Love sharing photos and posts on Twitter but prefer keeping them away from prying eyes? It's easy – just switch to a Private Twitter account.

Select Settings and Privacy.
Step 3: Now that you're on the Settings page of Twitter, proceed to Privacy and Safety >> Audience and Tagging.
Step 4: Check the box under Protect your Tweets.
Step 5: Confirm Protecting your account.
There you go, your Twitter account is now set to private.
Step 6: Additionally, to prevent strangers from messaging you, navigate back to Privacy and Safety settings, go to Direct Messages.
Step 7: Uncheck the box for Allow message requests from everyone.
