Enable NSFW Content on Twitter (X) – 2025 Guide

Why Enable NSFW Content on Twitter X?

Twitter, now called X, is one of the few social platforms that allows "Not Safe for Work" (NSFW) content under certain conditions. By default, X hides sensitive material to ensure a safe browsing experience for all users, especially minors.

But if you’re an adult user, you may want to adjust your account settings to allow sensitive content, whether it’s for research, communities, or just personal interest.

⚠️ Important Note: Engaging with NSFW content can attract spammy accounts, bots, and fake followers, which can impact your online credibility. That’s why tools like Circleboom are invaluable for keeping your account clean and safe.

How to Enable NSFW Content on Twitter (X)

Here are step-by-step instructions depending on the device you use.

1. Enabling NSFW Content on Desktop (Web Browser)

Step	Action
1	Log in to x.com on your browser
2	Click More (… menu) on the sidebar
3	Go to Settings & Privacy
4	Select Privacy and Safety → Content You See
5	Check the option “Display media that may contain sensitive content”

Once this is enabled, sensitive media will appear directly in your timeline.

2. Enabling NSFW Content on Android

• Open the X (Twitter) app

• Tap your Profile Icon → Settings & Support → Settings & Privacy

• Go to Privacy and Safety → Content You See

• Toggle ON: “Display media that may contain sensitive content”

3. Enabling NSFW Content on iOS (Important!)

Due to Apple’s App Store rules, you cannot enable NSFW content directly in the X app on iPhone/iPad.

Instead:

• Open Safari/Chrome browser on iOS

• Log in to x.com → Settings → Privacy & Safety

• Enable “Display media that may contain sensitive content”

✅ Once changed in the browser, the setting applies to your account and syncs to the iOS app.

4. Disabling Safe Search (for Full Access)

Even after enabling sensitive content, search results may still be filtered. To see unfiltered results:

On Desktop & Mobile:

• Go to Privacy & Safety → Content You See → Search Settings

• Toggle OFF: “Hide sensitive content”

This ensures sensitive tweets appear in search results as well.

FAQ: NSFW Settings on Twitter (X)

Q1. Why can’t I see NSFW content on X?Because by default, sensitive media is hidden. You need to enable “Display sensitive content” under Privacy & Safety → Content You See.

Q2. Why doesn’t the setting appear on my iPhone?iOS restrictions prevent NSFW toggles in the app. Instead, change the setting in a web browser (Safari/Chrome) and it will sync.

Q3. Is Circleboom required to enable NSFW content?No, the toggle is in X’s settings. But Circleboom complements your experience by removing bots, cleaning followers, and managing NSFW-heavy accounts.

Final Thoughts: Control What You See Online

Enabling NSFW content on X in 2025 is simple—but responsibly managing your account is the real game-changer. While X gives you access, it doesn’t protect you from spam, fake followers, or unwanted exposure.

That’s where tools like Circleboom step in—helping you keep a clean, credible, and safe profile, even if you choose to see sensitive content.
