How to make Twitter account private?

Making your Twitter account private, also known as making your tweets protected, means that your posts will only be visible to people who follow you. In addition, whenever new people would want to follow your private account, you'll need to manually approve or reject their request, giving you greater control over your data.

The process of privating your account is a little different depending on your chosen platform. Here's how it works:
