Who Sees What You Like on Twitter?

Published in Social Media Privacy 2 mins read

Your Twitter likes are visible to anyone who has access to your profile. This includes:

  • Your followers: Anyone who follows you can see your likes.
  • People who visit your profile: If someone visits your profile, they can see your likes.
  • People who search for your likes: If someone searches for your likes, they can see them.
  • Anyone who has access to your Twitter data: This includes Twitter itself and any third-party apps that you've granted access to.

Note: If you have a private account, only your approved followers can see your likes.

Practical Insights:

  • Be mindful of what you like, as it can be seen by a wide audience.
  • You can use the "Like" button to engage with content you find interesting, but be aware of the potential visibility.
  • If you're concerned about privacy, you can always un-like something after you've liked it.

Solutions:

  • Private Account: Switch to a private account to limit who can see your likes.
  • Un-like Content: Un-like tweets you don't want to be associated with.
  • Third-Party Apps: Review the permissions you've granted to third-party apps and revoke access if necessary.
