Sometimes mentions in tweets can become unwanted or lead to a negative experience. But Twitter offers a number of features to manage these mentions and ensure a more comfortable social media experience.

Removing Twitter mentions is the process of removing tweets or notifications that contain mentions of your @username. When someone mentions you in a tweet, you are notified and the tweet appears in your Mentions tab. However, sometimes can be unwanted and incorrect mentions. In such cases, Twitter’s Remove Mentions feature allows you to eliminate those mentions.

We’ll also look at other important features, such as blocking users and reporting tweets in which you have been tagged.

What to do to remove mentions from Twitter using the mobile app?

To remove mentions from your Twitter account using the mobile app, you can follow these steps:

• Launch the Twitter app on your mobile device.

What to do to remove mentions from Twitter using the desktop?

To remove mentions from your account using the desktop version of Twitter, you can follow these steps:

If you want to completely hide a mention, you may need to consider blocking or muting the user who mentioned you.
