Twitter Keeps Crashing on iPhone X? Here’s How to Fix It

If Twitter keeps crashing or freezing on your iPhone X, you’re not alone. This is a fairly common issue that can happen after an update, due to network problems, or just random glitches. The good news? There are plenty of things you can try to get the app working again.

Here’s a full list of troubleshooting tips to fix Twitter when it won’t stay open or keeps crashing on your iPhone X.

Force Close Twitter and Restart Your iPhone

Sometimes, all it takes is a quick reboot to clear out a temporary glitch.

Here’s what to do:

Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle to open the App Switcher.
Swipe up on the Twitter card to force close it.
Now restart your iPhone by holding the Side button + Volume Down, then slide to power off.
After 30 seconds, press the Side button again to turn it back on.

Open Twitter again and see if it’s stable.

Toggle Wi-Fi Off and Back On

Twitter relies on a steady internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is flaky, the app might crash while trying to sync.

Try this:

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Toggle the Wi-Fi switch off.
Wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
Reconnect to your network and relaunch Twitter.

Close All Background Apps

Too many apps running at once can sometimes cause performance hiccups, including app crashes.

To clear them out:

Swipe up from the bottom and pause to see all open apps.
Swipe up on each app preview to close them one by one.
Once everything’s cleared, restart your iPhone for good measure.

Reset All Settings (Non-Destructive)

If the crashes started after changing some settings, it might help to reset them all without wiping your data.

Here’s how:

Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.
Tap Reset > Reset All Settings.
Enter your passcode and confirm.

This won’t delete your files or apps, but you’ll need to reconnect to Wi-Fi networks and reconfigure things like Bluetooth devices or wallpapers.

Delete and Reinstall the Twitter App

If the app itself is corrupted or buggy, a clean reinstall can help.

Steps:

Tap and hold the Twitter app until it jiggles.
Tap the minus (–) or X button, then confirm Delete App.
Open the App Store, search for “Twitter,” and reinstall it.
Launch Twitter after the reinstall and sign back in.

Check for App and iOS Updates

Outdated apps or system software can cause compatibility issues.

To update Twitter:

Open the App Store.
Tap your profile icon at the top right.
Scroll down to find Twitter and tap Update (if available).

To update iOS:

Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
If an update is available, tap Download and Install.

Install both updates and reboot your iPhone before testing Twitter again.
