If you are a Twitter user , you may be one of those who suffer the notifications that the app sends to your email. But the annoyance does not stop there, since many times we receive notifications on our smartphone that we consider that the application could save them. Well, if you want to end them, then we show you what you must do to deactivate all those that you yourself consider.
It may be the case that we are people who do not like to be receiving notifications continuously or that when we enter the mobile we see how we have many to attend to. One of the applications that can give us the most “headaches” in this regard is Twitter, but fortunately we have a way of limiting the information that this app presents to us.
Disable notifications on our mobile
Twitter may be saturating our notifications either because we have a new follower, because someone we know has published, because someone has not made a retweet or because we have received a “like”, among other things.
Android phone
If we have an Android mobile and we do not want to continue receiving all this information as notifications, what we must do is deactivate them as follows.
- We open Twitter and click on the Menu key that is none other than the three vertical stripes in the upper left part of the screen.
- Now click on Settings and privacy .
- Then we click on Notifications and there we will find all the types of notifications that are on the phone. Now is the time for everyone to choose to deactivate or leave the ones they want activated. We can choose not to receive any or to choose those that we do not want to be notified any more, leaving some that we find interesting. Among the types of notifications that we can choose to receive or not, are:
- Mentions of your account (including photos in which you are tagged).
- Answers.
- RT of your Tweets.
- I like it.
- New followers.
- Direct messages.
- Your contacts who joined Twitter.
- Recommendations.
- Featured.
- News.
- Moments
- Crisis and emergency alerts.
- Presentation of new features.
- Tweets notifications from the accounts you follow.
IOS terminal
If you have an iPhone you can also manage the notifications as best suits you to get only those that are worth it.
To modify push notifications:
- In the menu at the top, click on the icon of our profile .
- Next we select Settings and privacy .
- Now click on Notifications and then on Push Notifications. Now is the time to select only those types of notifications that we want to receive.
Notifications from an account that we follow:
- We return to the profile of our account and click on Notification.
- Now we can choose in All Tweets or Only Tweets with live video , this is a lesson for each.
Twitter notifications from the accounts we follow:
- In the account profile, click on the highlighted notification icon to then select None .
Disable email notifications
Twitter also sends us notifications to our email, something that can be really stressful if there are many every day and on a continuous basis. Therefore, if you want to stop receiving these emails, you just have to follow these simple steps.
- We open our Twitter account from our computer, as this will make it easier for us.
- Now we click on the icon with three dots that appears on the left side of the screen and in the new window we must click on Settings and privacy .
- Next we must click on Notifications.
- Now we will see two options and this time we have to click on Preferences .
- At this time we will see the option that interests us in this case, Notifications by mail . Therefore, we click on it and now all the options or settings on this type of notifications will be loaded.
- The first thing we are going to find is a switch or button that allows us to activate or deactivate Email Notifications. If we want to get rid of the annoying Twitter email notifications completely, all we have to do is click on the Deactivate button in this first option that we are telling you about.
- If, on the contrary, we only want to get rid of some of these options, we must mark or unmark each of them to our liking.
- First, we will see the option Relating to you and your Tweets. Thanks to this option, we will be able to choose whether we receive an email notification when we have new Notifications, Direct Messages, Story Tweets, a selection either daily, weekly, or periodically of Featured Stories and Tweets, as well as a performance update. of our tweets.
- There is a second option called From Twitter where we can choose between:
- News on Twitter feature and product updates.
- Tips to make the most of Twitter, Things you missed since your last login to Twitter.
- News from Twitter about its partners’ products and other third-party services.
- Participation in Twitter research surveys.
- Suggestions on recommended accounts.
- Suggestions based on the accounts you recently started to follow.
- Tips on Twitter business products.
In any case, we have chosen what we have chosen, once we have managed the notifications, we have to click on the Save Changes button that is displayed at the bottom of the page for the changes to take effect.
Finally, we have to see the notifications by filters, something that can also be configured by doing the following:
- We open our Twitter account from our PC whatever is more comfortable for us.
- We press the icon with three points at the bottom of the left side of the screen and then we enter Settings and privacy .
- Now we must click on Notifications.
- Of the two options we have, this time we enter Filters .
- Here we can have the Quality filter option activated , which is used to exclude automated content, something that will not affect the accounts we follow. But we also tend to be able to enter Silenced Notifications , where it allows us to choose to silence the following notifications.
- Those we do not follow.
- Those who don’t follow us.
- Those who have a new account.
- Those who use a default profile photo.
- Those who did not confirm their email.
- All those who did not confirm their phone number.
