Imagine that your passion is music, photography and travel. Every day you enjoy checking your TL on Twitter to keep up with the latest news about your favorite bands, discover inspiring photography and read traveler experiences in exotic destinations. However, in the midst of that world of interests, you find yourself with content that you simply do not want to see on your TL.
Instead of what you like, you find your TL filled with political debates, sad news, or posts about topics that simply aren’t part of your passions. Even though you try to ignore or quickly swipe through those tweets, you can’t help but feel frustrated and bored when seeing that unwanted content that doesn’t add value to your Twitter experience. Let’s delete them, go on…
Identify Spam Tweets on Twitter X
The first thing you need to do is identify the twits you want to remove from your TL. This could be content you find inappropriate, topics you're not interested in, or any particular words you'd rather not see in your posts, including personal names.
Use Filter Keywords
Once unwanted twits are identified, Twitter or the new X allows you to use filter keywords to prevent them from appearing in your TL. To do so, follow these steps:
Steps to mute or restrict words on Twitter X
Go to your Twitter account settings page: Once you click on the configuration icon, a screen with various options will be displayed.
Privacy & Security: You are going to press “Privacy & Security“, another screen of options is displayed again.
Let's touch now where it says "Mute and Block“, once inside, you must press the + sign and enter the specific words or phrases that you want to filter and eliminate from your TL. Be sure to separate each word with commas to add multiple keywords at once, for example: Politics, tragedy, video games, among others.
Set the Filter Duration
In this step, you will have the option to set the duration of the filter. You can choose between different options, such as muting keywords for 24 hours, 7 days or permanently. If you only want to remove unwanted tweets temporarily, select a shorter duration. If you prefer that they be permanently deleted, choose the corresponding option.
Save Settings
Once you've added all the keywords and set the filter duration, make sure to save the settings to apply the changes.
Ready! From now on, tweets containing the filtered keywords will no longer appear in your TL.
Additional Tip, from time to time update and adjust your filters from Twitter X
It is important to remember that each person's interests and preferences can change over time. Therefore, it is advisable to regularly review and adjust keyword filters based on your current needs and tastes. This way, you can keep your TL free of unwanted content and ensure you enjoy a more personalized experience on Twitter.
