How to Delete a Direct Message from Twitter in Android
Once you send a direct message to anyone who follows you on Twitter, you may also want to delete it on your chat history.
Twitter once allowed users to cancel sending Direct Message messages from other people’s inboxes by simply deleting them from their own accounts. But Twitter changed it a year ago and only allows users to delete messages on their account. Other parties in the conversation can still see DMs or conversations that have been deleted.
Apart from the policy, Twitter also emphasizes that anyone who wants to leave the service can disable and then delete it. After a grace period of 30 days, the account will disappear along with the data. So, it means that your direct message will be deleted automatically.
Of course, if you want to delete a direct message from Twitter in Android fast, you certainly can do some ways below!
