Method 1: Twitter
This
method is useful for fully disabling Facebook posts from your Twitter account,
as well as identifying which applications have access to your Twitter account.
- After logging in to the Twitter account you wish to
prevent Facebook posts from appearing on, go ahead and click the silver
gear-looking icon in the top-right of the black bar which stretches
across the entire top of your screen.
- A drop-down menu will appear. At the top of the
menu, you will see items such as Edit Profile, Direct messages, Lists,
Help, Keyboard shortcuts and Twitter Ads. Near the bottom of this
drop-down menu, you will want to click Settings.
- Here the main Account settings page will load. In
the center of the page you’ll be able to edit a variety of general account
settings, such as Username, Email, Language, Time Zone and many others.
Looking to the left of this column, we’ll see a navigation menu with
items like Account, Password, Mobile and Email notifications at the top.
Looking toward the bottom of this navigation menu, go ahead and click
Apps.
- Now, all of the applications which have access to your
Twitter account will be displayed in order from most recently activated to
those activated a digital millennia ago. (Twitter began
nearly six years ago. In digital/computer time, that’s officially
classified as “forever”.) If there are a lot of applications in your
list, using ⌘+F on a Mac or Ctrl+F on PC to perform a “search on
this page” command and typing “Facebook” can help speed up the process.
If there are only a few, scrolling to the item listed as Facebook
by Facebook / Facebook to Twitter will get you where you need
to go.
- Lastly, once the application has been located, click Revoke
Access on the right to finalize the process.
Method 2: Facebook
While
this method is a lot easier, it will not give you as clear of a view as to
which apps have access to your Twitter account. It will, however, allow
you to select and filter which types of content are passed from Facebook to
Twitter.
- Pull up the following URL in
your internet browser: https://www.facebook.com/twitter
- On the Facebook to Twitter page, locate the profile or
fan page which is sending posts to Twitter. If you wish to configure
which types of content are shared to Twitter, click Edit
Settings. Here, you can choose from Status Updates, Photos,
Video, Links, Notes and Events. Simply check/un-check the
items you wish/do not wish to be pushed to Twitter and click Save
Changes when finished.
- If you wish to completely stop Facebook from sending
posts to Twitter, simply click Unlink from Twitter.
That’s
it! You’ve successfully regained control over which types of content are
passed between your Facebook and Twitter accounts! You may have even
stumbled upon several other apps which you no longer wish to have access to
your Twitter account. Heck, you might have even located other Fan Pages
posting to other Twitter accounts that needed an update.
