Why are my twitter notifications not working
Are your Twitter (X) notifications suddenly not working—no alerts for likes, retweets, or DMs? You’re not alone. A growing number of users have reported this issue in the past few hours.
Here’s everything you need to know, including what’s causing it and what you can do about it.
🛠️ What’s Causing the Problem?
The issue is due to a bug on Twitter’s end, affecting both desktop and mobile users. This glitch is preventing real-time push notifications and in-app alerts from being delivered.
🔥 You’re Not Alone
Thousands of users have taken to platforms like Reddit and X itself to report the problem. Since this is not related to your settings or account, you don’t need to panic.
✅ How to Fix Twitter Notifications Not Working
Since the root cause is a temporary bug, the best solution is to wait at least 24 hours as the X team is likely already working on a fix behind the scenes.
However, here are steps you can try after 24 hours if the issue hasn’t resolved:
💻 For Desktop Users:
- Close and reopen your browser to refresh your session.
- Make sure you are logged into your X account again and that notifications are enabled in your browser settings.
📱 For Mobile App Users:
- Logout of the app.
- Wait a few seconds, then log back in to refresh your session.
- Ensure that app notifications are enabled in your phone’s settings.
🧠 Tip: No need to uninstall the app—this is a server-side bug, not a device-specific problem.
📌 Final Thoughts
This issue is frustrating, but it’s temporary. Most users will see their notifications restored within a day as the X team works on a fix. If you’re affected, waiting it out and refreshing your session after 24 hours is currently the best course of action.
