How to Add Content Warnings to Your Tweets
Twitter is giving you the opportunity to do your part in making Twitter an enjoyable experience for everyone by helping other users steer clear of any sensitive Tweets you may upload.
Let’s take a look at how you can add one-time sensitive content warnings to your Tweets on both mobile and the web.
Twitter rolls out one-time sensitive content warning feature for all users
Twitter is letting you add one-time sensitive content warnings to your Tweets before publishing them. Twitter tested the feature in 2021 and is now rolling it out to all users on iOS, Android and the web.
When you add a one-time sensitive content warning to your Tweet, Twitter will show that warning to people who see your Tweet so they can avoid content they don’t want them to see or engage with.
One-time sensitive content warnings that you can add to your Tweets include warnings for violence, nudity, and other sensitive content. Twitter lets you add content warnings to your Tweets at the drafting stage.
How to add one-time sensitive content warnings to your Tweets on mobile
Upload media of your choice by tapping the camera icon to take a photo or video, tapping one of your recent media in the slide, or tapping the photo icon in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Now tap on the photo or video you uploaded to pull up the editing options.
Tap the flag icon in the bottom-right of the screen, then choose from Nudity, Violence, and Sensitive. You can also select up to all warnings, if applicable. Twitter will then show you a preview of the alert as it will appear to other users.
Tap Done, then Save, and then Tweet—all in the upper-right corner of your screen—to publish your Tweet.
After you publish your Tweet, anyone who sees it will see a warning, as well as the option to tap Show if they want to see the Tweet.
