How to Use Twitter Privately from your Android Smartphone

By default, every Twitter account is configured to set the visibility of all tweets to Public. This means that the tweets will be displayed to all Twitter users without any restrictions. Although this configuration is quite ideal in most cases, it might not be appreciated by the people who do not want to share their ideas/information with the masses. In order to respect privacy conscious people, Twitter allows its users to protect the tweets that they post.

When the Twitter tweets are configured to stay protected, the other Twitter users must request for the approval by the owner of the profile in order to view the protected tweets. The owner of the profile must manually and individually approve each request to view the tweets.

You can protect your Twitter tweets using your Android smartphone. Here is how:

    ■Turn on your Android phone.
    ■Tap the Menu button to go to the apps list.
