Strange old tweets in "home"

Discussion in 'Twitter' started by wquatan, Jun 5, 2012.

    In my twitter-home, I have old tweets (from someone else). Probably they got there by a search or subscription. Any referenece (following / search) have been removed, but those tweets don't go away. My own tweets which were there too, got removed, but can't get rid of the other ones.

    What can I do ?

    Could you provide us with a screenshot?

    These tweets may come only from people who you follow, retweeted messages by people you follow, tweets from lists & searches and promoted tweets.

    That's what I would think too. so, I removed everything, even my own tweets. No following / f o l l o w e r s / searches / lists remain, only those silly old tweets dated october 2011 !

    See screenshot attached

    Thx :)

    That's really weird. Try blocking the account, that should help.

    Even that doesn't work ! They're still there (in different browsers and other apps) in H o m e and in Timeline.

    Yes, contact Twitter support and let them know about this. They should be able to resolve it...

    I did, and this is the answer I got :

    Unfollowing a user is not retroactive, meaning those Tweets will not  be removed from your timeline,
    but you will no longer continue to  receive updates from that user.

    Code (markup):
    I'm not a Twitter guru, but can't imagine they need to stay forever. I seem to remember that I added/removed recently someone, those tweets didn't remain in home/timeline. If this is "as designed" I really have my thoughts about it.

    That is strange. When I unfollow someone, all their tweets usually disappear. from my timeline (when I refresh the page).
