How to Make a Twitter Account Private on Mobile?

Making your Twitter account private is like putting up a virtual fence around your tweets. Here’s how you do it on the mobile app:

Step 1: Open the Twitter app on your phone.

Step 2: Tap the little gear icon in the top-right corner.

Step 3: Select “Settings and privacy.”

Step 4: Click on “Privacy and safety.”

Step 5: Find “Audience and tagging” and slide the button next to “Protect your Tweets.”

Don’t forget to tap “Save changes” at the bottom.

Now, with your account in private, only the people you’ve given access can check out your tweets. If someone isn’t following you, they won’t see your tweets, even if they try to search for them.

Also, managing your followers is easy – just visit your profile and tap the “Followers” tab. If you ever want to go public again, follow the same steps and switch off the “Protect your Tweets” toggle.
