Hi. I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'm going to talk through how to delete a Twitter tweet.
A flip of the finger. A moment of passionate anger. Or even someone else hacking into your Twitter account can result in a tweet you want to get rid of quickly. Thankfully, you can delete an old tweet quickly on either the Twitter app for your smart device, or via Twitter's website. This video walks you through removing a tweet in either location. However, tweets may continue living on after they are deleted if anyone took a screen cap of a tweet.
Steps to Delete Twitter Tweet on iPhone or Android
1. Launch the Twitter app and log in to your account. The home screen associated with your account appears.
