Getting mentioned on Twitter is a great way to keep track of interesting things. Whenever your friends mention you in their Tweets, you can easily check their suggestions.
But sometimes the mentions can be too overwhelming. Let’s say you responded to someone else, but the conversation continued for hours or even days. Twitter will send you a notification because you were mentioned.
Fortunately, you can remove yourself from Twitter mentions. This article will show you how to silence hyperactive notifications and give you some helpful tips along the way.
How to delete Twitter mentions
You can remove yourself from conversations or block a user who keeps tagging you in Tweets. We’ll show you how.
Walk away from the conversation
If you remove yourself from a conversation, your username will be removed and further notifications will be silenced. Here’s what you should do:
- Open Twitter and tap the Notification icon on the left.

- Click on Mentions at the top of the notification window.

- Locate the conversation you want to delete. Next, tap the three dots in the top right corner.

- Click Leave this conversation.

You will now no longer receive notifications for this conversation. But what can you do if someone keeps mentioning your username? We can show you how to use some third-party services to manage spam, Tweets, and more.
Use a third-party service
Twitter has many moderation options for its users. But sometimes it’s a little easier with a third-party service. If you use Twitter frequently and mentions continue to plague your account, you can find a service to better monitor Tweets.
We often use circular boom because it is reliable, easy to use and reliable, so we will use it in our example. Here’s what you should do:
- Open Twitter in your browser. Then open a new tab and navigate to circular boom.

- Let Circleboom sync with your Twitter account. Then, choose one of the four boxes on the right to remove any hyperactive or fake friends who keep mentioning you.

- Play the twitter icon on the left side to access more options.

- Click on Delete tweets either Delete RT delete any Tweet or Retweet that is related to the Mentions.

Deleting spam Tweets, Retweets, and accounts is a great way to reduce unwanted notifications and mentions. However, there is still more you can do.
Block sender
If you think a person is not worth your attention on Twitter, you can use the “Block” option. This will basically remove all of their Tweets from your feed, both good and bad.
Please note that after you block someone on Twitter, you will no longer be able to message them or follow their account. Additionally, you will no longer receive new notifications from this user on your Twitter account.
To block a user, follow the steps below:
- Open your Twitter app.

- Tap on the “Bell” icon at the bottom of the screen.

- Select the “Mentions” tab at the top of the screen.

- Locate the mention you want to remove from your list and tap the “three dots icon” next to the sender’s name.

- Tap on the “Block @username” option.

- A pop-up notification will appear. Confirm your action by choosing the “Block” button.

Once you do this, all of their Tweets will immediately disappear from your Twitter account.

Report tweets or users
Sometimes you may receive dozens of Tweets mentioning you. These are probably all spam, so it’s okay to report them. If someone acts abusively towards you or even becomes potentially threatening, it is definitely something you should report.
Here’s how to report Tweets.
- First, touch the “Bell” icon in your Twitter app.

- Go to the “Mentions” and locate the Tweet you want to report.

- Play the “three dots icon“ next to the sender’s name.

- Tap “Report Tweet.”

- Now select one of the reasons why you want to report this. There are five options:

- Follow the instructions for your chosen option above.
- Select “Made” and the reporting process will be complete.

Unwanted mentions removed
Hopefully, these recommendations will help you get rid of unwanted mentions. If you want to block or report malicious users and their Tweets, think twice before doing so. While you won’t completely remove them from Twitter, you can at least make these mentions disappear from your feed.
