If I update Twitter, will my phone number be forcibly linked?

After applying Twitter's new update, which no longer crops vertically long images horizontally, some have said that it is better to check the settings for the "Privacy and Security" item.

The hot topic is the settings related to "findability and contacts". It is a feature that makes it easier for users to connect with each other by using the email address and phone number included in the user's contact information to find the account. You can switch the settings for each email address and phone number.

These features have existed for a long time, and currently both are enabled by default when you create a new account, so it is possible that they have been enabled without you noticing. The account will be known by users who are known but not connected on Twitter. Not limited to this case, unexpected settings may be enabled by default, so it is better to check the entire settings once when you start using tools and services.

In addition, in the environment of the editorial department, we could not confirm that the setting was forcibly changed with this update, but some users said that it was switched to effective after the latest update. ing.
