In this article, We’ll show you how to Remove Social Media Posts and Tweets. Your social media accounts show what parts of your life you share with your friends, family, and maybe even strangers. People post all kinds of things on social media, like selfies and pictures from their vacations, links to interesting articles, comments about their favorite sports teams, and random thoughts about movies, music, politics, and other things.

Even though it’s fun to chat on Facebook and Twitter, if you look back at the comments you’ve made over the years, you might cringe. There may come a time in your life when you want to clean up what you’ve posted on social media apps. It’s not that what you’ve posted is necessarily wrong, but this unfiltered, often spur-of-the-moment content may not look good when taken out of context years later.
