[Android] Where is the Interests setting on X (Twitter)? Detailed guide

This article explains how to display the [Interests] settings on X (Twitter) for Android.
What is [Interests]?
Social media like X (Twitter) have a recommendations timeline that shows posts likely to interest each user.
X has a feature called [Interests] that lists topics likely to interest you based on your activity.
[Interests] is set automatically based on your activity, but you can remove or add topics manually.
The [Interests] settings are used for the recommendations timeline and personalized ads.
X’s recent timeline actively uses AI “Grok,” developed by X’s parent company xAI, and machine learning, so the impact of [Interests] settings on the timeline has decreased.

Where are the [Interests] settings in the Android X app?
On the web version of X, you can view [Interests] under [Settings and privacy] > [Privacy and safety] > [Content you see] > [Interests].
However, in the Android X app, you won’t find the same settings in the same place.
So where are the [Interests] settings on Android?
In the Android version of X, the [Interests] settings exist but are hidden.
On your Android smartphone with the X app installed, tap the following link:
Tapping it will launch the hidden settings in the X app.
Tap [Interests and ads data] > [Interests from X] in that order.
You will then see the same [Interests] settings as on the web version, so check or uncheck items as needed.
Conclusion
We explained how to display the [Interests] settings in the Android X app.
On the web version, you can easily display the [Interests] settings, but in the Android app they are hidden, so you need to open them from a link.
Although [Interests] has a smaller impact on the recommendations timeline, refer to this article if you are concerned.

I've been using JavaScript more than my native language since birth. I am nowhere and everywhere on the internet.
I build web apps and browser extensions in TypeScript as a web frontend programmer. I released Shadowban Scanner, a tool that detects shadowbans on X, and Restore Link Card, a tool that brings back link cards. Media outlets in Japan and abroad covered both tools. For iGEM 2023, I built the Wiki for Team Japan-United and helped the team win the Grand Prize. On my blog, I cover news about X and social media, test and troubleshoot bugs, and share frontend development insights.
