To recover your Twitter account after forgetting your password, go to the Twitter login page and click on “Forgot password?” Enter your email address or phone number linked to your account. Twitter will then send you a link to reset your password. Follow the instructions in the email or SMS, create a new password, and log in. If you’re unable to access your registered email or phone, you may need to follow additional verification steps provided by Twitter.

If your account has been hacked, immediately try to regain access by following the password recovery process. Once you regain access, change your password and enable two-factor authentication for added security. Review your account settings and check for any unauthorized changes, such as altered email addresses or sent tweets that you didn’t post. If you cannot access your account, report it to Twitter through their support page, providing as much information as possible about the issue.

Yes, you can change your username, also known as your Twitter handle, directly from the app. Go to your profile settings, select “Edit profile,” and tap on the username field. Enter your desired new username (it must be unique), and if it’s available, save the changes. Keep in mind that changing your username does not affect your followers, but you’ll need to inform them of the change if they search for you using your old handle.

To manage notifications for mentions and retweets, open the Twitter app and go to your profile. Tap on “Settings and privacy,” then select “Notifications.” Here, you can customize how you receive notifications for various activities, including mentions and retweets. You can choose to receive alerts via push notifications, SMS, or email, and even set preferences for who can notify you based on your follower settings.

Twitter Lists are a powerful feature that allows you to curate a collection of accounts for easier monitoring. To create a list, navigate to your profile and select “Lists” from the menu. Tap on “Create a List,” give it a name and description, and choose whether it will be public or private. Once created, you can add accounts to your list by visiting their profiles, clicking on the three dots icon, and selecting “Add/remove from Lists.” This helps you organize content according to your interests.

Muting or blocking someone on Twitter can help manage your interactions. To mute an account, go to their profile, click on the three-dot icon, and select “Mute.” This will stop you from receiving notifications from them without unfollowing. To block an account, go to the same menu and select “Block.” Blocking prevents them from seeing your tweets, following you, or interacting with your account.

While the Twitter app doesn¡¯t offer built-in tweet scheduling, you can use external tools like TweetDeck or Buffer for this purpose. These platforms allow you to compose tweets ahead of time and set specific times for them to be posted to your Twitter account. Just connect your Twitter profile to the scheduling tool of your choice, draft your tweet, choose the date and time, and let the service handle the posting.

If you encounter inappropriate content on Twitter, you have the option to report it. Tap on the tweet containing the offensive content, select the three dots icon, then choose “Report Tweet.” Follow the prompts to specify the reason for reporting, such as harassment, spam, or graphic content. Twitter reviews reports and takes action when necessary, helping maintain a safe environment for all users.
