Many use Twitter solely to read, while others use it to communicate their thoughts. For example, professional tennis player Serena Williams uses Twitter to keep up with the latest news from Green Day, her favorite band. While Snoop Dog, the rapper, enjoys getting baking tips from Martha Stewart’s everyday recipes when he wakes up in the morning. These are celebrities whose profiles are easily accessible. However, what about those accounts that are private? Here is a detailed guide on how to see private Twitter accounts.
Twitter Privacy Policy
Twitter is an app that gives you privacy and thus the power to manage your data. A private Twitter account is similar to a private Facebook page, limiting who can view your posts to only your friends (or selected people). You may want to create an account to connect privately with only a few of your close friends and relatives. In this case, you will benefit from using a personal account. Simple privacy options on Twitter that come in handy let you control who can see your Twitter account and what they can see.
How To See Private Twitter Accounts?
This article will give you three ways to see private Twitter accounts.
Method #1: Follow a Private Account
Since Twitter’s privacy policy prohibits anyone other than followers from viewing private tweets from a private account, sending a follow request to the person is the most efficient method to view a private Twitter account (Assuming the other party accepts the request.). After sending the request, you have to wait for the person to accept it, and you can view their activities. But there is a good chance that the person you want to follow doesn’t accept your request. Below are some other methods you can try.
Method #2: Google Search Cache
If the person whose private account you want to view has their cache on, you can view their tweets via Google because Google search allows cached tweets to appear on Google images. Most people turn on Google cache because it makes them more searchable, allows them to reach a larger audience, and gain more followers. You can find a tweet through Google image search with a name, the location that might have been mentioned in the tweet, any keyword, or any links they might have included. Here is what you can do to view a private account through Google:
Method #3: Create a Fake Account
If non of the methods above worked, you could try creating a fake Twitter account and request to follow the person of interest. For this method to succeed, it is better to create an account with the name of the person’s friend. It drastically increases the chances of getting your request accepted.
How To Create a Fake Twitter Account?
Creating a fake Twitter account is the same as creating a normal one. You just need to fill in the details with phony information. Here is how to create a fake Twitter account:
Final Thoughts
So, you can view private tweets using a Google cache or creating a fake Twitter account and requesting to follow the person whose tweets you are after. But a more accessible and reliable option would be sending a follow request. This way, you can see private tweets on Twitter without breaking any rules.
