Only thing that works is find your other apple products you own like pod or pad or phone and open the Twitter app on it and it will clear the notification on all your Twitter apps. Lol it’s cause their sync and for whatever reason gets confused sometimes. This happened a lot on my phone that I use all the time. I would get on my iPad and after clicking on my Twitter app and then notifications it would make my phone clear up.

There may be notifications in a different Twitter profile (on the “Me” section, click the button with the two people on it). You could try signing out and signing in again, checking your notification center or reinstalling the app.

Answer by ChatGPT - My Twitter Says I Have Notifications, But I Don’t
If your Twitter account is showing that you have notifications, but you don't see any new notifications or interactions when you check, there are several possible reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
-
Refresh the Page: Sometimes, notifications can be delayed or not load correctly. Try refreshing your Twitter feed to see if the notifications appear.
-
Check Different Devices or Browsers: Access your Twitter account from a different device or web browser to see if the notifications appear there. This will help determine if the issue is specific to one device or browser.
-
Log Out and Log Back In: Sometimes, logging out of your Twitter account and then logging back in can resolve notification issues.
-
Check for Suspended or Restricted Account: If your Twitter account is restricted or suspended, you may not receive notifications. Make sure your account is in good standing with Twitter's policies.
-
Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Cached data in your browser may sometimes cause display issues. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies and then log back into Twitter.
-
Update the Twitter App: If you are using the Twitter mobile app, make sure it is updated to the latest version. Outdated apps may have bugs that can cause notification issues.
-
Privacy Settings: Check your Twitter account's privacy settings. If your account is set to "protected" (only approved followers can see your tweets), it can affect notifications for interactions with users who are not approved followers.
-
Muted or Blocked Accounts: Check if you've accidentally muted or blocked accounts that are trying to interact with you. These actions can prevent you from seeing notifications related to those accounts.
-
Notification Filters: Twitter allows you to filter your notifications. Make sure you haven't set any filters that could be hiding certain types of notifications.
-
Check Direct Messages: Sometimes, new messages in your Direct Messages inbox can trigger notifications. Even if you don't have new tweets or mentions, you might have unread direct messages.
-
Contact Twitter Support: If none of the above solutions work and you continue to experience issues with notifications, you may want to contact Twitter Support for assistance. They can help troubleshoot account-specific problems.
-
Temporary Glitch: Sometimes, Twitter may experience temporary glitches that affect notifications. In such cases, the issue may resolve itself after a while.
Keep in mind that Twitter's interface and settings may change over time, so the specific steps and options mentioned above might be subject to updates. If the issue persists and none of the troubleshooting steps resolve it, reaching out to Twitter Support is likely your best course of action.
