Twitter is accessible without a login.
Many Twitter features may be used without a Twitter account, while some need logging in.
The following Twitter features are inaccessible without an account:
Using the accounts to build a timeline
- owning and sending tweets
- Leaving comments on, retweeting, and liking tweets
- Filtering the tweets on a person’s profile using the Media and Likes tabs
- Remember that Twitter used to have a function that allowed you to receive tweets by SMS. This can no longer be done, thus there is no practical method to use Twitter without checking in.
Additionally, you cannot use the Twitter app for Android or iPhone without having an account since it prompts you to sign in as soon as you launch it. However, you may use a mobile browser to access many of the below-mentioned suggestions on your phone instead. Simply launch Twitter on Chrome, Safari, or another browser, and if you’re already logged in, use an incognito window.
Without logging in, the Twitter homepage on a desktop browser prompts you to do so before letting you proceed. We’ll demonstrate other URLs that enable you to circumvent this, nevertheless.

View Tweets from a Specific User without Creating an Account
You can read anyone’s tweets on Twitter without having to create an account; all you have to do is go to their profile page. However, keep in mind that if someone has set their account to private, you won’t be able to read their profile. You can’t ask to follow someone if you don’t have an account.
As previously noted, you can look up a user on Twitter by name or search for their profile on Google. You should be able to locate their account by just searching for “[person] Twitter.”

Since hardly everyone uses their real name for their Twitter account, searching on Google is frequently simpler than searching on Twitter. Thus, a Google search is likely to provide more useful results.
When you discover the user’s Twitter account, you may save that page for future reference. If RSS is more your style, you may make a feed from a Twitter page using RSS.app.
Otherwise, you may access a profile page for an account by clicking on it anywhere on Twitter. It is now simple to view additional content from accounts that attract your attention.
Use Twitter Lists to Follow Multiple Accounts at Once
On Twitter, you are not confined to following specific accounts. Twitter Lists are groupings of several accounts that let you view tweets from numerous users at once. These also function even if you are not logged in.
You can use them to follow Twitter communities that share your interests. The @Verified account on Twitter, for instance, has a list of Olympians.
Of course, you can only follow public lists without an account. Private lists are not accessible. Twitter lets you search for lists if you’re logged in, but finding them without an account is more difficult. To find Twitter lists you’ll like, use ScoutZen’s search feature.
