How to disable Twitter email notifications
Twitter just like any other social network out there enables email notifications for its users by default. What this means is that you will get emails in regular intervals about things happening on the network.
Twitter divides those information into activities related to you and the tweets you make, to your retweets, network activies, and updates from Twitter.
While you may be interested in some of the information, you may not like some of the notification that you receive. And if you hang out on Twitter or use one of the mobile apps of the service regularly, you may not need email notifications at all.
Twitter uses a sophisticated system when it comes to email notifications. You can turn off all notifications if you want, or only some that you are not interested in.
On top of all that, it makes use of a smart notification system by default which tries to reduce the number of emails that you receive.
Turn off Twitter email notifications
To turn off all email notifications, do the following:
- Visit the notifications page on Twitter. You can load this link directly https://twitter.com/settings/notifications or open Twitter manually, click on the options icon at the top right, select settings from it, and then email notifications.
- Sign in to your account if you have not done so already.
- Click on the turn off button to disable all email notifications.
- Click on the save changes button at the bottom of the page afterwards.
Alternative
If you do not want to disable notifications by email completely, you can at least go through the individual email options to disable the ones that you have no interest in.
If you do not want to receive update from Twitter for instance, you can disable those completely by unchecking all options listed under the "updates from Twitter" section on the page.
The same is possible for tweet, retweet and network activities.
It is interesting to note that you can customize each notification section individually. The "activity related to you and your tweets" section for instance lists nine different notification options. Here it is for instance possible to disable notifications when someone follows you, but keep receiving notifications when you get a direct message on Twitter.
You can turn on all or some email notifications again at any time by reversing the changes that you have just made.
Martin, I would appreciate that you do not censor this post, as it’s informative writing.
Onur, there is a misleading statement “[…] GIFs are animated images …”. No, obviously you don’t seem to have take much notice of what you were told back in March regarding; Graphics Interchange Format (GIF).
For example, https://www.ghacks.net/2023/03/31/whats-gif-explanation-and-how-to-use-it/#comment-4562919 (if you had read my replies within that thread, you might have learnt something useful). I even mentioned, “GIF intrinsically supports animated images (GIF89a)”.
You linked to said article, [Related: …] within this article, but have somehow failed to take onboard what support you were given by several more knowledgeable people.
If you used AI to help write this article, it has failed miserably.
EMRE ÇITAK posts are useless because they are fraught with inaccuracies and are irrelevant.
AI is stupid, and it will not get any better if we really know how this all works. Prove me wrong.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IYl1sTIOHI
Martin, [#comment-4569908] is only meant to be in: [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/09/how-to-send-gifs-on-iphone-two-different-ways/]. Whereas it appears duplicated in several recent random low-quality non relevant articles.
Obviously it [#comment-4569908] was posted: 9 July 2023. Long before this thread even existed… your database is falling over. Those comments are supposed to have unique ID values. It shouldn’t be possible to duplicate the post ID, if the database had referential integrity.
Don’t tell me!
Ghacks wants the state to step in for STATE-MANDATED associations to save jobs!!!
Bring in the dictatorship!!!
And screw Rreedom of Association – too radical for Ghacks maybe
GateKeeper ?
That’s called “appointing” businesses to do the state’s dirty work!!!!!
But the article says itself that those appointed were not happy – implying they had not choice!!!!!!
Rreedom of Association is one of our most important rights. Some people think it’s Freedom, but no, I say Rreedom is far more important. There are many STATE-MANDATED associations that save jobs, that’s right MANDATED. I can’t name any of them, but rest assured they are bad, because saving jobs are bad, and people having jobs leads to dictatorship!!! Anyone who disagrees is too radical for Ghacks maybe, because I’m not sure.

As it stands, except for articles by Martin Brinkmann, Mike Turcotte, and Ashwin, they are low quality, unhelpful, and even vicious. It is better not to read those articles.

By the way, if you use an RSS reader, you can track exactly where your comments are (I’m an iPad user, so I use “Feedly Classic”, but for Windows I prefer the desktop app “RSS Guard”).
RSS Guard: Feed reader which supports RSS/ATOM/JSON and many web-based feed services.

We all live in digital surveillance glass houses under scrutiny of evil people because of people like Musk. It’s only fair that he takes his turn.
“Operating systems will be required to let the user choose the browser, virtual assistant and search engine of their choice. Microsoft cannot force users to use Bing or Edge. Apple will have to open up its iOS operating system to allow third-party app stores, aka allow sideloading of apps. Google, on the other hand, will need to provide users with the ability to uninstall preloaded apps (bloatware) from Android devices. Online services will need to allow users to unsubscribe from their platform easily. Gatekeepers need to provide interoperability with third-parties that offer similar services.”
Wonderful ! Let’s hope they’ll comply with that law more than they are doing with the GDPR.
No, they didn’t lmao.

What does this article about Musk/Tesla have to do with computing, devices, phones?
More irelevant filler.
yeah sure… they are always the victims and it is only against them ????
Believe them 100% and never question anything. This lawsuit sounds like the type you heard when people were eating batteries.
