If you’re looking to create a private twitter account, there are a few things you’ll need to do. First, you’ll need to create a new twitter account using a different email address than the one you used for your public account. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to go into the settings for your new account and change the account type to “private.” This will ensure that only people who you approve can follow you and see your tweets.
Once you’ve made your account private, you may want to consider creating a list of people who you want to be able to follow you. This way, you can control who has access to your tweets and what information they can see. You can also add people to this list who you don’t want to be able to follow you, such as ex-friends or family members.
