▶ How to mute words on Twitter
Table of contents:
It's not news that toxicity on this social network is breaking records, so today we'll teach you how to silence words on Twitter This This function is one of the most useful that we can currently use, but it is much less known than those for muting conversations or users. If your children often use your mobile and there is a risk of them entering your Twitter account, it is also a good method to prevent them from being exposed to inappropriate content.
By muting a specific word or group of words, we will make sure that doesn't appear in our TL again in the future, no matter how much our closest friends tweet it.For example, if we have something against the song Aserejé, adding this term to our list of silenced words will stop being exposed to it. If you get angry when you see other tweeters say “I open thread”, to make way for a sermon of biblical proportions, you can also add them and thus avoid having to mute the user to 100%.
How muting words on Twitter works
Sounds interesting, right? Below we detail how silencing words on Twitter works When you enter the application, display the main menu (the one with the icon with the three horizontal stripes that you find at the top of the left), and click on 'Settings and privacy'.
Once there, enter 'Privacy and security' and scroll down. In the 'Security' section you have several options to limit the content you want to see, and in this case we will access 'Silenced words'.Once inside, we will see our list of banned words, and in the lower right part a circle with the '+' icon. That is where we will enter our word, being able to also specify a period of time to silence it (a fashion television program, for example. Click on 'Save' and we will no longer know anything about our new banned word. In this image you will find a graphical guide to where to find each option.
The process is similar for both Android and iOS users, but the latter have an extra trick that was detected by a developer software developer who calls himself @nonprofWHIT on Twitter. This trick consists of holding down a word for a few seconds until a menu opens that will allow you not only to copy it or search for it on the Internet, but also to silence it. Here we leave you a tutorial in which she herself explains how to do it.
How to mute hashtags on Twitter
If you don't want to mute a particular word but are interested how to mute hashtags on Twitter, don't worry. This function also serves to stop seeing those targeted campaigns that all they do is add an unwanted amount of spam to our TL. You will only have to follow the same path that you used to silence a word, and add in its place the hashtag, for example, SummerSong, with its corresponding hashtag in front.
Remember that if you end up regretting it, you can always enter your list of banned words (or of silenced and/or blocked users) and remove the punishment if the situation has calmed down and that word has lost its validity after overwhelming us to that point. About how to silence users we already wrote at the time in this article.
