Don’t we all hate it when we get a notification from any app, open it and find nothing?! This issue has been happening with many people on Twitter and no one knows yet what the cause of this issue is.
Twitter is a social media app where you share your thoughts, in limited word count tweets, with friends or followers and also you can get some news. It was launched in 2012 with 100 million users around the globe!
It’s one of the best apps that you can spend time on, share your opinion, vent out, and see what others are sharing as well.
However, some iPhone users reported that they get notifications and find nothing when they open the app. Additionally, the notification sign won’t go away even with no notifications received.
Let’s find out why this issue continues to happen, and how to fix these twitter notifications!
Why is Twitter notification not going away?
Possible reason #1: An unread message hidden in your direct messages.
On Twitter, the notification icon indicates that you have an unread message or an unchecked notification. Your Twitter messages are displayed in chronological order from the newest to the oldest when they arrive.
Each unread message is saved as a notification with an icon indicating that it has not yet been read. In some instances, you might receive so many unread messages that you open some at the top of the list and overlook others at the bottom. The unread messages at the bottom of the list are pushed further down as new messages are received over time.
Possible reason #2: A message request
A person you don’t follow doesn’t have direct access to your inbox when they message you. Their message is therefore sent to you as a message request. This means that the request is pushed to messages after you decline it or before you start chatting.
As a result, the message request section is a separate section where the unread message requests are kept. And that means you don’t get a message notification unless you allow the message itself; therefore, you might get a notification but you can’t see where it’s from.
Possible reason #3: Twitter is down
This could be the worst case because it is not something you can easily fix if this is the reason the red notification icon is bothering you. You’ll need to get ready for the icon to be there for a while.
If Twitter has some issues that cause your notification to stay, this could take some time to be fixed.
