>\n<p>To make your tweets private on Twitter, you must first log in to your account. Once there, click on settings and privacy. Here you can choose who can see your tweets and any photos you&#8217;ve tagged. If you want to protect only a particular group of followers, you can click on the &#8216;Mute&#8217; option. Alternatively, you can remove all followers from your list. This method is effective when you&#8217;d like to keep your tweets private for a specific group of people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_your_tweets_private_on_mobile\"><\/span>Making your tweets private on mobile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To make your tweets private on mobile, open the Twitter app and tap on the profile icon. Go to the settings page. Scroll down and select the privacy and safety tab. Select Protect your Tweets. Click the &#8216;Yes&#8217; button to confirm. Now, your tweets will only be visible to you and your followers. You can also mute your account to prevent unwanted followers. Just make sure you don&#8217;t delete your tweets before re-protecting them.<\/p>\n<p>To make your tweets private on mobile, follow the same steps as for desktop. To make them public, go to Audience &amp; Tagging &gt; Protect your Tweets. After this, the slide bar will no longer show in the green color. If you want to make them private again, go back to the settings and repeat the process. To do so, visit the Settings page of the app and tap Protect your tweets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_your_tweets_private_on_desktop\"><\/span>Making your tweets private on desktop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re on your desktop and you use Twitter, you may be wondering how to make your tweets private. Twitter allows users to protect their tweets by making them visible only to followers. But before you can do that, you have to make your account private. You can do this by selecting the &#8220;private&#8221; option. However, be warned that this feature isn&#8217;t perfect. If you want to protect your tweets, you need to use care.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your Twitter account is protected before you tweet anything. The privacy setting isn&#8217;t retroactive, so any followers you&#8217;ve gained before you set your account to private will still see your tweets. The good news is that you can remove followers before you make them private. This feature is also available on mobile devices. To make your tweets private, first open the app. Click on the profile icon. From here, go to the &#8220;Settings&#8221; page. Click on Privacy and safety. Click on the &#8220;Protect your Tweets&#8221; slider.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switching_to_a_private_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Switching to a private Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been using a public Twitter account for a while and want to try something new, you can switch to a private one. Switching to a private account prevents people from seeing your tweets unless they&#8217;re one of your followers. Changing your Twitter account&#8217;s privacy settings is simple, and can make the difference between a public and private account. This article outlines the steps to switching between a public and private account.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to make your Twitter profile private, go to the Settings page. Scroll down to the section labeled &#8220;Security.&#8221; Here, you&#8217;ll find a slider that indicates whether your profile is private or public. Once you&#8217;ve selected the privacy setting, anyone who visits your profile can&#8217;t see your tweets. You can&#8217;t protect your account before you&#8217;ve started following people, though.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"369\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n6rkosF9Knk\" height=\"206\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Make My Twitter Account Private If you&#8217;re wondering how to make my Twitter account private, there are a few things you can do.
