Today I had this doubt: “Can you hide the people you are following on Twitter?”.
Why you should need this?
Today I noticed that a no-follower is reading my Tweets and my curiosity was stimulated. How can he do it? In Twitter settings there is no option for that.
The solution is really simple using lists, I don’t know if it is a Twitter bug or an “hidden” functionality:
- Follow the twitter account.
- Add to a new list. (e.g. named Hidden)
- Mark list as private.
- Unfollow the twitter account
That’s it! You will receive notification in Twiitter timeline, but no one knows that you’re following that account.
great! thanks!
If I unfollow an account, it doesn’t show updates in my timeline anymore. Is it really that way? Maybe you know something to help me? Thanks a lot!
They fixed this feature, now you have to click on the list itself to see that tweets
Thank you!!! Now I can add my pornstars
Does this still work? Am I still technically following them even after I “unfollow” them since they are on my list? So for example, If I follow someone, then add them to a private list, and then unfollow them, will I show up in THEIR followers on their profile?
