In this post, you’ll see the steps to remove your Twitter search history.

Let’s see how to delete search history on the Twitter app (Android):
Open the Twitter app.
Tap the “Search” icon at the bottom.
Tap the search box at the top. You can see both the normal and saved searches.
Normal Search
If you want to delete a single search, long-press the search that you wish to remove. Tap “Clear” on the pop-up.
Tap the “X” icon beside “Recent” to remove all the normal searches. In the confirmation pop-up, tap “Clear.”
Saved Search
Tap the saved search that you want to remove.
Hit the three vertical dots at the top right and hit the “Delete search” option.
Twitter for iPhone
You can clear all recent searches at once. Let’s see how.
Launch the Twitter app.
Hit the “Search” icon.
Tap the search box at the top.
Besides “Recent searches,” you will see the “X” icon. Hit it.
Tap “Clear.”
Let’s see important things about Twitter searches:
There are two types of searches on Twitter. They are:
- Normal search
- Saved search
Let’s see both.
Normal Search
This is the search you made on Twitter but it was not saved.
When you place the cursor or tap the Twitter search box, you will see the normal searches under the “Recent searches” or “Recent” section.
Remember, normal searches are only available on the device you’re using to do the search.
Example: If you search on Twitter for Android, it’ll be available in the app only.
Saved Search
Saved searches are searches that you’ve saved on Twitter. Each Twitter account can have up to twenty-five saved searches.
When you place the cursor or tap the search box, you’ll see the searches you’ve saved under the “Saved searches” or “Saved” section.
Remember, you can view your saved searches wherever you use your Twitter account.
Example: You saved a search on PC. You can see that one on the Twitter app.
Note: When you log out from Twitter (app and desktop version), all normal searches will get deleted automatically. The saved searches remain intact.
