How to Make Twitter Likes Public

Twitter allows users to interact with content by liking tweets, providing a simple way to show appreciation or agreement. By default, the tweets you like on Twitter are visible to the public. However, if you’ve adjusted your privacy settings to restrict visibility, you might want to change them back and make your likes public again.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to adjust your settings to ensure your likes are visible to others.

What Are Twitter Likes?

Twitter likes are a way to interact with a tweet without replying or retweeting it. When you like a tweet:

• The user who posted it gets notified.

• The tweet gets added to your "Likes" tab on your profile.

• If your account is public, others can see your liked tweets under this tab.

Making your likes public allows your followers and others to view what content you’ve enjoyed or found valuable.

Steps to Make Twitter Likes Public

1. Check Your Privacy Settings

Your likes are only visible to others if your Twitter account is set to public. Here’s how to make your account public:

1. Open Twitter Settings:

   • On the mobile app, tap your profile picture and navigate to Settings & Support > Settings and privacy.

   • On desktop, click More in the left sidebar, then go to Settings and privacy.

2. Go to Privacy and Safety:
   Select the Privacy and Safety option in the settings menu.

3. Turn Off “Protect Your Tweets”:
   If the “Protect your Tweets” option is enabled, toggle it off to make your account public. A public account ensures that your likes and tweets are visible to everyone, not just your followers.

2. Remove Restrictions on Individual Tweets

If you’ve previously restricted who can see your tweets or likes through custom privacy settings, adjust them to public visibility:

• Navigate to the individual tweets where you’ve restricted interactions.

• Adjust the audience settings to allow broader visibility.

Tips for Managing Public Likes

• Be Mindful of What You Like: Since your likes are visible to others, ensure that the tweets you like align with how you want to present yourself online.

• Review Your Likes Periodically: You can delete specific likes by unliking tweets if you no longer want them to be associated with your account.

• Engage Authentically: Liking tweets that resonate with your personal or professional interests helps build an authentic online persona.
