How to Delete Notifications on Twitter

1. Launch Twitter on your electronic device of choice—phone, tablet, or computer. Tap the bird icon, which is a blue and white bird, either on the home screen of your phone or tablet, or in the app drawer of your device. If you are using a computer, open up a web browser and navigate to https://twitter.com.

• Sign in to your account right now if you haven’t already done so if you haven’t already.

2. To ring the bell, either click or tap the icon. In the mobile app, it is located at the bottom of the screen, while in a browser, it is located on the left side of the page. This will display any notifications you have.

3. Pick either All or Mentions from the drop-down menu. Whereas clicking on Mentions will only see notifications that specifically reference you, clicking on All will display all notifications.

4. To do this, click the gear symbol. It is located in the upper right hand corner.

5. Pick a type of filter to use. You have 3 options:

• This filter mutes low-quality notifications, such as duplicate tweets, so you don’t have to wade through them. To choose this option, just click the checkbox.
• Advanced filters provide you the ability to specify which categories of accounts, such as new accounts or users you don’t follow, should be filtered out of your feed. To pick filters, tap this item, then check the box next to it.
• Terms that are muted allow you to block out notifications for tweets that contain certain words that you specify. To silence a word, either click or tap the plus sign that may be found in the bottom right corner of the app (this is in the top right on the website).
