How to Automatically Delete Tweets

Your tweets shouldn’t define your future. Today, Redact.dev introduces Disappearing Mode for Twitter — giving you total control over your posts by automatically deleting tweets, retweets, and likes after a set time.

Apps like Signal, Telegram, and Snapchat already offer disappearing messages. Now, with Redact, you can bring that same self-cleaning technology to your Twitter account, keeping your timeline fresh, focused, and protected.

If you’re looking to auto-delete tweets, remove retweets, or clean up your Twitter likes, Disappearing Mode makes it super easy.

What is Disappearing Mode?

Disappearing Mode is an automatic deletion feature that lets you set custom rules to routinely delete your content without lifting a finger. You control what types of posts are deleted, when they are deleted, and how long they stay visible before they vanish.

With Disappearing Mode, you can:

  • Auto-delete tweets after a certain number of days, weeks, or hours
  • Remove likes, retweets, and tagged tweets
  • Protect your privacy by constantly clearing outdated or unwanted content

How to Set Up Disappearing Mode

To start automatically deleting your Twitter content, first download and log into Redact.dev. If you don’t already have an account, you’ll need to create one and select a premium subscription. Redact also offers a free trial that includes bulk deletion of Twitter posts.

Once logged in, open the Disappearing Mode section from the left-hand menu.

Next, select Twitter as the platform you want to configure.

Customize which types of Twitter content you want to auto-delete. You can choose to delete:

  • Original tweets
  • Retweets
  • Likes
Content types for auto-deletion.

After choosing what you want to delete, set your preservation window — this defines how long content stays visible before being deleted. You can set it for any number of days, weeks, or even as short as 24 hours.

Finally, adjust additional settings. If you want Redact to only start auto-deleting new tweets moving forward (and not touch older posts), you can enable that option.

If you’re using an hourly preservation window, you’ll be able to delete content more often – if this is selected, Redact will check for new content every hour.

Once your settings are in place, Disappearing Mode will automatically run in the background, keeping your Twitter account fresh without requiring manual effort.
