How to Hide Replies on X
Not every reply deserves the spotlight.
If you’ve spent any time posting on X (formerly Twitter), you’ve probably seen how quickly a conversation can go off the rails. Maybe you shared a personal opinion or announced a product, only to have the replies fill up with spam, sarcasm, or comments that completely miss the point.
It happens more often than it should, and it can make social media feel less like a conversation and more like crowd control. That’s why features like hiding replies are so useful. They don’t erase opinions, but they give you a way to keep the main thread on track without deleting anything or blocking users outright.
Now, let me walk you through how to hide replies on X.
Steps to Hide Replies on X
Step 1: Find the specific reply to your tweet/post that you wish to hide and click the three dots next to it
Step 2: From the menu that appears, choose the "Hide reply" option
Step 3: You'll be prompted to confirm your choice. Select "Hide reply" again to proceed. Hence, the reply will no longer appear under your post or timeline
Conclusion
Hiding replies on X is a simple yet powerful way to keep your posts focused and your conversations productive.
Whether you’re dealing with off-topic comments, spam, or replies that just don’t add value, this feature helps you maintain control without resorting to blocking or deleting. It’s not about silencing disagreement—it's about creating a space where meaningful interaction can happen.
