While Twitter is a fairly mature social media app, it’s not entirely devoid of NFSW and inappropriate content. As a result, Twitter labels those tweets as Sensitive Content and hides it from users. However, some tweets are falsely flagged, and if you want to access them or don’t mind viewing such content in general, here’s how to view sensitive content on Twitter.
Twitter offers the option to turn sensitive content on or off on Twitter. In this article, we’ll help you use this toggle, on both the web version and the mobile app. But before that, let’s first understand what sensitive content means.
What is sensitive content on Twitter?
Whenever a user uploads an image in a Tweet, they are allowed to provide information regarding the nature of the Tweet. So, when a user decides to Tweet about something that viewers should be warned about in advance, such as sensitive or offensive content, they can appropriately mark their media settings.
And once they do, Twitter will take note and mark it as sensitive content. Therefore, when a user sees such a tweet, they will see a sign that says ‘The following media includes potentially sensitive content’. Now you will only be able to see images or videos on Twitter when you click ‘Show’.
However, as mentioned earlier, some tweets can be falsely marked as sensitive, so you might consider turning this flag off. Here’s how you can go about it.
Note: Unfortunately, these controls aren’t available on the iPhone app yet. However, you can use Twitter on Safari to change sensitive content settings, and the same will reflect in your iPhone app.
