Are you wondering how to turn the sensitive content settings on Twitter off?
Twitter has millions of content added each day, so you may have gotten that sensitive notification in some content.
The message on posts and videos is “This following media may contain sensitive material”.
But when you visit a profile that constantly posts sensitive content, you will get a similar message which is “This profile may include potentially sensitive content”.
So to be able to view posts or profiles when you get this message, you will have to bypass it by tapping on “View”.
However, this feature shows up on sensitive content such as nudity, violence, and other issues.
Now, if you are posting this type of content, you have to enable the sensitive warning on your account for other Twitter users.
So today, I will teach how to change the Twitter settings and turn them off, to see the sensitive content without shadowing it.
How To Change Twitter Settings To See Sensitive Content
To change your Twitter settings and see sensitive content, open your Twitter account on the browser, then tap on your account photo to go to “Settings”.
A new popup will show up, so on that popup, tap on “Settings and privacy”.
Then you will be redirected to a new page, which is the settings page.
On that page, you will be able to edit all the settings of sensitive content on Twitter.
However, this method works properly on your PC or Mobile phone as well.

First, start by going to twitter.com on your PC and mobile.twitter.com on your Mobile phone, to make sure this will not make any confusion between the two URLs.
After opening the sign-in page, log in to your account.
When your Twitter home page opens, try to check the post that has sensitive content.
Now, if you want to post sensitive content from your account, then it’s important to make sure you are not violating Twitter sensitive media policy.
Otherwise, Twitter may take a sudden action to permanently suspend your account.
2.Go to the “Privacy and Safety” page
After opening your Twitter account on the browser and landing on your home page, tap on your account profile picture.
Then a new slide menu will show up from the left.
So scroll down on that menu until you find “Settings and privacy”, then tap on it.
Now a new page will open which is the “Settings” page.
On the Settings page, tap on “Privacy and safety”, then go to the next step.
3.Check the box to display sensitive media
When you open the “Privacy and safety” page, tap on the “Content you see” option.
You will then get into the page of sensitive content.
Here, you will be able to change the settings of the sensitive content that you see, but the option will remain off as default until you enable it.
So, to enable it, check the box of the “Display media that may contain sensitive content” option.
Then you will be ready to see all the sensitive content on Twitter.
However, all sensitive content will start showing on your feed.
But there are additional sensitive contents that you can’t see when you search for them.
Therefore, to see them tap on the “Search settings”, then uncheck the box of the “Hide sensitive content” option.
