Fortunately, you don’t need a special app or a code for that: today you can easily turn off somebody’s RT’s with just one button. Yes, mass removing RT’s from a list of people is not possible yet, but maybe in the future Twitter will give us this option to use.
Right now there is this one button in Twitter that gives its users an opportunity to remove RT’s from a particular person. Sure, you can repeat this action for many people when you want to get rid of all the RT’s in your feed. But if you’re reading more than 100 people it’s going to be quite time and effort-taking.
So, what does Twitter turn off RT’s button? It is easy to guess: if you press on it, you will no longer see any retweets from a certain person in your feed. Sometimes people go overboard with sharing the tweets, and you might not be necessarily interested in seeing it daily.
That’s why Twitter came up with this helpful feature: you can remove all the unwanted RT’s from your feed by simply pressing one button.
If you’re stubborn enough, you can even remove all the RT’s from all the people you’re reading (that’s possible, if this number isn’t bigger than several dozen and you have enough patience for the process), but unfortunately there is no button that would do it in one go yet.
However, we can hope for Twitter fixing it lately — lots of people on Twitter prefer reading only the tweets that their friends post, and they aren’t interested in news and jokes that their fellows might RT.
So, if you want to remove all the RT’s from your timeline and your on your mobile app, it’s very easy to do. Find the person whose retweets are an eyesore for you and go straight to their profile page.
There, find the button “settings” and press on it, from there you will get several options to pick from. You will eventually see “turn off retweets” — press on it to get all the RT’s removed from your feed.
