How to turn off sensitive content on X

I remember scrolling through my X (formerly Twitter) feed one time, just casually catching up on things, and unexpectedly stumbled upon something that really made me do a double-take—and not in a good way!

It kind of made me realize that while X is fantastic for staying connected, the sheer volume and variety of content can sometimes throw things your way that you'd honestly rather avoid. Whether it's something visually jarring, a topic that hits a bit too close to home, or just content that doesn't align with your personal tastes, it can definitely take away from the overall experience.

The good news is that X actually provides tools to help you manage this and filter out some of that potentially sensitive media. Let's discuss how to adjust the settings and create a more personalized X experience for you.

💡

You can only adjust this setting through the web version of X, not the mobile app.

Conclusion

So, there you have it! Taking control of the sensitive content you see on X is definitely within your reach. By going into those settings and making a few adjustments, you can significantly tailor your experience and create a feed that feels much more aligned with your preferences.
