Protect your data by opting out of sharing your content and activity with X's AI search assistant, Grok. This will prevent X from using your posts or user interactions, inputs and results to shape and train their AI models.

Given the real-time nature of X, sharing your location on specific posts is risky and opens you up to stalking, especially if you're located in a smaller town or city.

Control which notifications you receive to reduce noise in your mentions. Accounts that were recently created or that have a default profile photo are more likely to engage in trolling behavior. However, you may miss updates about content you do want to see if it doesn't meet your notification criteria.

If you grant the X mobile app access to your location, you may be targeted with location-specific ads, and it may be easier to include your location in posts in ways you do not intend.

By default, X enables audio and video calls from anyone in your address book or who you follow on X. Following a large number of users increases the likelihood you will receive audio and video harassment or spam from online abusers. This setting is currently only available within the mobile app.

Allowing others to look you up by phone number or email may expose the identity of an anonymous or private account. If you turn off this setting, X will also not use your address book contacts to suggest your account to others. Your friends can still find you by searching for your display name or X handle.

X allows you to see all the places where you are logged in, and selectively log out any that do not seem familiar. If your account has been compromised, you may be able to identify suspicious logins and remove them.

Two-factor authentication is an essential part of keeping your account secure. If your password is compromised, two-factor authentication provides another layer of protection for your account.
