Filter out junk notifications and get alerted only about the stuff you care about by turning on the quality filter option in the X app or website.
Any time someone mentions you on X, you’ll see the person’s post in your Notifications timeline.
X includes tools to help filter out the junk, so if you want to keep yourself from having to look at junk in your Notifications timeline, then you might want to enable its quality filtering tools.
You can enable the quality filter both from the web and from the mobile app on your iPhone or iPad. We’ll show you both methods, but keep in mind you won’t need to do both as your settings sync across all of your devices when you enable the quality filter from just one device.
