How to Make Your X Account Private

Murali Teja

Open X Settings: Launch the X app or website, access Settings and Privacy, then navigate to the Privacy and Safety section easily.

Go to Privacy Settings: Select Privacy and Safety to find account visibility options that let you control who can view your posts.

Enable Protected Posts: Turn on the Protect Your Posts option so only approved followers can see your tweets and account activity.

Approve Follow Requests: Once your account becomes private, new followers must send requests that you can approve or decline manually.

Limit Post Visibility: Protected posts remain visible only to approved followers, preventing non-followers from viewing or sharing your content publicly.

Review Existing Followers: Check your follower list regularly and remove unwanted followers because approved followers retain access to protected posts.

Manage Tagging Preferences: Adjust privacy settings to control photo tagging, direct messages, and discoverability for greater account protection and privacy.

Disable Discoverability: Turn off options allowing people to find your account through your email address or phone number for better privacy.

Verify Privacy Status: Visit your profile from a logged-out browser or another account to confirm your posts are no longer publicly visible.
