2 How to Mute Politics on Twitter
Twitter’s newsfeed is a little less mysterious than Facebook and Apple News’ because Tweets from people and pages that you follow show up on your Twitter timeline in chronological order – but Twitter has a hidden trick that allows you to continue to follow the pages that post political topics, while only hiding specific keywords of your choosing. This way you won’t miss any news you want to see while filtering the news you don’t want to see.
- Open the Twitter app.
- Press your profile picture in the top-left corner.
- Press “Settings and Privacy.”
- Tap “Content Preferences.”
- Tap “Muted.”
- Tap “Muted Words” to add a list of words, phrases and hashtags that you’d rather not see. You may only add one word or phrase at a time.
