How to Turn off Topic Suggestions and Interests on Twitter?

Twitter is a popular social media platform where users love to share their thoughts, ideas, and information in the form of short posts known as tweets. Additionally, Twitter enables users to interact with people and communities that share their interests. As you continue to use it, you could find that you start to notice a lot of suggestions directed toward you, such as Follow Topics and Suggestions on your Twitter Feeds. These types of suggestions are common on Facebook and Instagram as well.

This suggestion may be useful to some people, but some people do not like it. If you are one of those people, this article will help you Turn off Topic Suggestions and Interests on Twitter.

Before we continue, I want to make it perfectly clear that you are unable to permanently disable all of the "Follow Topic" posts. Here we will discuss how to minimize those topic suggestions.

What Follow Topic and Interest is actually doing?

Twitter displays posts as "Follow Topic" and "Interest" based on content that is relevant to you. This assists Twitter in better understanding you. These topic suggestions are provided for free and no charge is applied to you and invite you to check them out. They simply desire your attention and prolonged interaction with the apps.

What influences Twitter Suggested Tweets and Topic?

1 People Who Interacted with the Post: The recent interactions(like, follow, comments, tweets) of your friends with a post, which Twitter uses to determine whether or not to suggest that you check out the respective posts. 

2. As a result of your most recent engagement, Twitter may recommend that you read other people's posts that are connected to a topic you have recently engaged with.

Suppose you are interested in Bikes; in that case, they might recommend some other bikes to you.

3 Location: Instagram may recommend content to you based on where you are right now and what other people in your area are engaging with on the platform.

If you don't want to be tracked and don't want those suggestions, you can disable it by doing the following.
