Introduction
By default, Twitter has all of its email notifications enabled. You’ll get an email for new notifications, for direct messages, top tweets and stories, and more. And if you’re active on Twitter, this can take over your email inbox. Thankfully, it’s easy to reign in the chaos and stop or turn off Twitter email notifications. In this article I’ll show you how to turn off or stop Twitter email notifications through either the Twitter mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices, or the Twitter.com website. Examples of all instructions in the steps can be seen in both the YouTube video above and the image collection located beneath the steps.
