How to Disable Sensitive Content Warning on Twitter

Have you ever come across the warning “This tweet may contain sensitive content” or “The following media may contain sensitive material” on Twitter? Well, these are tweets containing sensitive content such as violence or nudity. By default, Twitter (X) restricts any media that may contain NSFW content with a disclaimer. However, if you wish, you can allow them to appear on your feed. Here’s how to turn off the sensitive content warning on Twitter (X) on mobile and PC.

Disable sensitive content warning on Twitter

People often post images and videos on Twitter (X) to show what is happening in the world. At times, these media can address sensitive topics, including violent and adult content.

Many people prefer to avoid this type of content, which is why Twitter (X) marks them with a “sensitive content” label. The images and videos are then accompanied by a warning message which should be read before watching them. The same message appears on the profile posting the content.

However, if you are comfortable with displaying sensitive content in your feed, you can easily avoid the “This tweet may contain sensitive content” warning on Twitter. Below is how to turn it off, either on the Twitter (X) mobile app or on the web.
