This information helps Twitter to suggest better content for you to interact with while on the app. However, there is a tendency for your interests to change, causing you to develop a distaste for Twitter&#8217;s suggestions. So, you should learn how to clear Twitter history suggestions to mitigate this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearing your suggestions history will indicate a change to the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.twitter.com\/engineering\/en_us\/topics\/open-source\/2023\/twitter-recommendation-algorithm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter algorithm<\/a>. Since Twitter pushes suggested content to your \u201cfor you\u201d timeline based on your searches, you must delete your search history. The steps for deleting your Twitter or X search history are the same as in the previous section. So scroll back a bit if you need to refresh your memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After wiping away your search records, the algorithm will fill your timeline with tweets similar to the content you like. Twitter&#8217;s algorithm monitors your comments, retweets, profiles, and topics you follow to curate your feed. So don&#8217;t worry; you&#8217;ll still see various posts on your timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how to clear Twitter history suggestions, let\u2019s see how to influence the new tweet recommendations.

That\u2019s because, besides the search history, your device stores certain information that helps load the Twitter app without delay. Though the cache feature is useful, it can cause your mobile devices to lag over time. You can clear your Twitter or X cache to optimize the app when this happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goodbye to Cache Data on iPhone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you scroll through Twitter on your iPhone, videos, user profile data, and images automatically save to the cache. The Twitter cache is a temporary storage space that retains content so they won\u2019t have to redownload upon subsequent viewing. However, when cache data accumulates, it can affect the app negatively. As a result, you must learn how to clear your Twitter browsing history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to clear your iPhone&#8217;s cache browsing history, you&#8217;ll need these seven steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the Twitter or X app and tap the profile icon at the top left.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"283\" data-id=\"917\" src=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1618-1024x283.png\" alt=\"TweetDelete\u2019s screenshot of the profile icon on Twitter for iPhone.\" class=\"wp-image-917\" style=\"width:640px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1618-1024x283.png 1024w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1618-300x83.png 300w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1618-768x212.png 768w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1618.png 1156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Select settings and support, then click settings and privacy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to \u201caccessibility, display, and languages,\u201d then select data usage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" data-id=\"918\" src=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1610-1024x663.jpg\" alt=\"TweetDelete\u2019s Twitter screenshot of the accessibility, display, and language options.\" class=\"wp-image-918\" style=\"width:640px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1610-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1610-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1610-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1610.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>Click \u201cstorage,\u201d then select \u201cmedia storage.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap \u201cclear media storage\u201d and confirm the action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, from the data usage tab, select web storage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"444\" data-id=\"919\" src=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1611-1024x444.jpg\" alt=\"TweetDelete\u2019s screenshot of Twitter\u2019s data usage tab showing media and web storage.\" class=\"wp-image-919\" style=\"width:640px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1611-1024x444.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1611-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1611-768x333.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1611.jpg 1169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\">\n<li>Tap \u201cclear web page storage\u201d and confirm the action to delete your cache.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free up Space on Your Android Phone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Android phones, especially those with less storage capacity, are affected mainly by Twitter cache.
