If you want to receive texts from Twitter but do not want your friends to see your messages, you can disable the SMS direct message functionality on Twitter. You can also choose to read or send tweets directly from your cell phone. However, this feature can be invasive since it can contain your personal information. Here are a few tips to turn off Twitter direct messaging functionality on your cell phone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_Read_Receipts_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Disable Read Receipts on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you use Twitter on a mobile device, you can turn off read receipts on your profile. These notifications appear after a person reads a message sent to them via Twitter. By turning off read receipts, you can make sure no one can know that you&#8217;ve read their message. Twitter understands that they may be a privacy concern for some users, and have made the feature easy to turn off.<\/p>\n<p>By default, read receipts are enabled for every tweet you send. If you want to prevent this, however, you can disable them on your profile. Disabling read receipts on Twitter will stop notifications from displaying when someone reads your messages. This option is available to anyone on Twitter, and it will disable them for you instantly. It is best to disable this setting when you are not actively using Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Open_a_DM\"><\/span>Open a DM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are curious as to how you can turn off DMs on Twitter, you may be wondering how you can do that. Generally, when you receive direct messages from Twitter users, you will see an alert at the bottom of your home screen in the form of a bubble and a number. The number indicates the number of new DMs you have received. To turn off DMs, just follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure you have turned off Message requests and Additional messages inboxes. You can also turn off filtering low-quality messages. After you have done this, you can manage up to three DMs inboxes. However, it is important to note that these messages are not necessarily private or confidential. So, you should make sure that you do not spam people or send unwanted messages.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Send_a_DM\"><\/span>Send a DM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering how to turn off DMs phone on Twitter. You can easily disable the feature in your account settings. If you do not want to receive DMs from those you do not follow, you can delete them from your inbox. This way, you won&#8217;t be bothered by unwanted messages. However, if you receive important messages from people you do follow, you should save them to your computer before deleting them.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to delete individual DMs or messages. First, go to the Messages tab. From there, choose the person or brand you want to send the message to. You can even type in their name and select &#8220;Next.&#8221; When the recipient replies, their DM will be removed. Alternatively, you can also delete the message by clicking on the &#8220;Trash Can&#8221; icon. You should also know that there is a character limit on the messages that you can send.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_DM\"><\/span>Delete a DM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to delete a direct message (DM) on Twitter, you aren&#8217;t alone. The social media giant is introducing a new feature for users to delete DMs. Now, users can delete old DMs that they haven&#8217;t replied to, and you can even upload the metadata of those messages to your Twitter account. It&#8217;s a good idea to delete DMs before they have been delivered, though.<\/p>\n<p>To delete a DM on Twitter, first, you need to go to the person&#8217;s profile page and click on the &#8220;reply&#8221; button. You&#8217;ll find a list of all the DMs that you&#8217;ve sent and received. You can also choose to delete them from the person&#8217;s profile. You can also choose to delete all DMs from their profile if you wish. You can also deactivate their account if you&#8217;re tired of getting messages from the same person. This way, you won&#8217;t receive those unwanted messages anymore.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mute_a_tweet\"><\/span>Mute a tweet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever been irritated by a person&#8217;s over-enthusiastic followership, you know that it&#8217;s frustrating and time-consuming to filter through their constant messages and DMs. Thankfully, Twitter allows users to mute specific words or phrases on their feed. It&#8217;s like muting someone&#8217;s phone so that you don&#8217;t get notified of every interaction they have with you.<\/p>\n<p>To mute a tweet, simply navigate to the profile of the person you&#8217;d like to block. Then click the three dots at the top right-hand corner to reveal a drop-down menu with options that can help you manage the number of notifications that you&#8217;d like to receive. You can unmute the tweet later if you&#8217;d like. You can also mute a tweet by following a link and click it again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Block_a_DM\"><\/span>Block a DM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve received a DM from an account you&#8217;re not following, you&#8217;re probably wondering how to block it. Direct messages are sent by people you&#8217;ve selected to follow. But the person you&#8217;re DM-ing is blocked until you unblock them. You can see whether a user is blocked by looking at their history and data. If you&#8217;ve blocked them, you can undo the action by unfollowing them.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, check your inbox. Sometimes, a DM will be filtered by Twitter as spam, so you might have missed it. The next time you see this message, double check to see if it was flagged. Twitter&#8217;s spam filters are extremely aggressive, so sometimes legitimate messages get flagged as spam. You can also try disabling read receipts if you receive DMs from people you don&#8217;t follow.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ELr_L2sKhLg\" height=\"201\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"359\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Off DMs Phone on Twitter Whenever you receive a text message from Twitter, you might wonder how to turn off read receipts on your cell phone.
