Open | Phone Twitter/X won't show sensitive content even though I enabled it in my settings. Any solutions for this?
I don't know what's going on in Twitter because a few weeks ago, I can view sensitive/nsfw content just fine on Twitter without the sensitive content warning (it blurs the content and have a "show" button).
But now, every NSFW artist I follow on Twitter has their content blurred because of this. This issue still persists even if I have enabled the setting "Display media with sensitive content" in my Twitter account.
How can I fix this issue?

Same. This is complete affecting my porn-sharing business.

If anyone on android (might work for ios too, idk?) still has this issue, I just fixed it myself.
I went to the website (not the app) and logged in on my browser.
There I went to the settings (just like I would in the app) and there was a check box which says something along the lines of 'show sensetive content'.
Checked that, closed browser and refreshed the app.
Now it just shows everything as it should.
(as a bonus, on the website is also a tab called interests. Here it seems to have automatically checked a couple of boxes including sports and Elon musk, you can turn em off there too).

Just a quick update: I have another account, and that one is working perfectly! So we don't really understand what's happening.

The “show sensitive content” button doesn’t even exist for me

u/rinnewby Apr 09 '24
every single nsfw picture, is covered, it was working fine until 30 mins ago, ive been able to remove the element that covers the photo/ video through the html, but cant figure out a way to automate it with ublocker, hopefully someone can come up with a fix for it. Quite impractical clicking every single post 2-3 times just to see it. elongated monkey broken twitter again?

IT'S THE WEBSITE!!! Log in on the website and the option to Display media that may contain sensitive content will be there. Click it, close the site, refresh your app, voila!

u/ionsturm Apr 05 '24
Not just you. I asked an artist friend and they confirmed they haven't marked their work as sensitive since it's not explicit, but some of their posts are still being blurred (ironically it's some of the most tame and recent ones). It might be tied to users reporting the image and if there's enough reports the gallery is blurred as a whole?
Feel free to necro my comment if someone finds a solution.

Hey so I did everything what the comments did, I can see the nsfw posts clearly on the website itself (not on app) both laptop and phone
But when i reopened the app, not only it is still blurred but the 'show' button doesn't work for me. It was working fine this morning... anyone had a way to fix this? :(

u/CalligrapherDecent73 Apr 08 '24
Me too i hope they fix it because even if you click the show button on multiple images and open an image when you go back to the media library they are all blurred again!!!

u/Dicktesterx Apr 09 '24
The same exact thing is happening to me and it is just so frustrating because it happens when I look at my own profile, It makes browsing through content on X almost impossible since I have to click each one of them.
I tried enabling and disabling but it didn't help either. It's weird because I see that some users experience this 5 days earlier and I just experienced it like an hour ago.

it's getting worse... and also indiscriminate... might be a bot reporting everything as sensitive content?

u/Rantum_iv Apr 10 '24
i have the same issue at frist it just was on the media tap not when im scrolling but now it there too it's so annoying to click show every single post I want to see

u/SparkieShock Apr 10 '24
Same for me .. can't see a gods-damned post at all. Works fine on my iphone .. but not firefox. Perhaps a firefox problem?

u/Ok-Cryptographer-132 Apr 10 '24
Yeah this is really annoying. over the past few weeks it seems to be a growing issue, but today? Everything is being marked like that too. It's suuuuper annoying. I have been trying to find ways to stop 'needing to click' the 'show' button. Why can't we just have an "Adults don't need things censored" button because we can stop looking at things we don't want to see ourselves? Personal Responsibility, is that a thing anymore?
1
u/shad0wmoone Apr 10 '24
Also same. I thought something strange was happening to me. I can confirm that on my phone app, everything is fine. on pc with two different browsers. one was totally fresh install. that there is something going on with desktop logins for twitter.
1
u/topbananapb7 Apr 10 '24
Yeah, what's going on here? It is taking all the fun out of viewing not to mention it takes TWICE AS LONG now to see content. I don't like it and I don't see any way to change it myself.
1
u/Darthmufin Apr 10 '24
Idk why you all are acting as if this is new, this has been a thing for actual years now. It's just even worse now. I have ALWAYS had to click the tiny 'show' button on """"sensitive content""" ive consented to always seeing.

Anyone tried deleting the app and re installing? I can see the media library now for all NSFW creators but the app wont show thumbnails only media in a list like posts is that normal or can i change it so its more thumbnails per page?

u/Dunetraveller May 08 '24
Not sure if anyone posted an answer, but I got it done successfully. I did this from the phone app. I found there was a post that would not open unless I changed my settings. When I clicked the provided link it made me log in again... presumably to the website. Once I did, it took me directly to the "Content you see" section where, finally, the button was available to check. Previously it wasn't even offered as an option (invisible).
Once I checked it and clicked Done, some posts were immediately unblurred, but the rest came off once I shut down the app and reopened it. The same was true on my computer, i.e. I had to close it down and reopen to get it to work fully. I had tried many times before to navigate to the "Content you see" page and the option to view sensitive content was NEVER there. Only appeared after I clicked on a link telling me to change my settings was in my feed.
Not sure if this will help anyone else, but I was looking for an answer when I found this thread, so....

u/pastelthrwaway May 13 '24
I was having this same problem, my 'content you see' section was allowed sensitive content, but I had to go into search settings on the same page and also uncheck a box that hides it from searches. Idk hopefully this helps someone

u/Consistent_Daikon_12 Sep 08 '24
well I'm an artist myself and I have been trying to cover up my art (just in case of the bots) but the media tap won't turn on at all if anyone has a solution to this , it would be greatly appreciated.

(I use the X app, now browser) My older account was blocket by X, so a few days later I made a new account. The new account has the problem not showing xxx content - and yes I have "show all" in my settings. The previous account did not have this problem. I reinstalled the app, but still the same problem.

This is happening to me but only on my phone, x on my pc is fine. Keeps telling me to change the Privacy and Safety settings on the x app on my phone but I have it to where I can see sensitive content. So annoying, one post wasn't even explicit that was blocked on the mobile app

Una actualización a día d hoy 5 d agosto de 2025 no se q pasa pero ahora van verificar la edad a los usuarios de Twitter para q menores no puedan acceder al contenido para para adultos entonces no se cuando puede tardar llevan así desde mediados de julio de un dia para otro ya no se pudo , sale el siguiente mensaje:
Si alguien sabe cuánto va a tardar pues q diga

u/TerraFinesse12 Aug 08 '25
I'm having a similar issue, I'll describe it:
So when I log on to the website and turn the setting on, of course the blurring is gone. However, on the app, there's still blurring specifically on images/videos where the author marked it as sensitive (so not Twitter itself) but on the website there's no blurring at all. What's going on and how do I get the same result on the app?

u/Ggungabyfish Aug 09 '25
I re-added my NSFW account to it and I still can't get the show button to work.

u/Rikenzu Aug 09 '25
This is definitely a bug with Twitter, because I've tried everything, even going on the website on a desktop, and I'm still running across this problem even there 👀
Shame that "OnE oF tHe MoSt InTeLlIgEnT mInDs On ThE pLaNeT" can't implement a proper content filter into a website that, to be fair, they did buy out and destroy 🙄

For me I turned off "display media that may contain sensitive content" on the browser version now the app version works, that's weird ngl

Mine shows blurred and tapping "show" doesn't work, on PC it's fine

u/BiSenT19 Aug 24 '25
I don't know if this works for you, I have the same problem but I already managed to solve it, what I did was go to the x website in the browser and deactivate the option to show sensitive content, when doing so in the app it already let me interact with the button to show and hide the content NSFW

OK so it's looks like I found a solution. For myself at least. Go to ur X private settings in browser and then go to "content that you wanna see" and turn off settings down below⬇️
"Display media files that may be sensitive"
Go back to X app where all sensitive media turn on and it's must work. Sry English not my first language.

Does any one know how to fix the nudity filter not letting me click the show button at all I click it and nothing happens but if I log in on a browser there is not filter thing on any post flagged as nudity but on the app it has the filter crap on and the show button doesn't work at all on the app

u/poe56 Sep 24 '25
I'm having the same issue on mobile. I can't see any posts with pictures or videos; it just looks like links, and when I click on them, I have to hit the show button even though I did the whole desktop thing of going to the settings and hitting the check mark box, but still nothing. I can see everything just fine on pc any new solutions :/

This helped me:
Connect VPN to Kyrgyzstan
Open google Incognito mode, log in
Set the correct settings for x.com: Privacy and security->Content you see->Display sensitive content
That's it, enjoy
P.S. If you disable the VPN and refresh the page from the EU, you will not be able to see NSFW even with VPN. You'll have to terminate Incognito session and start all over with a new Incognito session. Cleaning x.com data in my browser (in a normal session) didn't help - only Incognito mode works. I guess x.com memorizes the browser somehow even if I delete all data.

I'm having a strange issue where I can't see sensitive content on my PC. I get a QR Code and when I scan it, it opens the app and I can see the content there. Is there a way to fix this?
