It can be quite bugging that every time you come across a post you want to open and see has a ‘viewer’s discretion advised’. Sometimes, these posts do not even open and keep us from seeing the content they hold. Today’s guide will help you see the sensitive content on ‘X’ without any trouble. Whether you are using an Android device or visiting your X account through the web, this guide covers it all for you.
How can I view sensitive content on X with Android?
If you are an Android user, you can follow the given steps to see the sensitive posts on X.
- Log in to your profile on X using your credentials and visit your profile by clicking on it. You will find it in the top right corner of the page.
- Find the option of “Settings and Support”.
- From there, choose “Settings and Privacy”.
- Now in the safety settings, you can see “Privacy and Safety”. Click on it.
- Open the “Content you see”.
- Here, the option of Sensitive media will appear. You will also find many toggles under the subcategories. Turn them on for the categories that you want to see warning-free on X.
- Visit ‘Search Settings” again and turn off the toggle in front of the “Hide Sensitive Content“.
Now you can view any sensitive post on X and will not be required to scroll past it. We understand it is frustrating when the caption captivates, and you want to see the post but can’t. But with the settings changed, you will be able to do that with ease.
How can I view sensitive content on X with the Web?
If you surf largely using the web, you can perform the same thing with slight changes here as well. Let us see how –
- Go to the website of X and log in to your account.
- Once in, visit your profile in the corner of the page.
- Under that, you will see the option of “More”. Click on it and choose “Settings and Privacy”.
- Get inside the “Settings” menu and click on “Privacy and Safety”.
- Select “Content you see”.
- Now check the box in front of “Display media that may contain sensitive content”.
- Again, in the search settings, check the box in front of “Hide sensitive content”.
With this done, you will be able to see the sensitive posts on X, which were otherwise blurred and kept away from the eyes of most of the people on the platform.
Why does X provide ‘Viewer’s Discretion’ before seeing a sensitive post?
X gives the option of viewer’s discretion as some of the posts might not be suitable for everybody. While generally the posts are normal, some may include sexual, violent as well as abusive content not suitable for people of certain age, or people who get triggered by such topics. Thus, this option is provided. By altering the settings, only those users can now view these posts who really want to and won’t get triggered.
It is advised to view the sensitive content on the media only when you can psychologically take it. It is no rat race, and one must put their preferences first.
