How to deprive X account on mobile
Before we talk about the method for cell phones, we need to explain the difference between a public and a private account. In a public account, anyone can see and interact with your posts (except those you block), while in a private account, only those you allow to follow you will have access to the content of your account. Bearing this in mind, think carefully about what you post if your account is public, since any user of the platform will be able to see it.
Now that you know the difference, let's go step by step. First, open X on your cell phone and go to the icon with your profile picture. Then select "Settings and support" and "Privacy and security". Now just go to "Audience and tagging" and enable "Protect your posts". That's it! Now you know how to deprive X account on your Android phone.
How to deprive X account on computer
The method used on the computer is very similar to the previous one, however, the X interface in the browser is very different from the interface in the application, which can end up confusing many users. Remember that it makes no difference where you decide to deprive your account, computer or mobile, the result is the same.
First, go to "More" in the left-hand corner of the screen, then "Settings and support". In the next menu, select the "Settings and privacy" option. This will take you to another screen, where you should go to "Privacy and security" followed by "Audience and tagging". Now just select "Protect your posts" and that's it, your X account is now private.
