Stop Twitter Notifications

This article teaches you how to prevent Twitter from sending you notifications of any kind.

Steps

Using an iPhone or iPad

  1. Open your iPhone's or iPad's Settings. It's the grey gear icon likely found on the Home Screen.
  2. Tap Notifications. This option is toward the top of the Settings page.
  3. Scroll down and tap Twitter. Since apps here are listed in alphabetical order, it'll be in the "T" section of apps on this menu.
  4. Slide Allow Notifications to the "Off" (left) position. This slider is at the top of the screen. Once turned off, it will turn white and you will no longer receive any notifications from Twitter.
    • You also won't see a red icon with a number next to it on the Twitter app icon when you have unopened Twitter notifications.

Using Android

  1. Open your Android device's Settings. You'll find this grey gear icon in the App Drawer.
  2. Scroll down and tap Apps. It's beneath the "Device" heading.
    • If you have a Samsung device, you may have to first tap Device at the top of the screen.
  3. Scroll down and tap Twitter. If you're using a Samsung device, you may have to first tap Application Manager to view a list of your device's apps.
  4. Tap Notifications. It's toward the bottom of the screen.
  5. Slide Block All to the "On" (right) position. It will turn teal, signifying that you will no longer receive notifications or prompts from Twitter.
