There are times when you only want your closest friends to be able to view your private thoughts on Twitter. Fortunately, Twitter has a helpful feature that allows you to change your account status from public to private and back again, as often as you desire!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When your account is public, it means that your Tweets can be seen by anyone on the platform that you haven\u2019t blocked. When it\u2019s private, only the people that you\u2019ve allowed to follow you can see your posts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Switch Your Twitter Account From Public To Private?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Why would you want to be able to switch your status back and forth? One common reason is that you\u2019ve been applying for jobs. Companies often look up prospective hires’ social media accounts, and making your Twitter account private ensures that their decision isn\u2019t influenced by your posts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another reason is to avoid sparking arguments with trolls or bots in your replies. When your account is private, only the people you\u2019ve selected to be in your circle of <\/span>followers<\/span> can reply to your posts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, you may just want to take a hiatus from Twitter and avoid generating a lot of attention from engagement. Whatever your purpose, though, if you want to make your account public again, you can do so at any time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
