What Happens When You Make Your Twitter Account Private?

What are Private Twitter accounts?
Private Twitter accounts are accounts that have their tweets protected, which means that only approved followers can see and interact with the user's tweets. In order to follow a private Twitter account, a user must send a follow request to the account owner, who can then approve or deny the request. Private accounts are different from public accounts, which allow anyone on Twitter to see and interact with the user's tweets. Private accounts are often used by individuals who want to have more control over who can see and interact with their tweets, or by businesses and organizations that want to limit access to their content to a specific audience.
Can People See If You Tweet From a Private Account?
Yes, people can see if you tweet from a private account, but only if they are one of your approved followers. When you tweet from a private account, your tweet will appear in the timelines of your approved followers, and they will be able to see your tweet and interact with it. However, anyone who is not one of your approved followers will not be able to see your tweet in their timeline or search results, and will not be able to retweet, like, or reply to your tweet. In this way, private accounts allow users to control who can see and interact with their tweets.
