Notifications

X's inbox of mentions, replies, follows, likes, and reposts directed at your account.

In depth

Notifications surface every interaction with your account — sortable into 'All', 'Verified' (Premium-only filter), and 'Mentions'. Power users curate notifications aggressively: muting like-only notifications, surfacing only mentions and replies.

Notifications are also a discovery surface. The accounts that reply to your tweets become candidates for follows, DMs, and collaboration. Treat the notifications inbox as an audience-building tool, not just a feedback loop.
