Introduction
Twitter (now X) is known as one of the more popular social networking sites currently available. Unfortunately, Twitter also has quite a list of email messages (notifications for DMs, likes, retweets, etc.) that they end up sending you to overload your Gmail inbox. By default, most or all of the email notifications are enabled by default.
This has proven itself to be very quick at being very annoying to most users. Most users don’t want to sit around unchecking everything they don’t want. That list is not always a short one.
If you're looking to stop email notifications from Twitter easily, this is the perfect guide for you. With the Block Sender for Chrome extension, you can quickly block annoying emails with just a click.
How to Turn Off Twitter Email Notifications (From Twitter Mobile App)
One way to stop getting emails from Twitter is to disable them in the app's settings. Here's how to disable email notifications from the Twitter/X mobile app:
Note: Skip to this section if you can't access your Twitter account.
- Click on your profile icon in the top left corner.
- Tap Settings & Support at the bottom, then Settings and privacy.
- Select Notifications from the settings, then Preferences > Email notifications.
- Disable the notifications you don't want to receive or stop all email notifications by turning off the toggle at the very top.
How to Unsubscribe From Twitter Emails Using Your Email Provider
Another way to stop Twitter from sending you emails is to click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of Twitter emails.
However, you should be careful while clicking the unsubscribe link, as it could be a scam email. A safer and recommended approach is to block the emails without clicking the unsubscribe link. There are multiple free tools, like BlockSender, that allow you to do so without the hassle of finding and clicking the unsubscribe link.
Another thing to note is that unsubscribing this way won't stop the emails directly. The unsubscribe link will take you to the Twitter app settings to update your email preferences. In case you're unable to access your Twitter account, read the next section.
How BlockSender Helps You Stop Twitter Email Notifications
The best approach to put a stop to Twitter emails is to block the emails entirely. BlockSender for Gmail makes it simple and easy to do that. With Block Sender, you don't have to dig into unsubscribe links or find the email notification settings in the app. Just click the Block button, and you're good to go. Simple as that.
- First, install Block Sender for Gmail if you haven't already. The installation won’t take long. Open Gmail when it is done.
- After signing up for a Block Sender account and linking your Gmail account to Block Sender, open the unwanted email from Twitter, and click the "Block" button on the messages toolbar.
- Select the "Emails from this sender" option. (To block all Twitter emails, select Emails from this domain instead.)
Once this is done, you will no longer receive emails from that Twitter email account. If you ever decide you want to start receiving their emails again, you can simply unblock the email.
Also note that Twitter may send emails from multiple email accounts, so you can block each one you receive, or you can simply block their entire domain.
Twitter/ email domains:
X mainly uses two domains to send emails:
- @x.com- Important account-related emails
- @e.x.com - Marketing and engagement emails
@e.x.com is safe to block if you want to stop all promotional emails from Twitter.
Conclusion
If you’re asking how do I stop emails from Twitter, the easiest solution is to block them at the inbox level. While Twitter allows you to manage email notifications in its settings, that process can be time-consuming. BlockSender for Gmail lets you stop Twitter emails instantly with a single click, helping you keep your inbox clean and distraction-free.
