How to delete old tweets so you don't get fired

For a more mobile solution, iOS users can download the Tweeticide app. It’s $3, works with iOS 11.0 and, like the rest of these solutions, will delete the last 3,200 tweets in your timeline.

Android users have a more feature-full app in Xpire. Available free from Google Play, Xpire enables you to search and delete tweets selectively or wholesale, send “self-destructing” tweets that delete themselves after a certain amount of time and it even rates the riskiness of what you post online in a Social Score.

Your Twitter cleanup cannot be a one-time event, however. Many of these services offer ongoing tweet deletion features, and you’d do well to use them. Even if you aren’t comfortable with leaving your credentials with these sites and want to revoke their access after you use them, make sure to set a calendar reminder to reinstall and use them every six months. Or every Monday if you tend to party too hard.
