You may have let certain apps access your Twitter account and it is worth taking an inventory of them to possibly disconnect the ones you don’t use.
Did you know that some apps have access to your Twitter account? It is enough to have chosen the option “Sign in with Twitter” once in an app or even on a website, as it also happens with Facebook and Google. If you have forgotten which programs are concerned or no longer use them, it is possible to take stock of them, or even clean up the social network. Here’s the procedure to follow :
With your computer and a web browser
- Log in to Twitter, then click on your account icon and select Settings and privacy from the drop-down list.
- Then click on Applications in the left column.
- The applications that connect to Twitter are then displayed with their permissions (read, write, private messages).
- If an application in the list appears suspicious or simply useless, click on the button Revoke access to disconnect her from your Twitter account.
With the Twitter mobile app
- Tap on your account icon, then tap Settings and privacy from the drop-down list. Then tap on Privacy and Security, then on See my Twitter data.
- Tap on Apps and devices, then on Connected Apps. The list of applications that use your Twitter account is then displayed on the screen.
- To remove access to Twitter, tap the app you think doesn’t belong in this list, then tap Revoke access.
