Public or protected?
When you sign up for Twitter, you have the option of keeping your
account public (the default account setting) or protecting your account.
- Public accounts have profile pages that are visible to everyone.
- Protected accounts require manual approval of each
and every person who may view that account's Tweets. Only approved
followers can view Tweets made on a protected account.
Why Would I Protect My Account?
If the idea of strangers reading your Twitter updates makes you feel a
little weird, try protecting your profile at first. You can always
change your mind later. When you protect your account, the following
restrictions are put in place:
- People will have to request to follow you and each follow request will need approval
- Your Profile and Tweets will only be visible to users you've approved, meaning that other users will not be able to retweet your Tweets
- Protected Profiles' Tweets will not appear in Twitter search
- @replies sent to people who aren't following you will not be seen
- You cannot share permanent links to your Tweets with anyone other than your approved followers
How Do I Protect My Account?
You can protect your profile in your
account settings page, following these steps:
- Log in to your Twitter account
- Visit your Account Settings Page by selecting Settings from the drop-down menu on the right hand side of your screen.
- Scroll down and check the box next to Protect my Tweets
- Save your changes
When you navigate to your home page after protecting your profile,
you'll see a notice reminding you that your profile is now protected.
Protected accounts can always go public by un-checking the box in
account settings.
