Twitter: switch off advertising in the app - how it works
On iOS and Android, Twitter allows a deeper look into your smartphone. Through so-called app tracking, Twitter reads out the apps installed on your smartphone. Based on this data, suitable advertising will then be placed for you. Unlike on Facebook, you can turn off app tracking on Twitter:
- Open the Twitter app and tap your profile picture (Android) in the top left or "Account" (iOS) in the bottom right.
- Tap the gear icon here and select the "Settings".
- There are several options in the "Privacy and Security" category.
- On iOS, the option is called "Tailor ads based on information from advertising partners", on Android, "Customize Twitter using my apps".
- If you deactivate the option, advertising on Twitter will be switched off.
