If you use Twitter, you’ll be aware that the service is constantly suggesting things for you to search for. It does this by showing a list of suggestions when you end your search phrase with an asterisk (*). In other words, if you search for something on Twitter and add the asterisk at the end, like this: ‘this is my search’*, then the site will show you a list of options to choose from next time. This can be useful if you know exactly what you want to search for and can’t think of how to spell it. However, it can also become annoying if you frequently use Twitter as a way to browse new content and find new people or things that interest you. If that’s the case, read on to learn how to clear your Twitter search suggestions so they don’t continue cluttering up your feed.
How To Clear Twitter Search Suggestions
Clear your Twitter Search Suggestions
If you don’t want to see Twitter’s suggestions in your feed, the simplest way to clear them is to log into Twitter and go to ‘Settings and Privacy. Here you’ll see an option that says, ‘Clear All Search History’. Click this, and all of your Twitter search suggestions will be cleared and won’t show up again. With this method, you’ll only clear Twitter’s suggestions. That is, only the suggestions that Twitter shows you from now on will not show up in your feed. If you’ve already seen these suggestions before, they’ll still remain there.
Remove Tweets You’ve Seen Before
If you want to clear all the suggestions you’ve ever seen, you can do this by going to ‘Clear Recent Searches’. This option clears the last 100 searches you’ve made on Twitter, along with the options you didn’t choose. Again, if you’ve already seen these suggestions, they’ll disappear. If you want to clear the suggestions that you’ve already seen, you can do this manually. To do so, please follow the next steps: – Go to ‘Settings and Privacy’ > ‘Search’ > ‘Search History’. – Find the suggestions that you want to remove and click ‘X’. Note: If you remove the suggestions, they will not appear again.
Change the way they’re shown
If you don’t want to remove all Twitter’s search suggestions, you can change the way they’re displayed instead. To do this, go to ‘Settings and Privacy’ > ‘Search’ > ‘Show All’. You can change this to either ‘Show Most Recent’ or ‘Show All’.
Show Most Recent
This will show you the search suggestions in order of most recent to least recent. If you choose this option, it will mean that only tweets that are newer than the ones currently showing up in your feed will be suggested in the future.
Show All
This will show you all the suggested search terms, no matter how old they are. This means that if you see a term in your feed that you’ve already clicked on, you may accidentally click the same search again. Using either of these options will mean that Twitter’s suggestions will no longer be shown in your feed. If you want to see them, you’ll have to manually go to ‘Search’, where they’ll be displayed at the top of the page.
Don’t Let Content Suggestions Bother You
If you don’t want to remove all Twitter’s suggestions or change the way they’re displayed, the best thing you can do is ignore them. Don’t let them get to you and make you feel like you’re missing out on something just because they’re displayed when you use the site. In reality, they are designed to be helpful, not hurtful. They’re supposed to show you new, interesting content that you may not have come across if they weren’t there. So, don’t let them get to you. Instead, just ignore them and click away if you don’t like what they are suggesting.
Don’t be afraid to unfollow
If none of the above methods work for you, the best thing to do would be to unfollow the accounts that create content suggestions that you don’t like. This way, you won’t be bothered by them and can enjoy your feed again without them taking up space and distracting you. If you do decide to unfollow accounts, remember that it’s not a bad thing. Some people worry that unfollowing will hurt the feelings of the person or people who created that content. If that’s what you’re worried about, don’t be. Unfollowing someone because they contribute content suggestions that annoy you has nothing to do with them. It only has to do with you and your preferences. So, don’t be afraid to unfollow if you don’t like what they’re contributing to your feed.
Block Accounts That Constantly Show Up
If you don’t want to unfollow accounts, another thing you can do is block them. This will prevent their content suggestions from appearing in your feed ever again. If you block an account, you won’t be able to see it on Twitter and won’t be able to follow it either. This is helpful if you want to stop content suggestions from certain accounts but don’t want to unfollow them. Blocking them will mean that you won’t be able to see them or interact with them at all. To block an account, go to their profile and click the ‘Block’ option. You can also block accounts from the ‘Who to Follow’ section in your settings. There you’ll find a list of accounts that Twitter thinks you’ll like. Next to every account, you’ll see a ‘Block’ option. Click it to block that account from showing up in your feed.
Conclusion
Twitter’s search suggestions are supposed to be helpful, but they can also become a nuisance if you don’t want to see them in your feed. If you want to get rid of them, there are a few things you can do. You can clear all your search suggestions, remove the suggestions you’ve seen before, change the way they’re displayed, or don’t let them bother you. Or, you can block the accounts that create them so they don’t show up in your feed at all. No matter which method you use, you’ll soon find that Twitter is a much more enjoyable place.
