Can You Turn Public Clapper into Private Directly?
No, you can’t convert your public Clapper account into private directly since there is no such feature available.
But you can change your account settings of followers & following, DM, comments, and voice messages that will somehow give privilege to a private profile.
For example, hiding your followers or following where people can’t see them, shutting down messages from people, and disabling comments in your posts are the factors why people choose to private their accounts.
So, you can’t do it directly but there is an indirect way that works similarly.
3 Different Options to Make Your Clapper Account Private
Under this topic, we will look after the three major privacy settings of Clapper to keep it personal.
1. Turn off Direct Messages in Clapper
When someone visits your profile they can send you a new chat using the yellow ‘Message’ button under your bio.
If the message option is not disabled then you will keep getting new messages over time in your inbox.
So, make it unknown by hiding the message button from your profile.
- Go to your profile area.
- Tap on the three horizontal lines from the top right.
- Select the “Privacy & Safety” button.
- Tap on the “Direct Messages” option.
- Here you can either choose the ‘Friends’ or ‘No one’ option based on your needs.
- Do the same to ‘Receive Pics & Videos’ and ‘Receive Voice’ options.
If you need to talk with your friends or followers then simply select only ‘Friends’ so that only people you know can send you a message.

2. Disable Clapper Comment Section
When you publish content then people have the right to leave a comment on your videos.
But things can be different if someone comments abusive, nudity, sexual, or bullying things to lower your status on Clapper.
So, you can prevent such a thing from happening by simply hiding the comment box.
- Go to your Clapper profile.
- Open the settings from three lines from the right side.
- Choose the “Privacy & Safety”.
- Tap on the “Comment Management” option.
- Pick the “No one” option.
However, if you do want to receive comments but only filter out the spam, abusive or offensive ones then enable the “Comment Filters” toggle button.
3. Private Your Clapper Followers and Following List
I personally don’t like people seeing my following list on social media apps.
There can be tons of secret or personal accounts to whom I might be following and want to keep it secret forever.
So, if you also want the same then here is the one thing you have to do.
- Open your Clapper profile area.
- Open the account settings.
- Tap on the “Privacy and Safety” section.
- Select “Following & Followers List”.
- Choose the “No One” option.
In this way, people can’t see your Clapper followers as well as followers’ accounts. But they can see the numbers of it.
