If you’re having trouble installing the latest Twitter for Android app, check to see how much space is available on your phone. Ideally, your device should have a minimum of 50MB of available space.
To see how much space is available on your device, follow these instructions:
Download this app from Microsoft Store for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Team (Surface Hub), HoloLens. See screenshots, read the latest customer reviews, and compare ratings for Twitter. The official Twitter app will allow you to keep using one of the most extensive social networks of the time in any place and at any moment, as long as you are connected to the Internet. From the app’s main page you can carry out all the usual functions of Twitter: Follow and Unfollow other users, tweet, retweet, etc.
- From your device's home screen, tap the Settings icon.
- In the Device section, open Storage.
- If your device has less than 50MB available, you may need to uninstall other apps to clear space.
- Once you have more space available, try downloading the app again.
If you have enough space available and you’re still having trouble installing the app, try the following:
- Cancel the download in the Google Play Store, then restart the download.
- If restarting the download doesn’t work, try logging out of Twitter. Then retry downloading the app.
- If you’re still unable to download the app, try uninstalling the Twitter app from your device. After it’s uninstalled, restart your phone and then re-install the Twitter app from the Google Play Store.
- If you’re still having trouble, check the Google Play Help Center for tips to troubleshoot download issues.
Note: The Twitter for Android app is available for phones running Android 7.93.4 and above. We no longer support older versions. If you remain on these versions, please note that you may not be able to install or update Twitter for Android app in the Google Play Store. Please also note that the app may also stop working as expected. To experience the most up-to-date Twitter for Android experience, update your Android device OS and download the latest version in the store, or visit twitter.com in your browser.
Try clearing the app's data
Twitter Appeal
Clearing the app's data can help the app run faster and solves many common issues. Clearing data from the app will not remove your account from the app or any of your account information, but it will reset your notification and sync settings to their default settings.
- From your device's home screen, tap the Settings icon.
- Select Applications.
- Select the Twitter app, scroll down and tap Clear Data.
- If you've cleared your data but are still experiencing the issue, try turning your phone off and then on.
Check that your time zone settings are set to update automatically
If you're seeing 'Unauthorized' or 'Invalid username and Password' when you try to sign in, this is likely caused by incorrect time zone settings or an outdated version of the Twitter client application. Please make sure your Twitter client is up to date with the latest version and that the date, time and timezone settings are set to update automatically.
- Press the menu button from from your home screen.
- Tap Settings.
- Select Date & Time.
- Make sure the option to Set Automatically is enabled.
Log out of the app and log back in
If clearing your app's data or turning your phone off and then on again didn't work, you should try logging out of the app and then logging back in. If you’ve enabled login verification on your account, be sure to store a backup code before logging out.
To log out of Twitter for Android:
- In the top menu, you will either see a navigation menu icon or your profile icon. Tap whichever icon you have and select Settings and privacy.
- Tap Account, then tap Log out. This will not deactivate your account, rather this will only log your account out of the app.
- Confirm the removal of the account by tapping OK.
To log back in to your account:
- After logging out of the account, you can add it back by opening the app and tapping Log in.
- Enter your username and password.
- Tap Log in.
Check your network connection
First try powering down your device for a few moments. Turn your device back on and make sure you have a strong data connection.
If you are using WiFi to connect to the Twitter for Android app, try an alternate WiFi connection. If one works and the other does not, it is most likely that the WiFi connection does not accept SSL or is blocking Twitter.
If you have a network connection but WiFi is turned on, your device will default to the WiFi connection.
Uninstall and reinstall the app
If you’ve enabled login verification on your account, be sure to store a backup code before uninstalling the app.
To uninstall the Twitter for Android app:
- From your home screen, press the menu button and select Applications.
- Select Manage Applications.
- Select Twitter.
- Tap the Uninstall icon at the top.
- If the Twitter for Android app came preloaded on your device, it may not be possible to remove the app completely. Uninstalling will uninstall the latest update. After uninstalling the latest version, you can update the app again from the app store.
To install the Twitter for Android app:
- Open the Google Play app or another app store that features the Twitter for Android app.
- Search for Twitter for Android.
- Select Download and accept the permissions.

Authentication and Bring your own application
The Twitter connector now supports multiple authentication types:
- Use default shared application
- Bring your own application
The default shared application uses a Twitter Client application maintained by Microsoft. In this case, when you sign into your Twitter account, you'll be asked to consent to the Microsoft Power Platform application.
With 'Bring your own application' option, you can use your own Twitter OAuth Client application instead of the one managed by Microsoft. Doing so will allow you to control permissions and enable certain limitations on the use of the connector.
To use your own Twitter OAuth Client application with the Twitter connector, you'll need to perform the following steps:
- Create an OAuth client application using Twitter developer page (https://developer.twitter.com)
- Use the application in the Twitter connector
Creating an OAuth Client Application in Twitter
To create your own Twitter OAuth client application, you'll need to first sign in to https://developer.twitter.com.Navigate to the 'Projects & Apps' section which is where you can manage and create twitter applications.This process is explained in Twitter's Twitter Developer Guide. After creating twitter app on developer page following steps are required for proper setup:
- Select your twitter app
- Edit app permissions to enable read and write.
- Edit authentication settings
- Enable 3rd party authentication
- Add 'https://global.consent.azure-apim.net/redirect' for the callback URLs (NOTE: If you are using Fairfax subscription or GCC environment look at 'Fairfax and GCC callbacks' section)
- Set 'Website URL' (required field, but it's value does not affect the flow)
Fairfax and GCC callbacks
If you are using Fairfax subscription or GCC environment add the following URLs for the callback URLs of your Twitter app:
- For Fairfax:
- For GCC:
Once you're done, select your twitter app and navigate to the 'Keys and tokens' page. In the 'Consumer Keys' section, click on 'View Keys' button, to get the API key and the API key secret of your app. You can now use those values in your Twitter connection.
Using your own application in the Twitter connector
Once you create the Twitter OAuth client application, you can use it while creating a Twitter connection.
- Select Bring your own application.
- Specify the Client ID and Client secret values from your application. (Use the API key and the API key secret of your Twitter app)
Click on Sign in to sign into your Twitter account. This will prompt you to sign in to your Twitter account, and then authorize access to the Twitter app that you created above.
