Twitter ‘privacy check-in’ to let you hide account from searches

Twitter has shared couple of new ideas around maintaining user privacy and a ‘privacy check-in’ feature would allow people to remain more secure on the platform, including a way to hide their accounts from searches if they are being harassed.

Twitter’s ‘privacy check-in’ feature would take users through a series of questions that help them think about how public or private they want to be on the platform.

“For example, they could choose whether everyone can see their tweets or not, who’s allowed to send them direct messages, or who can tag them in photos,” reports TechCrunch.

According to Lena Emara, People Experience Designer at Twitter, privacy is one of those things everyone wants, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all.

“Very early concepts in Threadare ways I’m exploring to make Twitter healthier. These are just ideas and not being built (yet?), so your feedback is helpful!,” she said in a tweet late on Tuesday.
