How To Change Sensitive Media Settings on Twitter

Are you tired of seeing the “potentially sensitive content” warning on Twitter? Do you want to see the sensitive media or tweets automatically?

Twitter is keen on the content users view and offers a sensitivity warning to ensure you consent to what media or tweet you want to view. Content containing nudity, illegal substances, or violence will often have a sensitive warning.

This guide covers all there is to know about sensitive media on Twitter. We will understand what sensitive content means and how to automatically modify the settings to view sensitive media. Furthermore, we will see how to mark media and individual tweets as sensitive and report sensitive media to Twitter.

How To Change Sensitive Media Settings on Twitter

Twitter is sensitive to nudity, illegal content, and violence. Any content containing any of the three should get marked as sensitive before posting.

When that happens, Twitter will automatically display the “potentially sensitive content” warning to ensure users know what the media, profile, or tweet contains before opening it.

If you are tired of getting this warning message, you can decide to change your settings to allow the viewing of sensitive content automatically. Here’s the thing; you can modify these settings on the Twitter web or mobile app. If it doesn’t work for iPhone, use the Twitter web to modify it, then resume accessing your Twitter account from your iPhone.

 Here’s how to change sensitive media settings on Twitter:

1. Open the Twitter website or access your account using the mobile app.
2. Click on “Settings and Privacy” or click the “More” button, then click on it from the menu.
3. Click the “Privacy and Safety” option.
4. Next, click the “Content you see” option.
5. Lastly, mark the checkbox on the right of the option to display sensitive content.

With that enabled, Twitter will no longer offer you warning messages. Instead, it will give you a “View” button to see all tweets, media, and profiles containing sensitive content.

How To Mark Twitter Content as Sensitive

Twitter is keen on understanding the type of content you want to upload. It allows users to adjust their media settings and mark content as sensitive before posting.

For Individual Tweets

Twitter also allows you to mark an individual tweet as sensitive, which works for Android, iPhone, and the Twitter web.

Reporting Sensitive Media on Twitter

Marking Tweets as sensitive is recommended by Twitter to avoid openly tweeting sensitive content without warning users.

To report a tweet, use the steps below:

1. Access tweets from the mobile app or Twitter website.
2. Click the three dots below the tweet.
