How to block Twitter on iPhone

Yes. Inside iOS Screen Time the app is still listed under its current name, and the website domains twitter.com and x.com both resolve to the same place. Block both to be thorough; blocking only one still leaves the other open.

Because outrage, dunks, and replies that almost-but-not-quite apply to you are the highest-engagement content on the platform. The algorithm shows you what makes you react, not what makes you better. Twenty minutes of that has a measurable cost on mood, and you usually don't notice until you stop.

Yes. Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Web Content > Limit Adult Websites, then add twitter.com and x.com to Never Allow. Unglue blocks both the app and the equivalent web domain by default when you select it as a restricted app.

Yes. Use App Limits to cap daily use rather than blocking entirely, or use Downtime to allow Twitter during specific work hours and block it everywhere else. With Unglue, you earn unlock windows by completing a task or a focus session, which means access is intentional rather than reflexive.

That's a sign that scrolling has replaced reading. Try this: when something is interesting enough to bookmark, send it to a read-later app (or paste it into your notes) before scrolling further. That removes the “I'll come back later” excuse and lets you close the app sooner.

The app's blocked, so notifications and DMs won't pop up on your lock screen if you've also turned off notifications. To stay reachable without keeping the feed open, give important people a way to reach you outside Twitter (text, email, Signal). Then the feed losing access doesn't cost you anything that mattered.
