How to Turn Off Twitter Image Previews
How to Turn Off Twitter Image Previews
Want to scroll through your X, formerly known as Twitter feed without having to load every image? This wikiHow teaches you how to prevent previews of image or video content from appearing in your X feed when you're using an iPhone or iPad. And while you can't block all photo and video previews when using X on your computer, you can turn on the feature that prevents explicit or sensitive content from appearing in your feed.
Disabling Image Previews on Twitter/X

Using the X/Twitter Mobile App

Open X. Tap the X app icon, which resembles a white X on a black background. Doing so opens your X feed if you're logged in. If you aren't logged into your X account, enter your email address (or username) and password before proceeding.

Tap the menu ☰. It's at the top-left corner.

Tap Settings and privacy on the menu.

Tap Display and sound. It's the first option in the "General" section.

Tap the "Media previews" switch or checkbox to disable previews. If you're using an iPhone or iPad, tap the green switch to turn off previews. If you're on an Android, tap the checkbox to remove the checkmark. X will no longer display photo or video previews on your timeline.

Using Twitter.com on a Computer

Understand what you can block. While the X website doesn't allow you to block all image previews, you can prevent potentially sensitive or offensive content from appearing in your feed.

Go to https://www.twitter.com in your computer's web browser. This opens your X feed if you're logged in. If you aren't logged in, enter your email address (or username) and password before proceeding.

Click the More tab. It's on the left side of the page.

Click Settings and privacy on the menu.

Click Privacy and safety. It's under the "Settings" header in the center panel.

Click Content you see. It's in the right panel under "Your Twitter activity."

Uncheck the “Display media that may contain sensitive content” box. It's at the top of the right panel. This prevents X from displaying potentially inappropriate content in your feed.

What's your reaction?
