How to Show Sensitive Content on Twitter (Updated Settings)

Introduction

Ready to take full control of your Twitter experience? This article will guide you on how to adjust your settings to display sensitive content. By default, Twitter shields its users from potentially explicit material. However, if you're an adult user who prefers unrestricted access to content, the power is in your hands to change these settings. This guide will take you through the step-by-step process to customize your content viewing on Twitter – whether it be through your web browser or the mobile application.

Allow Sensitive Content through your Settings

Inherently, Twitter filters out potentially explicit material, shielding users from viewing sensitive content. However, you can alter this by modifying your settings on either your web browser or Twitter's mobile app. Here's how:

• Access Twitter on your preferred platform and log into your account.

• On your homepage, click the "More" option located on the left-side navigation panel.

• In the ensuing dropdown list, select "Settings and Support."

Twitter > Settings and Support

• From there, go to "Settings and Privacy."

• A new list of settings will present itself, among which you should click on "Privacy and Safety."

• Under this section, choose "Content You See," the third option down.
