Get Push Notifications for a User's Tweets on Twitter for iPhone
Sometimes, just getting notifications of your own retweets and mentions just aren't enough on Twitter, to get a really good feel of the service. If you really enjoy reading someone else's tweets, and own an iPhone, try this article to get the tweets of another user.
Steps
- Power on and unlock your device. Enter your pin (if one is required.)
- Download and install the Twitter app for iPhone. Use the Apple AppStore.
- Open the app.
- Login to your Twitter account.
- Prepare your device to receive the push notifications for these tweets from users.
- Go to the Me tab.
- Tap the Gears icon, tap settings.
- Locate the option for Notifications. Tap on the option that displays your name along with your username along side the @ symbol that is displayed underneath the "Accounts" label. Tap the "Mobile notifications" option under the "Notifications" label.
- Tap the Tweets option.
- Slide the slider labelled Tweets so it is listed as "on"
- Go back to find the user you'd like to view the tweets of on your device.
- Follow a User on Twitter.
- Find the Person icon for the user you'd like to assign notifications for. Tap the "Person icon". The person icon should be located underneath the area for the total number of tweets the user has sent.
- Tap the Turn on Notifications button.
- Wait for the user to Tweet. You'll receive the tweet notification as a new line on your device as a now mobile notification item in Notification Center, either through a banner (as was set in Settings app) or through the single notification button. Tap it to show the tweet.
- Ensure that Twitter notifications are enabled in Settings. Your iPhone may be preventing Twitter from displaying the notifications.
- Open the Settings app.
- Select "Notifications".
- Select Twitter from the list.
- Check that the "Allow Notifications" slider is toggled on.
Tips
- Since the two devices work asynchronously to show notifications, you can set up one to setup notifications and not the other or you can set up both for notification. It is your choice.
- You can also turn on new users tweet streams for push notifications, right from the Twitter PC web page.
