When you sign up for Twitter, you can choose to keep your Tweets public or protect your Tweets.

• Public Tweets (the default setting): Are visible to anyone, whether or not they have a Twitter account.
• Protected Tweets: Only visible to your Twitter followers. Please keep in mind, your followers may still capture images of your Tweets and share them.

Steps to protect your tweets:

• Open the Twitter app on your mobile phone
• Tap your profile picture
• Go to settings and privacy
• Go to privacy and safety
• Switch on “Protect your Tweets” (green is on)

When you block an account on Twitter, you restrict that account’s ability to interact with your account. It can be an effective way to handle unwanted interactions from accounts you do not want to engage with.

To block from a Tweet

Accounts you have blocked will not be able to view your Tweets, following or followers lists, likes, or lists when logged in on Twitter, and you will not receive notifications of mentions directly from those accounts. You’ll also stop seeing their Tweets in your timeline.

Blocked account may notice you have blocked them if they try to visit your profile or follow you, but they will not receive any notifications that you have blocked them.

Mute is a feature that allows you to remove an account’s Tweets from your timeline without unfollowing or blocking that account. Muted accounts will not know that you’ve muted them and you can unmute them at any time.

Steps to mute from a Tweet:

• Muted accounts can follow you and you can follow muted accounts. Muting an account will not cause you to unfollow them.
• Muting an account does not impact the account’s ability to send you a Direct Message.
• You will no longer receive push or SMS notifications from any muted account.

Before you Tweet, you’ll be able to choose who can reply with three options: everyone (standard Twitter, and the default setting), only people you follow, or only people you mention. Tweets with the latter two settings will be labeled and the reply icon will be grayed out so that it’s clear for people if they can’t reply. People who can’t reply will still be able to view, Retweet, Retweet with Comment, and like these Tweets.

*For now, only a limited group of people globally on Twitter for iOS, Android, and twitter.com can Tweet with these settings, but everyone can see these conversations.

• Use a strong password that you don’t reuse on other websites.
• Use two-factor authentication.
• Require email and phone number to request a reset password link or code.
• Be cautious of suspicious links and always make sure you’re on twitter.com before you enter your login information.
• Never give your username and password out to third parties, especially those promising to get you followers, make you money, or verify you.
• Make sure your computer software, including your browser, is up-to-date with the most recent upgrades and anti-virus software.
• Check to see if your account has been compromised.

You can report directly from an individual Tweet, or profile for certain violations, including: spam, abusive or harmful content, inappropriate ads, self-harm and impersonation.

Steps to report a Tweet:

1. Navigate to the Tweet you’d like to report.
2. Tap the  […] icon located at the top of the Tweet.
3. Select Report Tweet.

Steps to report a profile:

While Twitter remains a valuable tool for engaging with the public, increased safety concerns have arisen in light of their recent acquisition. While CTA is not leaving the platform, we are encouraging Twitter users to keep the following tips in mind:

• Do not use Twitter direct messages (DMs) for private or sensitive information.
• If you do decide to stop using the platform, instead of deleting your account, consider deleting all your Tweets and DMs and locking the account instead. This will ensure that bad actors can’t take over your Twitter handle later.

• Public: Your profile and posts can be seen by anyone, on or off Instagram, even if they don’t have an Instagram account.
• Private: Only the followers you approve can see what you share, including your photos or videos on hashtag and location pages, and your followers and following lists.

Steps to set photos and videos to private:

• Tap  or your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
  
• Tap  in the top right, then tap Settings.
• Tap Privacy.
• Tap next to Private Account to make your account private.

• Tap  or your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
  
• Tap Followers at the top of the screen.
• Tap Remove to the right of the follower you’d like to remove, then tap Remove to confirm.

• Pick a strong password. Use a combination of at least six numbers, letters and punctuation marks (like ! and &). It should be different from other passwords you use elsewhere on the internet.
• Change your password regularly, especially if you see a message from Instagram asking you to do so. During automated security checks, Instagram sometimes recovers login information that was stolen from other sites. If Instagram detects that your password may have been stolen, changing your password on Instagram and other sites helps to keep your account secure and prevent you from being hacked in the future.
• Never give your password to someone you don’t know and trust.
• Turn on two-factor authentication for additional account security.
• Make sure your email account is secure. Anyone who can read your email can probably also access your Instagram account. Change the passwords for all of your email accounts and make sure that no two are the same.
• Log out of Instagram when you use a computer or phone you share with other people. Don’t check the “Remember Me” box when logging in from a public computer, as this will keep you logged in even after you close the browser window.
• Think before you authorize any third-party app.

Keep in mind that your report is anonymous, except if you’re reporting an intellectual property infringement. The account you reported won’t see who reported them.

There are multiple ways to report something or someone on the Instagram app depending on the content or activity you’re trying to report. Please visit Instagram’s abuse and spam center for detailed guides.
