The moment you sign up for Twitter, your account becomes public by default, meaning anyone can see your tweets and interact with you. Most of the profile information you provide upon signing up with the service is always public, including things such as your bio, location, website, and account photo.

Mobile experience on Twitter is no exception, but you can protect your Tweets to enjoy full privacy and control your information by limiting visibility through account settings. Here’s how you can change Twitter privacy on your Android smartphone:


    ■ Locate and open the Twitter app on your device.

    ■ If prompted, provide your phone, email or username and password in the respective fields and tap Log in.
