Let’s look at how you can add one-time sensitive content warnings to your tweets, both on your mobile and on the web.
Twitter Rolls Out Its One-Time Sensitive Content Warning Feature to All Users
Twitter is letting you add one-time sensitive content warnings to your tweets before publishing them. Twitter tested the feature in 2021 and is now rolling it out to all users on iOS, Android, and the web.
When you add a one-time sensitive content warning to your tweets, Twitter will show that warning to the people viewing your tweet so that they can avoid content they don’t want to see or engage with.
One-time sensitive content warnings you can add to your tweets include warnings for violence, nudity, and other sensitive content. Twitter lets you add content warnings to your tweets in the drafting stage.
How to Add One-Time Sensitive Content Warnings to Your Tweets on Mobile
Here’s how you can give your tweets content warnings from your phone:

Upload your media of choice by either tapping the camera icon to take a photo or video, tapping one of your recent media in the slide, or tapping the photo icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Now tap the photo or video you’ve uploaded to pull up the editing options. Tap the flag icon in the bottom-right of the screen, then select from Nudity, Violence, and Sensitive.
