What is sensitive content on Twitter?
Social media sites have standards that place potentially sensitive information in a separate category.
Twitter utilizes sensitive content warnings to guarantee that content intended for children does not end up in the same Twitter feed as content designed for adults.
Warnings about potentially sensitive content are displayed on Twitter by default. They include phrases such as “This media may include sensitive material,” “This profile could include potentially sensitive stuff,” and “The following media includes presumably sensitive content.”
However, if you wish to see information unsuitable for work or school, you cannot just ignore the warning message; instead, you will need to change the sensitive content settings associated with your account.
Follow the steps below to remove sensitive content on Twitter:
- Click More on the left hand side of the screen
- Choose “Settings and Privacy” from the menu options
- Navigate to the “Privacy and Safety” tab
- Select “Content you see,” and then tick the box next to “Display media that may include sensitive content.”
- If you choose to enable sensitive information, the feed you are subscribed to will no longer be filtered.
Uncheck the box and then click the save button if you want to keep private information hidden from other readers of your feed.
You can only change your private or sensitive information settings using the Twitter app on Android devices. This setting is not currently accessible in the Twitter app for iPhone; however, it is coming soon.
Now that we know what sensitive content is, it is time to look at how to take off sensitive settings on Twitter.

Sensitive Tweets which include graphic content, misleading informative content, NSFW content, graphic violence, extreme violence, sensitive images, offensive content, inappropriate content, and sexual violence) are typically concealed from Twitter searches.
You may not be able to view sensitive content on Twitter if you have the settings enabled. This will prevent you from viewing harmful content.
Users on Twitter have the option to change this setting. Return to the “Content you view” menu, then choose “Search settings” from the drop-down menu (sidebar menu) that appears.

As soon as you’ve completed that step, you should be able to view sensitive information in your searches and on the Twitter website. If you have those settings turned off, you may be exposed to some legal but harmful content, which is precisely what you requested.
