How to delete Twitter search history on mobile and PC

Twitter search history is crucial for quick access to profiles, hashtags, etc. Instead of monotonous type searching, you can access the same content with a few taps.

Instead of using outdated methods shared on the internet to get rid of them, try the most up-to-date and useful method for 2023 that we share below.
